The only horse name they knew around here is Secretariat and that's it. That's why this board was made, so people like me who enjoy the sport can get together and talk.
The above is your post Beth. Everyone knows Secretariat.
Albiet it is more than 30 years later and your people have no knowledge of horse racing. I think that proves what I am trying to get across to you.
That is the charismatic charm and appeal Secretariat had and frankly 30 years hence people will ask "Who is Barbaro."
Barbaro is not another Secretariat and it DISGUSTS me to hear that allusion made.
You can not be a good judge of horses if you even think Barbaro is in a class with the wonderful Secretariat. STOP those allusions.
