This was a good horse. Not one of the best, but a good horse none the less.

  • buckpasser · Alot of horses in that era had hopping problems as they used fowlers mixture which had heroin in it. What alot people don't realize is that heroin was a common ingredient in some over the counter Meds for people. My mother remembers a thing called Lady Pinkums that was sold as a sleep aid that had heroin in it. Coca cola was regularly tested for cocaine and supposedly still is · 73 days ago ·

A horse who is deprived of his fame. He was very good, and no other horse could have stayed better with Man O' War that day than Secretariat of Man O' War himself.

Sir Barton is sadly one of the most underated horses in the history of racing.People forgot that he won four races including the triple crown in a matter of 32 days and set many records.Sir Barton set some of these records while giving unreasonable amounts of weight away to horses like exterminator who he proceeded to crush anyway.Sadly Sir Barton had hoof problems throughout his career or he would have been even greater.Finially people keep pointing to his match race with Man O War in which he was defeated.People dont understand that Sir Barton should'nt have even raced that day as his hoofs were in extremely bad shape and was being run on a surface not to his liking.On top of this he was asked to gve away weight to Man O wAR.In a fair race over 10 furlongs with fair weights and Sir Bart 100% Sir Barton would have likely beaten Man O War.Sir Barton is better than Man O wAR he beat Exterminator and Billy Kelly who did Man O War beat?
