People outside of racing have heard of Secretariat. Ask them about Dr. Fager and they will ask you if you are talking about your dentist.

you'd have more of a chance of most people guessing the secretariat is part of the un than you would of them guessing about a horse who retired over 30 years ago.

i wonder if football or baseball fans give a rats behind about what 'casual observers' feel about their sport....somehow i don't. of course, i don't care much what non-racing fans have to say about racing either. there aren't many fans out there, i'd imagine that's why most of us come here! no one else to talk to about it.

That is the total truth with me. Some people don't even know who Secretariat is! Of course, I don't live in a racing state. I live in NC...the non-racing capitol of the world. We can't even bet here!

I'm glad that I found the ESPN board which led me here. I can talk about horse racing all day long now

Bernardini's 10-panel record of 1:57 flat in the 2006 Breeders' Cup Classic was the most impressive to me

Forget 1:57 flat. He's going to run it in 156:4

LOL...
