Larry,
Thanks for the insight into the horse and the race. As I noted on these boards elsewhere, I was able to see Secretariat in person while he stood at stud at Claiborne Farms. I think at the time Nijinsky was commanding the higher stud fees given the success of the horses he sired. We were visiting good friends of the family(I was a youngster at the time) who were stationed at Lexington Army Depot. They knew someone at the farm, called over, and away we went. I had no idea at the time who Secretariat was relative to other horses but caught on later.
