First stop

Churchill Downs. Great racetrack (no racing today) but we took the tour. So interesting. Secretariat, a Triple Crown winner, was found to have had a 21 pound heart; a typical racehorse's heart weighs 7. As a result he could run the second stretch faster than all the other horses. Now buyers tour the country with an ultrasound, scanning potential racers for enlarged hearts.
