why in the view from half way down, butterscotch horseman wasnt in it but a character which i think is secreteriant there instead i started watching in 2019 and have rewatched it surely 60+ times but never understood why butterscotch horseman wasnt in the episode
Symbolically Bojack looked up to Secretariat far more than his own father. There’s probably a lot of layered symbolism in having Arnett voicing him in Butterscotch’s voice, as well (beyond the practical reason of not getting the original va). Also, as far as I remember, they labeled Secretariat as his father for the scene, further emphasizing Bojack’s desire to have Secretariat as a proxy for his father.
