That race, as much as the Belmont, marked Secretariat as truly something special. After the Belmont, she called me up and said that he was a wonder horse, but she still didn't like him. Her favorite was Seattle Slew and before that Nashua. She won't hear of any case for Swaps maybe being the better racehorse.

lol about swaps. they were both good. really good. swaps had an amazing year at four. records set everywhere. but nashua....hell, i wouldn't want to have to separate those two. east vs west came to life with those two.
as for their derby, that was a pure jocks race. run it ten more times, maybe nashua comes out on top those next ten. maybe...
