SECRETARIAT

- Woodie's unquestioned number one athlete. We have unparalleled access to Big Red -- his owner , the cover girl Penny Tweedy -- the horse's syndicator, the legendary Clairborne Farm. Woodie visits Secretariat's Kentucky birthplace just after the royal mating and before anyone knew who Secretartiat was - goes to Penny Tweedy's Virginia farm to see her other Kentucky Derby winner and doesn't know that Secretariat is out there romping with the other unknown horses - and provides perspective for CBS Sports on their Triple Crown telecasts of the first TC winner in 25 years. It is "living history" and pure poetry .No one covered Secretariat like Heywood Hale Broun.
Secretariat is all alone! He's moving like a tremendous machine!
Big Red will always be the best race horse in history. His record at Belmont will never be broken.
How is it that after watching Secretariat win the Belmont well over a 100 times I still get goosebumps and choke up. I never tire of watching him win the triple crown races. This magnificent horse seems to touch all of us and stir our emotions. It’s incredible that 50 years later people are still moved by Secretariat. He will never be forgotten. I watch the recent triple crown races and a couple of horses have won the TC in recent years. I respect them but they don’t have the emotional impact on me that Secretariat did. It’s not their fault. I don’t think any horse will ever mean so much to the people in the country as he did. It’s also astonishing that fifty years later his track records still hold up. It’s said that all records are made to be broken. I generally agree with that theory but not in this case. The Belmont was a supernatural performance. Today’s modern day horses can’t even sniff at his time of 2:24 flat. They’re usually around three seconds slower which is approximately 20 lengths in distance and these horses are the best of what today can offer. It was the greatest sports accomplishment in history by the greatest athlete in history. There will never be another Secretariat!!
Secretariat is the greatest sports icon in the history of sports and that includes humans.
1981, my 4 daughters, and I visited Cliaborne Farm during a vacation trip to FL and had the honor of meeting Secretariat live in-person. Two weeks later we visited again during the trip home. Secretariat perked right up. I asked his caretaker if Secretariat actually remembered us, mostly my daughters. He said that Secretariat was highly intelligent and remembered everybody. The caretaker gave each of my 4 daughters an aluminum horseshoe that Secretariat had once used. My 4 daughters still have those horseshoes today and a bunch of photographs from both of those visits.
That’s so sweet
AWSOME.👍👍
Great memory! Great share!
Glad I was alive to see this.
Me too, it was a great time to be alive!!
Thank you Eddie Sweat for the Greatest grooming jobs of a horse we have ever witnessed!!
👍🙏🏆🏇🌍🌌🌠
I think Eddy was the big reason Big Red felt loved. Eddy took special care of Big Red. I believe Eddy prayed over Secretariat. His part in the move was what brought me to tears. Eddy slept in the barn with Big Red. Red knew he was loved. (Very sad no one kept up with Eddys life.)

Secretariat touched people’s hearts. We all fell in love that spring and summer with a super horse, Secretariat. A handsome specimen that could never be matched in the field or on the track, Big Red! He was breathtaking.
There will never be another Secretariat!
GET REAL! HE WAS MATCHED. AND LOST 5! TIMES! SEC. WAS VERY OVERRATED.
Opinions are like assholes everyone has one you idiot
@captainamericaamerica8090 you're way overrated in your own mind. 😂
Every time I hear his name I get chills. I'm so lucky to have lived during this time. Watching him run brings tears. I can't explain it, I can only feel it.

I wasn't born when he ran, but for some reason I can't stop watching this perfect horse.
Because he was a miracle creation. An animal with a heart like a Mustang engine.
I met him on TH-cam, and I cry like he's my horse. The love for this magnificent animal is real!!!
Don't ever stop... This is true greatness...
He will forever be the Wonder Horse! The Perfect Horse.
Without a doubt the greatest horse To ever run
down a race track
We will prpbably never see one like him again.
Exactly
He was the epitome of greatness. The GOAT.
RIP Big Red.....🌹🌹🌹
Wasn't ! At all! He was ;beaten= 5!! Times! Sec was very OVERRATED
I was called by my dad in Venezuela to the TV to watch the Derby of 1971, the Venezuelan horse, by the way, it was black and white TV, Canonero II, won the Derby. Two years later I was there with my dad, in color TV, watching Secretariat...
