For better or worse ...

Not really sure how I feel about this just yet. If he is happy and sound, so be it.
I love watching him run ... but I'm VERY pensive about it.
Too many retired horses that came back and died on the track in the past for my taste.
Gonna be holding my breath and crossing my fingers.
