A question with no answer. Just opinions.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could have a time machine that could get all of those legendary horses into the same starting gate and see how they do. I can't think of any other way to settle the argument, but it does make for lots of discussion. As does whether Sandy Koufax was a better pitcher than Walter Johnson.

Sea Biscuit wasn't the best, but his story sure made a great movie. Laura Hillenbrand is a great writer. Haven't seen any books by her recently. I think she has some kind of problem. Agoraphobia maybe? I think I read that some time back.
