“Hello, my name is
Adrian.
I work with Harness Racing
Victoria
in
Melbourne,
Australia and
am a huge fan of Asafa. So much so that
back in early 2005 after my horse trainer picked out a
horse for me to
buy at the yearling sales that I named him Asafa. He was
big and black
and we were hoping he was fast, which he has turned out
to be. He has
won 8 races to date.
When he first started racing he had a symmetry with
Asafa, when Asafa
the runner would win, Asafa the horse would win, in fact
when his
world record was equaled, Asafa the horse dead heated for
first the
following day. A news story was actually made and aired
on a TV
station here about it, just before Asafa came to
Melbourne for the
Commonwealth Games. Myself, my trainer and her family all
went to the
Commonwealth Games and cheered Asafa on and his Gold
Medal winning run
was awesome.”

”Recently, Asafa Powell came to Japan to compete in the
IAAF championships in Osaka and my students became even more inspired to work
hard to achieve their dreams and to become as successful as Powell (even though
he was outrun by Gay). Since then, Powell has become a local hero with pictures
popping up all over the school and more and more I am being bombarded with
"Asafa Powell" questions…I am still beaming with pride because of how
he (Powell) has inspired my Japanese students”

“Asafa,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say that I am a
big fan of your. I haven't run track
since my freshman year of college back in 91, but I do try to keep up with the
sport from time to time. What does 2008
hold in store for you. I know that in 07 you were plagues with a lot of
injuries, but I hope that you will be making some positives moves in 2008. Hope to hear back from you.
Always,
Marcus”
