2nd lap Canter for the Cause 2018 Pemlico Track

This is the raw video footage from my SECOND lap in the 2018 Canter for the Cause ride. It was done on Pimlico track. Forest and I hadn't been riding together very long and he was only a little over a year off from racing.
I wasn't terribly confident in our relationship at the time. I was also really annoyed that there was constantly slow people hugging the rail and were in the way of us going fast.
I was in my Australian saddle back when it fit him really well. Prior to his growth spurt and me having it modified by the master Colin Dangaard to fit Forest again.
We get right into the rode, at the 33 sec mark Diniah makes her move on us and right away he goes to race mode and stops listening and you can hear our conversation and he gives me control back
So many riders on the rail. I really should have let him go there in the corner and home stretch. I didn't have the confidence to do that. I needed another lap.
