did any of you see the Preakness today? Big Brown is such a beautiful horse and he had the race by at least 5 lengths. He has a great jockey and trainer and lots of go inside of his heart. He is one truly magnificent bundle of muscle and heart.
I hope he wins the Belmont..... boy wouldn't that be a pip. He just absolutely walked away from the crowd today. He sure has the stamina and moves. He has it all inside him. What a great horse!! I was crying when he started to go for it, and he just blew it away from there. I was standing and cheering and my dogs thought that I was crazy. What a great 2 minutes.
I watched him in the K Derby and today, and can't wait to see him win it all.
GO BIG BROWN!!!!! WIN IT ALL!!!!

Hey Claudia
Do you remember this from back in 1973? This was the last race for a great horse.

All he needed was a hat that he could have tipped to the others just before he left the entire field in the dust. I had a thought that maybe Big Brown was winning this one for Eight Belles.
4-dollar gas? Stay home, kick back, and read a great book by F. E. Mazur.

Frank, ME TOO!!!
Dennis,
I truly do remember the races that Secretariat was in, have seen many clips and followed him and his career since his first race. Seattle Slough was also a great horse. I have followed horse racing since I was very young. Love the sport and love to see those horses running for the wind, like they are wont to do, whenever they can. I watch the wild Mustangs here and love them just as equally. We are a blessed state, Nevada, in that we have a few thousand wild Mustangs out in the mountains and valleys around here. They, along with many of the other wild animals located here, are the most beautiful things on earth. I cherish them all.

I first got interested in horse racing when Native Dancer was winning everything in sight. When I was 14 years old, I ran a riding stable (Rent a horse for $1.00 an hr.) for a couple of local farmers and we had 15 animals at any given time. I learned the horse business from the bottom up (In addition to being the "manager," I was also the stable boy.) Back in those days, I felt I could ride anything with four legs. My biggest thrill was winning the "Indian Trails Riding Club" saddle race at the county fair.
I read somewhere that Secretariat had an unusual gait. He put his hoofs down in a different order than other horses. The only other horse in which that gait was documented was Sea Biscuit.
Frank... 30mph winds this morning. The lake is angry.
