There are huge stud bulls out in the fields right now bowing to Hooker. What a performance!

Hooker running on pure emotions.....

Huge failure at first attempt, was atleast 20cm clear then hit it on the way down... Then his first clearance (5m90) he nearly bursts into tears.... what emotions... gotta love the guy!

From my website:

Maksim Tarasov of Russia entered the Golden League meeting in Berlin 1999 at 5,90.
He cleared on the first attempt, then later also 6,01 to win the meet.
