Secretariat's win by 31 lengths at the Belmont was nothing short of astounding back in 1973. Enjoying the beauty and power of a horse is always fun. California Chrome ran a great race and it was a fun 2 minutes.
Cheers.

It proves that you're never too old to be a winner.

CC's supposed lack of worth at the onset is cause for celebration of the American dream affording opportunity being the catalyst for success.

... and Secretariat... and Seabiscuit... and everyone loves a winner, especially an underdog.... But Ayn Rand used betting on animal races as a symptom of personal and cultural degradation. What is not to like about horses? My maternal grandparents were Hungarian, which has as many words for "horse" as Eskimos have for "snow." So, yes, good horseflesh is to be admired... when it carriers a warrior, maybe... Otherwise, the best use of horsepower is measuring engine torque. Truth be told, the Kentucky Derby, the Preakniss, and the Belmont Stakes are primitive holdovers from an unproductive agrarian ruling class that idled away its time because it lived on the efforts of serfs and slaves.
