WIHA State Finals: Hunter Hack W/ Race [06:56]

The hunter hack class was not the only class with strange placings. There were a number of other classes where the judge made some wild decisions. Anyway, I'm at least happy with Racer. He performed so well for me, especially in the rail work. I have decided that I am going to give Race about a month off from ...
