No, sorry, it doesn’t.

As a teenager I had a job walking horses at Belmont Racetrack here in New York during the 70s and, for a short time, at the old Hialeah track in Florida. I worked for several Hall of Fame trainers and stables, including trainer JP Conway (trainer of ‘Twice Worthy’) and PG Johnson, a NY trainer who was always near the top of the trainer standings.

I also worked for the prestigious Ogden Phipps stable, under then trainer John Russell. The last horse I walked was for the Phipps stable. The horse happened to have been a full brother to the great Secretariat. But then Secretariat had over a hundred brothers and sisters! the offspring of the legendary Bold Ruler.

Thanks for your time and memory check - never can tell about one of those “six degrees” things. Good stories, too!
