MS author Dr. BEN K. GREEN sitting with cowboy JOHN JUSTIN, zoom in to Dr. Ben K. Green. MS copy of "A Thousand Miles of Mustangin" by Dr. Green. CUs Ben K. Green & John Justin. MS/CU Dr. Ben K. Green talking: "Of course, a great thoroughbred horse and we d begun to need a great one b/c we had so many cripples-- done-up, boosted-up & doped-up horses in the last 10-15 years, people were getting kind of sick of the way the trend was. We hadn t had a triple crown winner in so many years people had forgotten what one was. But I saw Secretariat as a yearling & he was an extremely sound, well-balanced colt w/ a lot of bone. His legs were sufficient & he had a good wide foreleg. He had a tendon that wasn t tied under & they weren t going to go bad. I was glad to see him go into training. And Secretariat will just keep on being a great horse. I hope he reproduces his greatness into his offspring. That s the first thing that ll hit an old horseman."
