“how stupid your War Admiral-Seabiscuit analogy is”

If you think it’s stupid to settle sporting controversies on the field of action, you probably also think the New England Patriots had a better season than the New York Giants. I guarantee that the Patriots and Giants wouldn’t agree with that opinion.

Seabiscuit at his best beat War Admiral at his best by 4 lengths. Reportedly the match race terms were dictated by War Admiral’s owner, who tried hard to dodge the race. It’s still available on video, in case you weren’t also there in 1938.

Thanks for bringing up the Patriots and the Giants. I am a lifelong Giants fan, but I know enough about football to know that the Patriots had a better team than the Giants did last year.

I know Bob Baffert (Know him?) wasn't around for Secretariat but here's what he had to say about Big Brown: "This is the best horse I've seen since I've been in the business." You, on the other hand, think he has just romped past pigs.
