Yes, I remember that. And I have read that some people thought wonderous things about Sec after his first start. But they were still in the minority. I mean the majority of people would have said it was too early to compare him to the all-time greats. I don't think it's crazy after one or two starts, even less so after four or five, to say u think a horse has all-time talents. Either it's there or it's not. It doesn't take 20 starts to develop it.
