Have always thought it was interesting that Man 'o War's birthday was March 29 and Secretariat's was March 30.  I sometimes wear an aquamarine to honor them and also pair it with a diamond for Ruffian.  And always think of the significance of April 29, of course, for our Barbaro's birthday.  That is the anniv. of the deaths of Terlingua and Dynaformer.  I am a very sentimental person.

Strange how life and death intertwine…..my birthstone is Aquamarine, so I always remember.:)

Since March is upon us, an early Happy Birthday to you.

Thank you!

 New book that explores Secretariat as a sire!!  Just reading what is contained in this book makes me believe he has been underrated as a sire and broodmare sire

Definitely as a sire, altho his legacy as a broodmare sire is remarked upon by many.  Any sire who gives us Risen Star and Ladies Secret is amazing to me.  So glad someone has written a book about all this.  Will read the article now.
