Too thin an excuse for a horse of Secretariat's caliber. Please site precedent for turf works compromising dirt performance. Are you saying the horse was short?? Confused?? Not the connections with an obvious stake in preserving Secretariat's aura. I mean you. And, if so, what is your proof? It just doesn't pass my smell test and smacks of boosterism.
And before we continue to his other losses, do you still maintain that Secretariat could "easily" have been undefeated? If so, given 5 (five) defeats (from just 21 starts), we must have differing definitions of "easily."
