I had a hard time rooting for War Emblem, knowing he was owned by a Saudi (sorry, can't help it....) Secretariat and his little-old-lady owner stole my heart back in the 70's--have been a horse racing fan ever since.

And why are all of the Camels smiling after they heard the news?

If his brother had died, it would be just a passing Fahd....

"Secretariat and his little-old-lady owner stole my heart back in the 70's--have been a horse racing fan ever since." She called him "Big Red." Seems as though I remember that when he went to stud syndicate for $6M, that was the highest stud ever at the time. And what a horse.
I've only been to one Kentucky Derby in my life - and that was the one Secretariat won in 1973. Television never did that horse justice. His finishing kick would give ANYONE goosebumps.
I had all of the princely sum of $20 on him to win. He went off as such a fave that I barely got my twenty back.

Is this the guy who said he felt "...as popular as the President of the USA..." on National TV after the horse won the 1st or 2nd race,shortly after 9/11? If it is,I remember having a stomach full of rage when he said that.

Oil, money, horses, none of it matters much when it's your time, eh?
