BevLive: Bluegrass Classic, Day Four

Got very hot today and is supposed to be hotter tomorrow for the double lift, which is certainly too bad. Some great runs on both fields in spite of the heat. Bruce Fogt had a very nice run with Cam which broke into the 80s for a score. Later in the day he got beat by Roy Taber and York’s winning run which I missed. Hemp ran just as the heat was becoming an issue and did well except for another fairly poor finish to end up eleventh. Not what we’d hoped but good enough for a turn tomorrow and that’s the main thing. Joe ran very well in nursery to get second and win the overall which was nice. He’s certainly more comfortable on the smaller field. I hope by the end of the trip he will have gained more comfort in bigger spaces.

The draw is done for the double lift. Speculation is that it’s going to take an early, cool draw to win. I hope not as I drew up tenth. Don Whittington is in with his good old Fionn running just before me. We’re both hoping for a sudden cool front.
