Or maybe 1932 for a chance to meet a newborn colt later to be called King who would shape the modern Quarter Horse breed.For many fans of Thoroughbred racing, the answer is easy. They'd set the dial to 1973 and whisk back in time to experience, either again or for the first time, Secretariat's Triple Crown season.
