Horse racing is a sport that is so rich, so full of history, and blessed with so many great stories throughout that history that many of the more impassioned fans of the sport have taken to using their computers and their editing programs on those computers to create fantastic short-length videos that are available to be viewed online in places like YouTube, Google video, and so on. What this site specializes in is collecting the best of these kinds of videos in one place so that a passionate fan won't have to spend too much time looking for them. They can watch the great Secretariat in his 1973 run to the Triple Crown, they can watch Street Sense emerge victorious in the 2007 Kentucky Derby, or they can watch Seattle Slew fight with Exceller through the stretch of the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup.
