Guys, sooner or later, you'll learn to ignore "Secretariat." He just hates the horse so much, it clouds his judgment..
I've gotten into this argument way too many times, and everyone who knew me on the ESPN board knows my stand, but all I'll say is this..
G1 winner from 6.5-10 furlongs..
Won the Vosburgh and nearly won the King's Bishop with one of the most devastating kicks you will ever see (peep his N1X win too)..
THEN won the BCC, America's most prestigious race, WIRE-TO-WIRE..
Do you have any idea how unheard of that is? For a former stone-cold closer with an insane turn of foot to win America's biggest race on the lead?
Not to mention he won in 1:59 with hardly any urging, then ended Forest Danger's career in the Met Mile, which he also won all by himself..
The horse did whatever he wanted, when he wanted, and was simply unstoppable.
If you can honestly watch the Vosburgh, King's Bishop, BCC, Woodward, Met Mile, etc. and tell me this horse wasn't something special, you're either too filled with hatred - for an ANIMAL, no less - or you have no idea what a great racehorse looks like..
Like I said, sooner or later, you guys will learn to ignore blocky..
