It’s not about time here, it’s about context. Secretariat ran against Sham and a handful of non-challengers, and Sham burned out trying to match Secretariat’s pace. It’s easy to think that Secretariat’s huge win was just an illusion of poor competition.

And then you see that the pack that finished 31 lengths behind…

As a South Carolinian living in Columbia, I support your cause and will come and fight beside you. We sit in a freaking bowl here. I swear some days it is so hot and humid, I want to cry.

humidity

“lol.”

Ceiling fans are for the porch.

I live in Georgia. Get the fuck away from me with your “ceiling fans”.

For people living in NYC or northward, agreed.

you’re not going to watch the video? I’m going to file a Title IX complaint against you! For Feminism!
