Your favorite thoroughbred racehorse, please. Secretariat? Phar Lap? Hoof Hearted?

@Carla

Is she here?

@RenFur wouldnt that be a hoot?
1964...that would have made her around nine when i rode her. About right, really.

@RenFur nope...she was a bay...

@Piper

I believe your Seabiscuit beat a Triple Crown winner in a match race - - he made a rear admiral out of War Admiral.

@RenFur He did.

That is hilarious!! 🤣🤣 I catch what you're saying now!! I'm cracking up!!

@SW-User

He was a real horse, too. How the name ever got certified I don't know.

@RenFur I know!! That announcer and the name together just don't fit.....but, they make for good joke reels.....even though Hoof Hearted was a champion!! 🤭

@eli1601

Plus too many boxers fought way too long - Jerry Quarry for one.

@RenFur Ali fought too long, as well. The other thing was you had a WBA champion a WBC champion etc. And the personalities were gone.

When I first became aware of boxing, Sonny Liston had just destroyed Floyd Patterson for the second time and was supposed to do the same to Cassius Clay. I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my dad listening to the Clay- Liston fight. It wasn't on TV.

When Ali and Joe Frazier fought the first time in 1971 I paid $16 to watch on closed circuit TV at the New Haven Arena. It is still the most electricity I have experienced at or watching a sporting event. Unforgettable.

@eli1601

Excellent remembrances, Eli. I remember Johansson vs Patterson's 3 fights before that. I saw one of those (forget which one) on a friend's 17" black&white TV broadcast on cable (which was a big deal back then).
