ZephyrHawk, Do you have horses?
I have owned in the past, mostly Arabians. However, I don't right now. No time or money. My dad still has horses, though.
I'm really excited about this as well. I "met" Secretariat at Claiborne Farm years ago, when he was at stud there.
Lucky dog. By the time I knew he existed he had passed.
Yes, once again, I was born in 1979, so I completely missed the last Triple Crown winner. I have been waiting ever since.
I got seriously excited when I saw a photo in my most recent issue of
The Blood Horse which looked just like a stock photo from the 1973 Derby, but turned out to be a photograph taken during early filming! I hope they do everything accurately (warts and all). I remember going to see Seabiscuit and thinking "Yeah, okay, this is a good movie...now they should make one about a
really good horse." I have basically worn my copy of
Secretariat: The Making of a Champion, which the movie is to be based on, to pieces.
