BTW, “Big Red” is for MAN O’WAR, the 1st and only true Big Red, for which the spring was named. All others including Secretariat are imposters.

Anyone who thinks the spring at the track was named for Man o'War is truly delusional.

(FTR, I never saw Man o'War run. I did see Secretariat. He was good, to be sure, but I did see him lose three times.)
