Message: [QUOTE="Golden Husky, post: 2747924, member: 8090"] Yes. I was there; my first year covering the Triple Crown. A few hours after the event, after everyone had filed, Charles Hatton of [I]Daily Racing Form [/I]turned to me and asked, "You understand what you just witnessed, kid?" I assured Hatton that I understood but he wasn't buying it. "No you don't," he insisted. "But 30 or 40 years from now, when you've never seen a horse as great as Secretariat, you'll understand." He was right and now I do. I have a framed photograph of myself with Secretariat hanging in my home. My children will inherit it and while I hope they'll have some appreciation for their dad, I doubt--like me 45 years ago--they'll be able to understand the true greatness of Secretariat. [/QUOTE]
