And a super horse was born

Imagine being Sham. You Place in both the Derby and the Preakness, and if Secretariat isn't setting a blistering Belmont pace, you probably win that one too. Sham was one of the great horses in history, potentially a Triple Crown Winner, and he's not even an afterthought.

The dumbass owners and jockies don't understand the horse. There is a moment when you should just let the horse run.

The call was great too!!

And how bout Penny 5 out of 6 races rockstar

Big red god love You rule

I was 12 and I got chills when the announcer said, ' He's moving like a tremendous machine ", still does.

This documentary by ESPN is fantastic. It's worthy of telling future generations about who Secretariat was and why he is considered one of the greatest athletes ever.

I think he got a little extra boost from his groom and his exercise rider. They both really loved him and made him feel special. It's like he had a dog personality.

Let us remember all the young horses that didn't win and being send to slaughter.

Most beautiful animal and so talented.

Just one of the best pictures of all time !

He's still the only horse to run the Belmont in under 2 minutes

17:56 - 24:30 for Belmont, third race of the Triple Crown... I've watched that segment 100 times

Why is it never mentioned that he had an abscess in his mouth. Once that was taken care of he was good to go.

I've watched this before and I'll watch it over again. And love it everytime. ❤

It’s been 51 years and we’re still celebrating him. 🎉❤❤❤

Whats so amazing about this is that its been 50 years....50 years of thousands of horses, 50 years of advanced Technology, advanced food, training, medical care, advanced Genetics, drugs, supplements, even luck, no horse has even come close to that record. Imagine all the Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey records that have been obliterated since then. This record eill never, ever been broken.

Secretariat was and will always be the super hores I don’t care what other people think or say he was the best

An enlarged heart is due from cocaine steroids and or alcohol! I highly doubt that Secretariat was doing cocaine and alcohol!!!!

Secretariat actually set the worlds record for 1 5/8 mile, during the Belmont, but they could not give him that record because the Belmont is 1 1/2 miles. He still holds the record for all 3 Triple Crown Races. Since 1973, there have been over 2 million thoroughbred foals born, and none have come close to Secretariats records.

The horse that God built. There will never be another horse who will do what he did. Absolute perfection.

The relationship and understanding between the right jockey and horse cannot be underestimated

This majestic creature is just divine. And there’s something magic about this horse. 50 years later and people are still mesmerized by him. Almost everyone that knows of him and feels a soul connection with him. Truly remarkable

A miracle we got to see

I believe this, was a God doing.just to show us all , anything is possible with God.❤

Absolutely God given perfection

There is no horse as beautiful, in my opinion, as the Friesian. Perfection.

The good old days

I remember watching these races. I was 12 back then. I just loved this horse, still do!!! Such an exciting time in my life and millions of other people too!! Not long after the Triple Crown, Breyer came out with a Big Red horse model, he was immortalized for ever!!! Of course I had to have one! He passed away in 1989, I think euthanized, because of severe laminitis. I will never forget him!!! RIP BIG RED, LOVE YOU!!!!

Laminitis: killed with kindness. (Greed?) NOW they keep the studs trim and exercised. Not overfed and confined.

Secretariat never had mares of high enough quality to meet production expectations.

I get goose bumps every time I watch this video! Simply amazing!

Jack it is now 51 years later and I'm still crying every time I watch Big Red run

I was nine years old watching the belmont....greatest athlete I've ever seen.

I wonder if secretariat missed competing in races and the attention

One of a kind. No question.

There are no words to adequately describe Secretariat. Fabulous. Magnificent. Stupendous. Incredible. Amazing. Those words don't even begin to touch him. He was the one and only Secretariat. His name says it all.🌹🐎

Secretariat and the Miracle on Ice…the two greatest sporting events of all time.

Guess what kindness. This isn't the end result. Smiling God did intend a it's alright called my friend.

"He is moving like a tremendous machine" still brings tears to my eyes when I hear that call.

If for some reason you don't feel like watching the entire fiim, ff to 38:40. Not even Man O'War had that going for him.

...there is a statue of Secretariat with Ron aboard for the ride in the middle of the traffic circle at Old Frankfort Pike and Arlington Road just off route 4 between I-64 and Keeneland; the statue is 2 and 1/2 times normal size; and is visited by so many fans that they had to add parking around the entire perimeter of the traffic circle.

"Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?" "Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?" "He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray." "He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword." Job 39: 19-24.

The greatest performance the triple crown record. Perfection

The 73 Belmont is the single most dominating performance in sports history.

I have a painting of this horse in my home and I can't tell you how many people always rave about it when they come over.

I treated many of his progeny when I was in vet school and at referral centers many years ago. None ever could hold a candle to him.

When I watch the magnificent Secretariat run I am reminded of the famous line spoken by Eric Liddell, the real-life runner who won gold in the 1924 Olympics for Britain (basis for the film Chariots of Fire): “I believe God made me for a purpose - but He also made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure.” Liddell was a devout Christian who was a missionary in China during WWII. His quote always makes me think of the magnificent Big Red whose unbelievable majesty gave us a glimpse of a truly awesome majesty.

Greatest athlete of my time. I am 71
