In the coffin! Yes, this guy has a treasure of one-liners. Thrilling to listen to. So pleased he’s on the Trump team.
Good analysis, Gracious. And a very good man to have.
“He is moving like a tremendous machine! Secretariat by twelve, Secretariat by fourteen lengths on the turn! Sham is dropping back....”
Poor Sham. A world record horse himself, but he ran into once a century greatness...
Perhaps the greatest athletic performance of the 20th century.
We have ALWAYS known from the beginning Trump would surround himself with the best!!! Those who were with him out f the starting gate KNEW this!!! HELLARY is TOAST!!!!
“Perhaps the greatest athletic performance of the 20th century.”
I agree. I still get chills watching that race. It doesn’t get old.

What I can’t remember anymore is if I watched the CBS broadcast of the race live, although I suspect I did because of the buildup to the potential Triple Crown.
In the Derby Secretariat ran each successive quarter mile faster than the one before it, setting the record that still stands. And poor old Sham likely holds the second fastest time.
I do remember watching it on TV, I was 16...I remember a line from the announcer near the end when Ron Turcotte turned and looked back, and it was “Sham is tiring, looks like they’ll catch him today”. I’ve never heard that line in the movie, or the clips I’ve seen since. Sham was burned up early trying to stay with Secretariat and he couldn’t go the last 3/8 at all. He would likely have showed a bit better had he not tried to stay close when the pace was other-worldly.
Fantastic, thank you...the fastest 1 1/2 miles ever run by a horse...been the world record at the distance for 44 years and counting.
He should Pick Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach as VP and then demote both of them to the same level.
