The two races ... the Million and the Secretariat ... were about as different as races can be.

The Tin Man just loped along for 6f ... then sprinted the last half in :46 flat.

Showing Up ran a more even pace throughout ... and came home in :49.1.

Both races ... in their own way ... were very impressive ... as the horses did exactly what their jockeys wanted them to.

There are almost as many ways to win a race ... as there are to lose ... and these two fine performances really demonstrated that.
