We’re going to do something else. Um… First of all, let me ask you the most important thing. How is Bonfire? 00:00:32:25 Anky van Grunsven: Bonfire’s great! He’s 21 now and still fit. (I) ride him five times a week like fifteen minutes, twenty minutes and for the rest he’s in the fields with a little Shetland pony, having fun. 00:00:46:03 Melvin Cox: Last night when you, when you showed the tape of the Olympic Games… I have the tape at home; I watched it a week ago. But, every time I see it, I still get chills. And so there’s just such a respect for what you and Bonfire were able to accomplish at the last Olympics in Australia. How can you ever top that? 00:01:09:12 Anky van Grunsven: I don’t want to top what I had with Bonfire.
