Thanks for this post. I have never watched that victory by secretariat and it is certainly worth watching. Anyone or anything that can be that much better than the best in their chosen pursuit is worth seeing. M
As for the whipping, wasoxygen -didn't they announce at the end of that video that secretariat was "hand" and not "whip" trained? As for the riding crop, I always thought of it as an extension of the hand, merely elongating the reach. Is that wrong?
