There have been a lot of good posts today and I don't mean to push some down at the benefit of another string.
Chuckles all you needed to see was Smartys dad Elusive Quality ship down from Payson Park to Gulfstream Park for trainer Billy Mott and run 7 furlongs in the Gulfstream Park Hdcp. The Track Record may still stand and I swear to-you-know-who Pat Day never moved a muscle the entire trip, that was run in about 1:20 flat. He was a freak, not very sound, but when right A FREAK.
The reason I brought this string back up was that I felt that the Post by Mall was too damn good to go away.
I got chills down my spine on Belmont Day when I heard track announcer Chick Hearn bark: " Secretariat is moving like a tremendous machine."
Mall I have read your post three times now and I got those same chills each and every time.
Truely a Great Post from a Great Horse Racing Fan.
