Grand Canyon collected $166440 of the $277440 purse for Lukas and his partner, William T. Young of Lexington, Ky. Grand Canyon ran the 1 1/16 miles in 1:43 1/5 ...

Barrel Racing. Summer Series. Week 6. [00:27]
Last night of the summer series. Ran an 18:D She was running her best for me even though she wasnt feeling good. The previous day, our neighbors stud got out an dkicked her up pretty good. So we gave her some pain medicine, and then the next day she had abcessed on her neck:/ So that shows true love and bond. I'm so very proud of this horse. We came along way in 3 years. I couldn't even touch her, and now she is running like a seasoned barrel horse and even beating them:D
