With his record being broken yesterday, thought we should enjoy this, let's see if Twirling Candy can do this:

Thanks for that! Never get tired of The Bid.

However, I've always thought Relaunch should get an under-the-titles credit for that WR too. :)

He was just something else. Glorious Song gave an excellent account of herself, she beat the field but she wouldn't catch him.

SG, Relaunch should get a little footnote somewhere about that WR; "record prompted and sponsered by Relaunch".

GMTA .... me too. I was a big fan of Relaunch. Bid was capable of setting a record at any distance he ran, but it sure does help when the early pacesetters are flying on the lead.

Without looking it up, I think probably Beau's Eagle may given some help as well.

And here I was sure you were going to write about Flying Paster! :becky:

Whenever I watch the race linked above I am always moved by those few seconds in which Relaunch tries so hard to go with The Bid when he moves past. The heart was so willing, but the legs and lungs were so tired.
