Historian Ed Bowen on ATR (9:30a) re: record-keeping, modern era, et al..

maybe we can enjoy the rapid redux story and not have to consult historians that talk about horses that ran in the 1800's and early 1900's. obviously nobody in his right mind is comparing him to a citation but it's a cute story in a time in racing where cute stories are enjoyable.
problem here is the same people that stick up for scum like dutrow are putting down rapid redux's accomplishments.
seems to me that this whole thing is the same type of thing as the whole tebow story. no one in their right mind is comparing him to a brady but once again it's a cute story in a sport filled with bad people like big ben.
