Secretariat -- the movie

[westcoastinvader]

There was a book on Ruffian that I read back in the late 1990's though that was outstandingly written.

I was based in South Carolina at the time, and was enlightened to her South Carolina connections that I had never known before.

The one written by Jane Schwartz was excellent.

Thanks.


Absolutely, that is the book.

Here's the book with some samples of the comfortable writing style:

Glad to hear it's well done. It's next on my reading list.

I didn't know that Outstandingly had picked up a pen in later life.

English teacher, eh?

Sheesh.


OK though, you are right.


Still a very nice book though.

Outstandingly was the winner (sort of) of the first Breeders Cup Juvenille Filly race back in 1984.

I was joking.

Heck, I liked the thought that I was being corrected by an English teacher better.


In 1984 I thought the Breeders Cup had about as much chance of catching on as a tradition as I thought the Super Bowl had when I decided as much as a 10 year old.

Of course in that year the "Super Bowl" was called "The World Championship Game."

Then Wham-O got involved and the inspiration was set for the transition to "Super Bowl."

I've made two Breeders Cups.

Never a Super Bowl.
