One has to wonder how the greats would match up. Who would win a race of Man-O-War, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Unbridled, the other great horses? - you can't really compare them by time... as their speed would be influenced by the speed of the others in the race at the time.

What do you think? - Are the horses today faster than those of the past? Have they been improved even more? - or not? Is the thoroughbred of today pretty much the same as it was in 1917?

Oh, that image of Man o'War above didn't stick. That was a fine beast.

I wonder about your question....so many variables. I consider the jockey to be one of the key variables in the whole mix too. Tough to say, but wouldn't it be a grand race to see all those ghosts of the past return for one last great race......

Maybe one day at that fast racetrack in the sky?
