It doesn't take a whole lot of digging around to discover the absolute passion that people feel over which horse was the best of all-time. Was it Man o'War, or was it SECRETARIAT? We're gonna get into that. There will be plenty of time, but before we do I wanted to announce to you that on Belmont Day, 2008, we are going to release a fantasy race, a race that people on both sides of this issue have run in their minds thousands of times: A match race with Man o'War in one corner and SECRETARIAT in the other. The great thing about this race is that you will have a say in it's outcome. We are asking you to provide us your input. Where should the race be run? Distance? Starting gate? Walk up? 126 lbs each? Share with us your positions. Quite obviously both horses were great, but who was better? Don't just ramble on appealing to emotion, make your cases using logic and reason. We very much want to hear from you on this issue. If you don't believe just how venomous this debate really is, just sift through the old comments for this video and you'll see what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=QsvXfnPeHw8
That ought to get you started. Let the debate rage on!!!
