He's a real nice horse, well-bred and handles himself well,

It's nice to sometimes get things out of life, rather than stealing from other artists. I'm trying to steal from the real people.

I thought he did a good job last week but he's drawn badly and that makes it tough, particularly from the 2400m start,

Some friends of mine bothered me for a long time about getting on the social networking pages. They were close friends that I liked to mess with, and I think that I kind of enjoyed for a while that it bothered them so much. Now they've just kind of given up.