Chick Anderson's calls of Secretariet's races were the best ever. So sad to know Secretariet is no longer with us.
Go out while you’re on top!! I was 13 when I saw him run. My nose was pressed to the tv. I had a horse and she was my life. Horses are soulful creatures. I am so happy to have had the experience of theses wonderful souls!!
I'm 45 and I've wanted a horse my whole life. 😥
Wow so lucky
@@trawlins396 keep buying lottery tix & maybe your wish will come true soon 👍🏻😊
Secretariat was my 1st love of a racehorse.....he still has my heart at my 71yr old age.....I was young married, wife of a Marine, with a baby....captured my heart......
May you three be still well. Secretariat's career was a busy time for Marines.
Thanks to your hubby for his service and to all 3 of you for your sacrifices.
one of the unsaid amazing things that show how much better he was then any other horse is that Ron Turcott did not need to use the whip to get Secretariat going. Sham was constantly being whipped by his jockey but could not stay with him. And Sham was a great horse.
He used the whip coming around the last turn in the Kentucky Derby. You can see him using it in the video, that was the only time he used it.
Who's watching this in 2021? I can't get enough of this magnificent horse! secretariat the best race horse of all time! no other horse until this day has ever beaten his winning record of 2:24! just watching the Belmont Stakes race still gives me chills! all the great horses back in the day, Citation, Man O War, Affirm, but Secretariat is a magical horse! God's creation! hands down!
watching it in 2022!
@@pickle581 Yes! still watching!!
Yes, watching 2022
Affirmed
March 22, 2022 still watching and will be to my last breath!
Secretariat was unforgettable. I’ll always remember that big, strapping boy. What a beauty.
Heywood Hale Broun is a worthy chronicler of this Great Horse. I miss him as well. Never another like him.
Woody was poetic; quite special.
The GREATNESS just radiated from this animal, despite the slight setbacks in his career caused by human error. What a LEGACY!!
HoustonIsImmortal, human errors? Secretariat always had the best care possible. Eddie sweat was with him constantly.
OH PLEASE😥😥😥SEC WAS BEATEN BY SOME NOT SO GREAT HORSES. STOP WITH ALL THE LAME EXCUSES= YOU= 😳😳😳
'So long Big Red you were the Best, you gave us Memories' 🙏❤🙏
ONLY MAN" O' WAR!! IS THE REAL BIG RED!
What an Athlete!
Ms. Chenery said they were "anxious times". Having been there I must agree. The more films I watch and books I read about Red, the more I see that all the people around him were wholesome, caring folks. Can't say I know much about the people raising and racing other horses, but I still feel the calmness all of Red's people displayed those 2 years he raced. One and all when they spoke to the media they were low keyed and conscious of how people needed to feel some calm from some direction. And Red was different in that he was nice to other horses, other handlers, even the fans who were at the Preakness and could have ruined the race hanging over the rail! We sure need someone to some how give us that kind of calm today. It would help us remember we are friends from coast to coast and grace and courtesy are what we owe our fellow citizens. Anxious times indeed.
Very well said. I agree with you.
Secretariat did have some wonderful owners and people taking good care of him. I have read where some people say the owners treat their horses bad and run them in the ground for money. His were not like that and it's horrible he got that hoof problem. He would have lived a whole lot longer!
Well said. I wish all horses were treated so kindly and calmly and with love. I’m very glad Secretariat had that.
For a young man in 1973 Seth was a smart man.
A beautiful and great horse rip ❤️❤️
The Greatest.. There will Ever be.
Secretariat is the standard by which all other race horses are measured. He was simply -- the greatest.
Rob: Only on dirt and only over there.
Jack Tattis Petty. I see you with your negative comments.
2:24 is a world record not American record. He is the baddest dude that ever lived!!! He set track records on grass as well.
So beautiful ♥️ 😍 wish he could have stayed at the meadow
The time Secretariat set at Belmont of 2:24 for the 1 1/2 mile is thought by most in racing to be the only unbeatable record in horse racing
Still bringing tears to my eyes in 2022!!!
