If I owned a racehorse, I'd name him Carl or Peter or something like that.

I'd name mine Big Johnson.

He ran a perfect race, coming back from that stumble was one of the most incredible things I've seen in sports. I was up Philly park watching the race and everyone around me gasped thinking he was going down.
