I was in the infield to see Secretariat. It was a great experience—much of which I do not discuss even today. :)

Too bad Secretariat wasn't in that simulation. All the way in the back of the field...and then...BLAMM!

Can get very wild in the infield. Suspect you did not see much that day?

Secretariat won the Derby in its all time record and IMO would have destroyed most of this field and all things being equal by about three lengths for the closest not counting racing luck.

Due to a misspent youth, I have been fortunate to have seen most of the best horses race in the past 55 or so years, bet on a lot of them, and saw some that had the ability to be the best which did not make it due to misfortune. The one that comes to mind for me is Hoist the Flag. I truly believe he would have been the equal of secretariat except for the fractured leg.
