That’s it! Thanks for brightening up a cold snowy night.
Never again will we see the likes of him.
Wow... You’re right. That’s a far better picture than the one in the slides how.
Secretariat was an amazing horse. Maybe, or even probably, the best ever. It’s a bit imponderable. You can’t just take the straight times and compare great horses like Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Man O War, or any of the great horses. Horses are fear runners. They run to be in front of the herd, to be farthest from the predator chasing the herd. So... much depends on the the other horses. It’s like the old joke about the hiker putting on running shoes who tells his buddy “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just need to outrun you”.
Totally agree... that thread out of nowhere last week regarding Secretariat’s win at Belmont has put that photo in my mind ever since.
