But it was hard for Kingsley to pass up an opportunity to bring Charles to Will Rogers Coliseum and shoot for one more notch in his record.<\/p>\n<p>Kingsley, the host of Bob Kingsley\u2019s Country Top 40, had another motive in bringing Charles out of retirement. For the first time, Kingsley would be able to ride the stallion himself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When Matt rode him, he turned so hard a few times that Matt\u2019s rear came out of the saddle,&#8221; Kingsley noted on Friday. &#8220;I just hope I can stay on him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Kingsley had no problem staying aboard Charles and, despite his &#8220;first time&#8221; jitters, scored\u00a075 points. It was just the third time Kingsley had shown a horse since he was sidelined following surgery, last fall and again this spring, to repair a detached retina in his right eye. Then on Sunday, he marked 76 to win the Non-Pro.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/features\/pix\/its_just_about_me_20060826.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Bob Kingsley with Its Just About Me.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its Just About Me (Charles), a leader among foals of 1999, passed the $300,000 earnings&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cutting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sallyharrison.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
