Did You Know? - The fastest running of the Kentucky Derby? Yeah, you probably know this one, even if you don't realize it. It was the famous Secretariat, who won the Derby in 1973 with a record time of 1:59:24 seconds. That record has now stood for 40 years. And the craziest thing about it is that Secretariat actually got faster as the race went on, which almost never happens.

...And The Band Gets A Break
Song: The Ol' Grey Mare
Some authors have said that the song originated based upon the extraordinary performance of the horse Lady Suffolk, the first horse recorded as trotting a mile in less than two and a half minutes. It occurred on 4 July 1843 at the Beacon Course racetrack in Hoboken, New Jersey, when she was more than ten years old.
One author attributed the song to Stephen Foster, although the composer is usually listed as unknown. The archival evidence, however, is that the song originated a few decades later in the nineteenth century as a campaign ditty, composed as an epithet of Baltimore mayor Ferdinand Latrobe by Democratic Party (United States) political operative and appointee Thomas Francis McNulty. The book The Gallant Gray Trotter featured Lady Suffolk.
Lyrics
The old gray mare, she kicked on the whiffletree,
Kicked on the whiffletree, kicked on the whiffletree,
The old gray mare, she kicked on the whiffletree,
Many long years ago.
Many long years ago, many long years ago,
The old gray mare, she kicked on the whiffletree,
Many long years ago.
The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Ain't what she used to be, ain't what she used to be,
The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Many long years ago.
Many long years ago, many long years ago,
The old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be,
Many long years ago.
