Message: [QUOTE="Golden Husky, post: 2288320, member: 8090"] The Affirmed-Alydar matchup was terrific but check out the 1962 Travers--I'm sure there's a video on You Tube--to see Jaipur and Ridan engage in an even better head-to-head duel. Yes, had Penny Chenery not needed money to settle the estate of her late father, Secretariat would not have been syndicated and would have raced in the 1974 Arc de Triomphe, which would have been the grandest spectacle in the sport's history. Although purses have risen for elite horses, there is still more money to be made at stud. Thankfully, even though the horses head off after a couple of years on the track, we get to see most of Geno's stars for four years. [/QUOTE]
