There’s nothing wrong with trivia from someone who loves his subject.

In humans an enlarged heart is not a good thing, apparently it wasn’t the case with Secretariat. I’m only a casual watcher of the sport, but even a casual fan had to find Secretariat about as exciting as sport can get.

Even in humans there is such a thing as an “athlete’s heart”, which is quite different from an enlarged heart due to disease. My stepfather had an enlarged heart his whole life, lived to 97, and died due to an accident.
