That helps a lot for understanding the video where Schmidt breaks into a new rack kissing the "odd ball" into a pocket.

That video is jaw dropping. 31 lengths in front of other world class race horses. A confirmed genetic wonder (from autopsy) with a physically monstrous heart that was feeding that freakish muscular form.

I think it will stand long time.

Now what did Schmidt have that allowed this record to happen? He's just a dude like Secretariat was just a horse.
