The heart of the horse today weigh in today at approximately ~ 8 lbs, Secretariat’’s was 22 lbs,
A ratio of 11/4 or 2.75 times that of an ordinary horse. Small wonder.

The 2nd largest was that of Sham (Secretariat's Triple Crown rival) and weighing it at 18 pounds.

( A few weeks before the Derby, Sham beat Secretariat at the Wood Memorial )

Can does not mean do, but one mind did, and I wonder who.

What glows there? The answer depends: sea or sky? In the sea, the unusual blue glow is bioluminescence. Specifically, the glimmer arises from Noctiluca scintillans, single-celled plankton stimulated by the lapping waves. The plankton use their glow to startle and illuminate predators. This mid-February display on an island in the Maldives was so intense that the astrophotographer described it as a turquoise wonderland. In the sky, by contrast, are the more familiar glows of stars and nebulas. The white band rising from the artificially-illuminated green plants is created by billions of stars in the central disk of our Milky Way Galaxy. Also visible in the sky is the star cluster Omega Centauri, toward the left, and the famous Southern Cross asterism in the center. Red-glowing nebulas include the bright Carina Nebula, just right of center, and the expansive Gum Nebula on the upper right.
