So, Disney tells Time to do a feature story on Secretariat 37 years later, just a few weeks before the movie?

Nah.

Yep. I obviously did not read your post closely enough.

In my defense, however, your posts are usually not worth reading, which explains why I was so careless in skimming the title of your thread.

And yet you felt the need to not only click on it but also reply? Me thinks the Indian Charlie doth protest too much.

In all seriousness, it's an entertaining read; I think you'd enjoy it. The last page, when they comment on the breeding industry causing early retirement of racing's stars in particular. The more things change...
