Some of you who have seen my YouTube channel or read my previous posts may have noticed something that might seem strange at first: the fact that when I actually write the name of the 1973 Triple Crown Champion, I write it in capital letters. To accurately tell this story, I have to take you back to the year 1989, specifically October 4th.
