in another two furlongs. Then again, a longer race would be paced differently, and I've no idea how any of the horses would do on a muddy track.

booed him. Who does that? Who boos a horse that just made his way to the Triple Crown? I remember the experts all said he would never go the distance. He not only went the distance but he beat all the other horses by 31 lengths. Absolutely the best horse race ever.
