This was a travesty .....Secretariat never had to perform after staying out partying all night as did the Mick!

As an aside, I heard a great 1 1/2 hour interview of WFAN; Mike Francessa with Jane Levy whose new Mickey Mantle book, "The Last Boy," came out this week. She's a sportswriter who wrote a book on Kofax a few years back.
