Today when you go to Google's portal there's a link in the verbiage below the search window that leads you to Google's annual national contest for school age children to submitt their idea of the best "google doodle" on this year's theme of: If you could travel for time where would you go and a why?
ALL the google doodles are quite good and the explanations from these young artists are worth reading and thinking about.
However, one of the young finalists has focused on the accomplishments of SECRETARIAT and what importance his amazing racing success can take on in the mind(s) of those who have witnessed it. The use of SECRETARIAT's image for the 'Google' logo and the artist's reason for choosing to travel to that moment in time as we're on the cusp of the 2012 Derby/Triple Crown race series caught my eye and heart.
