Geez I love that horse!!!!!!! I remember watching him live when I was 10 years old....that horse was so far ahead of the pack the last leg of the triple crown, it was amazing!! My dad was yelling, “Look at that horse”!!! He acted like he was jogging!!! Best horse ever...

I was there.
In the infield amongst the true devotees of horse racing.
Many Mint Julips to the Wind!

I remember the big to-do when the electronic time and the manual stop watch didn’t agree and that’s why the fools didn’t recognize the record. Now, after all of this time, they finally realized that there was no human-error factor in the electronic time.

Did they also vote to define the value of π to be "3"?

Ron Turcotte was interviewed during the Belmont Stakes a few days ago.

Okay, I read the story. Where was 1:53 ever mentioned as a time?

It says the official time was 1:55 and hand timers had it at 1:53 2/5. After review the official time was set at 1:54 2/5

I loved watching Secretariat back in the day but where did 1:53 come from?

Guess I don’t get it.
