I think that one reason why I and others are so fascinated by Christine Daae is her uncanny resemblance to her maternal and paternal great, great, greatgrandfather Secretariat. She is a magnificent filly possessing the radiant chestnut coat, three white socks (on the front left one-unlike BR), and conformation of Big Red.I had chills down my spine when I saw the beautiful appearance and poise of Christine at Gulfstream when she came into the paddock at Gulfstream Park on Jan, 15th, 2010. Oh my what a sight to behold. And then she won her maiden easily with little effort. I have only seen Big Red on tv and film and photos. But her uncanny resemblance to Secretariat was something else.God keep her safe and strong and we shall see what the future holds. I'm sure Big Red is laughing up in horse heaven.
