That was pretty sweet.

Is there a published time for the race yet? Just want to compare this one to 1973.

EDIT: Found it. 2:26 and 3. I think that that was slower than the track record Big Red beat in 1973.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.

Yeah, Secretariat did it in 2:24 flat, a factoid I was forced to learn for some reason when I was a kid*. Although I heard American Pharaoh's jockey was under-inflated so he'll be suspended for a few races. Gets to keep the Triple Crown, though.

*that reason was my family raised horses. Appaloosas, so you'd never catch one in a Thoroughbred race because they have strict requirements, and Appies are generally slower.

Thank goodness a horse won the triple crown...the gap between winners was getting too long and all the disappointments were well dissapointing :)
