Or any other race horse or race, which is too bad.

I was at a polling station supporting a local candidate on Tuesday when one of the guys supporting the opposition asked his cohorts if they had seen the 60 minutes bit on this "amazing horse, can't remember the name". I crossed party lines to set him straight that even a win in the Classic would not make her "better than Secretariat".

Anyway, a lot of people do watch 60 minutes.

It's nice for regular people to care about things we care about, but those people aren't likely to make a meaningful difference to the sport.
Probably true, but before you become a bettor, you have to at least be aware of the sport.

I guess you answered there question with "If you want to see real horses watch Tam Lin every 3 days at Meydan"
