Betty, you mean SECRETARIAT???!  Back with thee to ESPN!

Secretariat was an outcross and did not throw the son
to replace him that everyone expected him to.  He was
however a decent broodmare sire and is listed as a chef
now by Dr. Roman.

Hey, this is endurance related.  Magnum is a second
cousin twice-removed to Secretariat.  Sort of.
