Secretariat pulled ahead of Citation in the final stretch of the Kentucky Derby Saturday -- and if you're wondering what year it is ... don't worry, it's still 2020.
Would there be any doubt that Big Red would take this virtual tournament of champions? Even if you don’t follow horse racing or remember 1973′s Triple Crown, 1972′s Horse of the Year (he won it as a 2 year old!) is part of both sports and pop culture, What was so amazing about him was his cardiovascular system: His heart weighed ~22 lbs and was roughly 1/3 larger than the average Thoroughbred’s heart which weighs ~8.5 lbs. His heart was efficient as well as powerful and was coupled by powerful lungs. He set speed records for all three of the Triple Crown Races
Due to COVID19, the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby, always run on the first Saturday in May has been postponed and will be run instead on September 5, 2020.
