I agree you know who I think might be a forgotten horse one day? Point Given.
If he had won the Derby Immortality would have awaited him but that one lost race will haunt him. People tend to look over a horse who wins only the 2nd two legs of the triple crown.
I think Musket Man is a great horse. He's all heart!!! Not a great pedigree. He wins based on his determination and courage. He should be much more popular. But alas he isn't and sadly this great horse is overshadowed by his contemporaries.
He should be a star in my opinion. Caracortado has more devoted fans than Musket Man and Musket Man is a great story. Placing in both the Derby and Preakness!!! What a shame he is not more loved.
What about Bimelech??? Steve Byck mentioned him on his show the other day. He really deserved to win the Triple Crown!!!
