Very true! Holy Bull was a beast.
Native Dancer was also known as "The Grey Ghost". A great nickname for a great racehorse.
What a great list. I love reading about the great racing heroes of the past. Dancer' and "The Bid" are certainly deserving. Are there any horses missing from this list that you feel are deserving?
I was among many who were both happy and proud of Hansen's win in the Gotham. I am so proud of him and how he bounced back. From this point forward, it's on to the Wood Memorial. GO HANSEN!
I'm so excited to get in touch with other collectors of racing memorabilia....I have an original Secretariat stamp, and the last program from Bay Meadows last day of racing. Meager in comparison to others, but it is a good start.
How can you not like a horse with such a great name, and a ton of heart as well. Can't wait to see him run again.
