I still get goosebumps seeing that Derby stretch run when they play it on HRTV, or Denman's call of the Big Cap.

this is exactly what i'm talking about! time and distance, helps put things in perspective. we all know silver charm was a good horse, a very good horse-altho he didn't probably get as much credit than from many as he does now! 11 years later....
who here misses silver charm? i do!
