That horse was amazing.The move on the turn in the preakness and the 31 length win at the belmont incredible.
I alway`s heard how great he was, but seeing the races really makes you appreciate how good he was.
Can`t wait for saturday afternoon!
GO SMARTY GO!

excellent show..........really gets to the heart of how special this "peoples" horse was.........came along at the perfect time for a country in need of a hero.............excellent ,rarely seen 2yo footage from Saratoga.(Sanford, Hopeful Stakes) loved the part where the guy, talkin about how Big Red carried himself at his own pace, says the horse stopped one day and watched a plane fly overhead...said he'd never seen a horse do that before..............smart, fast and had an oversized (literally) heart...........a true freak of nature !!!

I was interrupted at the end of the show . Did the doctor, who did the autopsy say his heart was actually bigger than a normal horse?

 

yes his heart was actually about twice the normal size
