re: #297 albusteve

He didn’t race as a four-year-old. He got beat twice in his last starts on dirt, against older horses.

I spent every available Saturday and Sunday at the track from the age of eight, until I left for college. My father was a semi-professional gambler.

If you have a beef with me, air it out. Most racing people will say the same damn thing about Secretariat as I just did. With the exception of the Belmont, the Triple Crown races are hype.

Horses don’t round into form until the fall of their third year, generally.

Seabiscuit was a great horse. Secretariat didn’t hang around long enough to deserve the title.

As I said, if you have a beef with me, air it out.

I’m no expert handicapper. But I saw the great ones race. Horses like Forego and Dr. Fager.
