this is how you know a horse is a great one. you don't have to argue, discuss, or convince.
the only debate is where in the top five all time this horse should be residing. he and secretariat, citation and the immortal, original big red are the top four. there's a reason why, 90 years after he retired, people still mention man o war.
i'm just lucky that i got to see a horse the likes of which we may never see again. the 70's was a time of riches for this sport.
