In horse racing, history is what links us to the future. How can we measure how great Curlin was without comparison to Man O' War and Secretariat? So in that vein, I hated the change -- which was done to "appeal to a larger audience." Has there ever been a change in media that was NOT done for that reason?<br /><br />Anyway, now that it has been used for a few years, I actually like it better. "Sidewalks of New York" was harder to sing, and "New York, New York" has a blue-collar scrambling-up feel to it. So I'm all for the change -- but they'd better not mess with "My Old Kentucky Home!"Sandra Warrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625976851717008802.post-65337361817905788872009-06-09T11:17:10.678-05:002009-06-09T11:17:10.678-05:00Ted, Thanks for the acknowledgement, the 1-2 finis...Ted, Thanks for the acknowledgement, the 1-2 finish in the Brooks Fields was quite exciting for the group to say the least. I think July 4th is next for both horses.<br /><br />Hope to see Fizzy back in form on firm course soon.Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-625976851717008802.post-28083379833623437942009-06-08T08:18:51.820-05:002009-06-08T08:18:51.820-05:00Fizzy will come good under better track conditions...Fizzy will come good under better track conditions next time.
