Secretariat 1973 Preakness Run - from last to first

"Turcotte didnâ€™t like the slow early pace set by Ecole Etage.
So, with the subtlest of signalsâ€”he compared it to straightening a shirt collarâ€”he asked the powerhouse beneath him to go. And once Secretariat launched, it was like watching a rocket take flight.

No horse, not even the game Sham, could match that burst of brilliance."

Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
