Yesterday was the 40th anniversary for the passing of Chic Anderson, on March 24, 1979. Your 'calls' will always be synonymous with Secretariat's 1973 Triple Crown winning campaign. The faithful will always remember!
RIP Chic

Let`s make a comparison : In 1932 , Charles Mochet from France invented the recumbent bike.His bike was so performing that it was banned from official races because of a vote of International cyclists union and in this union were a lot of classic bike shop owners !! Protect your interests first...naturally . Here , it`s look alike : The boss of Secretariat was a woman....in a world of men . She concluded by induction that Secretariat would be grand while men by deduction failed...Finally , Secretariat has won everything ! It is enough to make a conclusion ? In any case the 46 years and 3 records of 1973 is added and speaks absolutly strongly . Who is going faster ? Secretariat running or Time passing ? Only Time can exceed Secretariat but it drains with him his records !!...wich brings us back to Secretariat who wins !!!

About Secretariat and the Time : Knowing that knowledge may not know is the highest degree of knowledge (1)...because knowledge is often based on interests BUT History sees everything because it works like the goddess of justice because she has a scale and blindfolded .

My ex and I purchased a thoroughbred from Darby Dan Farms named True Knight out of Chateaugay and Stealaway. He ran with Secretariat in several races back in the day. Secretariat is a once in a lifetime stud!

The vote of 1999 said that Man O`War is the better ? This erroneous vote will be corrected by the judge who is never wrong : History ...because history can not eliminate indisputable facts that cling in time while others have fallen.....The TIME that all fear as in this egyptian proverb : The Universe fears time but Time fears pyramids ( Records ).

Remembering one of the 'Team' today, Charlie Davis. He was born on this day in 1940. In 5 days it will be the 1st anniversary of Charlie's passing on February 7, 2018. We all miss you Charlie.
I'm also remembering the 'Storyteller' Bill Nack who's birthday is in 2 days. This dear friend to Secretariat and to all of his connections was born on February 4, 1941. Happy Birthday Bill. Losing you last year was a real shock! Like Charlie, we all really miss you Bill.

If for the races the most spectacular and long-lasting times do not make any difference , so , what are we basing ourselves on ? On the number of patatoes that a horse can pound with his hooves in a restaurant ?
I live near Joliette ( The native`s town of Lucien Laurin ) and I know that 3 + 3 = 6...I learned it at school like everybody .
I escaped from the asylum but with this truth you can not force me to go back !!

Remembering Derby Champion Barbaro who passed away 12 years ago today in 2007! Sadly we never had the opportunity to witness the full potential of your greatness. It would have been glorious!
Revel in the eternal peace and tranquility of running wild and free.

Tim Dean....
So sad to hear belatedly about the passing of Secretariat's Fire. I have marked the date on last year's Living Legends calendar.
I wish you would share the photo you described with the site so that it may be posted here if possible
The light she emanated was her way of saying goodbye to all and telling her father that she was coming to meet him...
