Nice story. It was still an epic day. If AP runs again the fans will come again. If he doesn't the real fans will understand.

Remember the great Secretariat lost TWICE after he won the Triple Crown AND the race just before. Is his legacy tarnished? The same for Seattle Slew who got beat post TC in the Swaps. I'm glad Frosted went after him. There are no walkovers in Sports. When there are is when we all quit watching.

I'm sure your Son will never forget where he was sitting the day a Triple Crown winner got beat. As a young handicapper it was the best lesson and experience you will have ever given him. The best horse can sometimes lose...
