I grew up thinking all time greats were produced one or two a year!! I'm quite positive I'll never, ever see anything like the Bid in 1980 again. Because reality is if we ever do get anything like him, they won't run as much as he did.

It doesn't get much better from 1973 to 1980.....unfortunately, I really wasn't into playing the horses until '86, but remember those horses well.
