I live outside of Baltimore, and moved here in 1972. I am one of those "watch-the-three-races-a-year" person, although I live in an area filled with horse farms.

Anyway, I remember Secretariat's exciting run for the triple crown - I've never seen anything like it. He broke the KY Derby record, almost broke the Preakness record, and that run in Belmont was the most fantastic and exciting thing to see. I am glad I experienced it.

Horse purists look at Seattle Slew as the better horse, but to me it will always be Secretariat. Fabulous champion.

I think you might be wrong about one thing...

I thought Secretariat busted every record, every day?

We shall find out in a second, if you are watching.
