That was a very entertaining read!. Some of the major racing publications could use your articles...

Good Stuff Doug.

I was just a kid in 1979 so I don't remember, but the trials of Ronnie Franklin seem very interesting. I couldn't find any, but does anyone know if there were any books written about Franklin's ordeals? I'm guessing the chapters about that TC campaign would be a pretty good read.

Thanks. I saw that a while ago and didn't purchase it. I just have never really gotten into the lore of Spectaular Bid (don't know why). But the more I hear and read about him, makes me think that I eventually pick it up.

Check it out, a great read...Did you know that The Bid ran 7 in 120 4/5 as a two year old, and later that year he won 3 grade 1 races ant 3 different tracks in a 3 week period, setting a track record for 1 1/16 in that 3 week span, that still stands today.
