A Great End To Halloween

Last night my parents had a horse named Gone To The Mountain run in the Red Cell Distance Challenge held at Los Alamitos in California. So after trick or treating we came home to watch him run on TVG. There was so much publicity around this race since Gone To The Mountain is the current world record holder for the fastest time going 870 yards and another horse named Snowbound Superstar had 15 consecutive wins going into last nights race. Not to mention the other horses that were in the race that deserved to be there but didn't have all the hoopla that these two had. It was so nerve racking waiting for the race to run. Snowbound Superstar had the advantage running on his home turf but in the end after an impressive race the winner was, GONE TO THE MOUNTAIN!!!! It was so much fun to watch and made us wish even more that we had gone like we had been planning for months. Bradyn was still wanting to go and was ready to drive straight there yesterday morning to make in time for the race. If it wasn't for Halloween and 2 kids to worry about I would have done it. Hopefully they qualify again next year and we can go. Congratulations Dad and Mom, it was so exciting!!! And to Jason for holding down the fort and who had 2 for 4. Not too shabby.
