Secretariat in todays media is like a racing icon. Seattle Slew is not as known as Secretariat, so it should not be too shocking that the 2 horses got mix up lol.
Now we need to take a page from the War Admiral and Seabiscuit page and have the Old Champ "War Admiral" and the new champ, Seabiscuit have a 1 on 1 race and sell out a crowd lol.
Yes American Pharaoh vs Justify lol. Ok it wont happen. But that's what happen in the 1940's. War Admiral was last years news story and Seabiscuit was the new kid on the block, but both with amazing stories, and they had there 1 on 1 race that sold out. It was not really a official race, since it was only 2 horses. But there was public demand for it. Old triple champ vs new Champ.
Wonder if we see something like that ever again?
