Gun control laws have always been about making sure a militia doesn't form to overthrow the duly elected secretariat. It has nothing to do with public safety.

If someone wants to go around killing a bunch of people with a gun, they will do that. Period. It happens up here in Canada and we have higher barriers to gun ownership than even what US gun control advocates are asking for. I can go out and buy a fully automatic AK-47 within minutes and I'm in sleepy old Victoria. I've met the people who have access, and they don't care if you're a whack job.

What we don't have is routine legal gun deaths from people who merely get pissed off. THAT is the US problem. Emotions, not insanity.

That was cool. American Pharoah made up 2 seconds on Secretariat in the last 1/4

You would think improvements in training , feeding and breeding of horses would have greatly improved today's race times. Secretariat must have been a really rare specimen.

I sent this to Secretariat. Told him the gauntlet has been thrown.

I want him to have Secretariat come out without the costume on...to see how the poor slobs inside have to perform.

"It's a free country"
But not free enough to say I don´t like the music you used? I think thats presumptuous!

While I do like the clip and the explanatory titles, my personal taste is that the music is terrible. I chose to post this version, because titles do a good job explaining the scenario to those who do not know what all the fuss is about. That is something the other one lacks.

Don´t get me wrong, I do appreciate all the work you put into this project and you are obviously very passionate about it. The fact that this got enough votes and positive feedback at VideoSift are an indication that this community also feels it is a valuable contribution to the sites content.

Since what gets published and what falls through is based on democratic voting principles, I am sure you understand that this also includes the freedom of expression of opinion in the process.

If you don´t want people using your clip (and reacting to it according to whatever their tastes might be) there is a simple solution: Just disable the embed function.

Again, I realize that without your work it would not be possible to show the clip on this platform, so: thank you!

(But I still don´t like the music)

Hello. I'm the one who made this video, along with my good friend cf1970. I find it awfully presumptious of you to go ahead and embed OUR video and then complain about the music that has been used to tell the story of the race, especially when cf has posted it unedited for those who simply prefer the original footage. If you don't like the video, it's a free country, so why watch it in the first place? Especially when what you want IS out there! My project is NOT simply the reposting of his races. Visit my channel to find out more; there are plenty of people who like it; the project currently has over 500 subscribers! If you'd like me to send you a good copy of the 73 Derby unedited just drop me a line at YouTube.

Ise sure this has been here b-4......man it never gets old watching this horse, he keeps gaining more and more ground...

nope, my bad, that's Belmont
