Default Secretariat, Big Brown and Man O'War
Who wins?

Better yet, we'll have a series of three 1 1/4 mile races. One on dirt, one on grass, and one on synthetic.

What are the results!

I say Man O'War dirt, Big Brown on turf (he was undefeated on the stuff!), and Secretariat, just to be fair, on the synthetic.

Obviously Big Brown would win on any surface.

And Curlin, in turn, would beat them all. Followed closely by Smarty Jones and Afleet Alex.

The fact that I know you, should really preclude me from laughing when I read some of your posts -- but it doesn't. LOL.

Secretariat wins this by a length over Man O war with Big Brown with a big fat CNF (Could not finish) in the result charts.

I think you are sorely underestimating Rockport Harbor.

Reading some of this drivel reminds me of the night at Siro's when that guy invited himself to our table.

Umm, actually, to some extent I could see this as fun. Yes, it's always an exercise in futility to have hypothetical races between horses from different eras. Fun as it might be -- there was nothing, absolutely nothing, fun about that guy inviting himself to sit down with us. Plus, it was your table. Ironically, when he found that out, he wanted to sit there even more. LOL.

That's not fair. These are mere horses. She's a monster.

I'll be serious. Man O War and Big Brown will speed duel into 21 44 fractions, setting it up for Secretariat.
