What heart he has!<br/><br/>LOL I make connections to Secretariat whenever possible. Had I realized earlier that Red Giant was related, I would've bet on him in the Virginia Derby and made gobs (well, some anyway) of money! Hard Spun was probably my favorite horse overall for 2007. What heart he has!

Not sure that I've ever seen horse race with more heart than Hard Spun, especially after watching him act like a nut in the paddock. Thanks for checking in with selections. <br/><br/>Linda: nice historical connection. Thanks for making it.<br/><br/>Trip: Right back at you!

I was screaming my head off watching it. And personally exciting that a great-granddaughter of Secretariat won the Belmont 34 years to the day that he claimed the race as his own.<br/><br/>(Although you know I think it should've been Genuine Risk in 1980 to be the first filly in all those years! LOL) Definitely Rags in the Belmont. I was screaming my head off watching it.
