Neat story in our paper today about one of this year's HOF inductees, Planet, and his local connection.
ASHLAND, Va. --
The great Secretariat was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974, a year after his remarkable Triple Crown run.
Secretariat's Hanover County neighbor, Planet, another historically significant horse, has had to wait a little longer for the same honor.
How much longer? Well, servants at the old Bullfield plantation used to hide Planet in the woods whenever Union soldiers came around.

What a wonderful story! Too bad the horse, and its' history got lost all these years. So glad The Meadows was written, so this horse and his story could come to light!

Actually it does still run LOL. We know a couple here in Richmond that go to Saratoga every year and take the train, not sure where they end up in NY though. Albany?
It really is amazing Planet wasn't spirited off by either side.
