Frank,

Glad you posted this.
First thing I did after reading Silver's post was to pull up Secretariat's PPs.
Just a note, one of his 5 losses was a DQ in the Champagne.
Ran 12 times as a 3yo?? 5 times against elders with 2 huge wins on the sod.

So, I have a letter from Penny Tweedy hanging in my office. It is dated Feb. 23, and addressed to Dick Schaap (the late great sportswriter, editor, TV sports personality). The letter was in response to Schaap writing that Secretariat and Riva Ridge were the two most famous stablemates since Joseph and Mary.

Part of the letter reads,

"I understand that you are the Editor of Sport Magazine.....our appreciation of Secretariat being named 'Man of the Year'....I recently ran into O J Simpson and there was a little kidding about a horse being a 'man". When Secretariat and RR (that would be Riva Ridge) have all their mares in foal this summer, I'm going to sport a bumper sticker saying "Secretariat for Father of the Year"...."
Sincerely
Penny Tweedy

Arrogate certainly has established himself as a 'great'race horse. Still needs to complete his resume.
