Derby Day!

Sometimes (but not often) it's nice to be old enough to remember things when they really happened. The 70s were an awesome decade for the Kentucky Derby with 3 Triple Crown winners - Secretariat, Seattle Slew, and Affirmed. Riva Ridge won the Derby (and the Belmont) in 1972 for Meadow Stable, but what no one knew at the time was that this team had an even better horse in training - Secretariat, possibly the greatest Thoroughbred of all time. I can hardly wait for Disney's version of this wonderful story later this year!
