When Bailey won the B.C. Classic on Arcagnes, it was because, as he said it, "I didn't impose my will on the horse's natural running.

He mentioned that he was "instructed" French, didn't understand a word of it, so he let the horse RUN, the way the horse was used to running and the result was the animal's NOT HIS.

The good, honest riders know this.
