Part 2: How Last Chance Harvey's Life Has Evolved

As I said in the introduction, Last Chance Harvey's lifetime mark is 1:53:0 at The Meadows. Well, as it turns out, he set it while he was a six year old. But while racing the last 2 seasons at Shenandoah Downs, Thunder Ridge Raceway, and The Meadows, Last Chance Harvey has had himself some of his best racing of his career. In those consecutive years, Last Chance Harvey has made almost $25,000 dollars, most of which at Shenandoah Downs. When Last Chance Harvey races at the Virginia track, he is usually the favorite to win when the starting gate starts to roll. But in his last start to date, Last Chance Harvey was not the favorite to win the NW $2,001 Optional $4,000 Claimer. B Blissful, Last Chance Harvey's rival, was the favorite with Virginia native Charles Perry driving. But Last Chance Harvey got himself a better trip and won by 1 length over B Blissful. When he goes into the winner's circle, everyone claps and cheers. But the funniest part isn't Last Chance Harvey or the applause. It's Henry Lewis, Last Chance Harvey's owner and trainer from Loris, South Carolina. One time at Shenandoah Downs he said to me in a Southern twang, Harvey did a very good job today.

Part 3: Conclusion of Last Chance Harvey

While Last Chance Harvey does not do what people want him to do, he usually lives up to his potential. He usually wins, finishes second or third, or at least gets a decent check. While everyone bets all of their cash on him, nobody steals his thunder. He tries to beat horses that some people believe he's going to be beat by. And sometimes it does happen. Every horse loses at some point during their racing career.