YOU MUST HAVE CRIED OFTEN! SEC' LOST 5! TIMES😂😂AND' TO SOME CHEAP HORSES
cnt believe after so many years..I still get goosebumps watching this...
Because he was a once in a lifetime miracle.
I'm so glad we have the internet so I can re live watching this magical Horse. All these decades later. Never duplicated. One of a kind
I love the story of that horse
Perfection cannot be duplicated or improved upon
I love that close up of him running that last part of the Belmont. You can really see his power better than the far off clips.
So true. He was truly like an amazing machine. An animal with a heart like a Rolls Royce engine.
I never cease to be impressed with what a well spoken and fine young man Seth Hancock was/is...his Dad must have been very proud.
If humans could take one horse that existed on this planet and replicated into a tremendous machine, it would be Secretariat. ( RIP Big Red )
The most amazing thing about secretariat is everything in life is meant to get better in time for example nearly every old record has been broken but yet he still is known as the best horse ever and still holds the records for fastest runnings of all the triple crown races 🤷♂️
They say records are meant to be broke but at some point records get set that will never be broke, secretariat set those records that will last forever 1:59 2/5, 1:53, 2:24
I cry every time I watch this. Like 10 times a day.
Good. 2. No. Some. People have. A. Good heart
Lets put it this way, if Secretariat never came to be, there have been many, many, many super horses, but since Secretariat did come to be, there is only one super horse
The Horse God Built. GOAT.
I loved Secretariat n I still miss him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"It would have been a marvelous race for an eagle".
This horse ability is like Simone Biles on a floor exercise, Dale Earnhardt at Daytona 500, Michael Jordon with a basketball, Usain Bolt in the 100 meters, Tiger Woods with a golf club, and the list can go on.
One of the greatest athletes in history... This horse makes tears come out of ones eyes...
"That's no horse young man...that's Secretariat!"
Yes! I was one of those chosen (Elmont is my hometown) to be there in person on that extremely hot Saturday to see Secretariat win the Belmont and Triple Crown!!! I can still feel the floor of the grandstand vibrating to the stomping of our collective feet and roar of the crowd all rooting for Secretariat as we saw the ever widening gap to our amazement and joy!!! Never forget that. How lucky were we to see him and often!!!
Lois,what an experience that must have been. Something I'm sure you will never forget. He was an angel flying on 4 legs.
Wow must have been great
@@raheemnicholls5055 It changed the course of my life. From that day on I knew I had to be with horses.
Long Island was my birth place and home, too, but I was away and watched and cheered from a TV. We all loved "Big Red." -- a fellow Anne McCaffrey fan, too!
My God what an honor for you to have been there! I was 13 that summer, a horse crazy girl….. crazy for Secretariat. What a gift he was to those of us alive to see him run. His videos still bring tears to my eyes. He died way too young, and will be missed forever. His records stand untouched as testament to how amazing he was! After all these years he is still missed by so many🌹🙏🏻
I just found this video and it’s a wonderful because I get to see secretariat over and over again. The horse that God gave us.
He truly was an *absolute unit.*
Secretariat's victory at the Belmont was a coronation. I tear up every time I watch it. Big Red was (is) truly the GOAT, Greatest Of All Time.
Hidden figutres
Polotan Maria Justa I do too. He was truly the "horse God made". Many years ago, I saw the movie, "Chariots of Fire". One of the characters said, "When I run, I feels God's pleasure ". I wonder if Secretariat felt His pleasure. I hope so.
He was magnificent and I saw him all the time when I worked at Belmont as a hotwalker.
Your father is exactly right. Yet he had that racehorse sleekness but he was ripped and kind of walked like John Wayne.
Your words are exactly what I'd have said.
He was the greatest gift ever to the horse world. There will never ever be another and that is how it should be. He was a very special gift and I will be ever grateful that I was actually able to see him when he races. I will never forget.
When I get down and things get overwhelming I watch Secretariat the actual film clips of the races and
the movie
I’m with you watching the movie takes me away from the world, and going out and spending time with my 2 OTTBs
He may not have won as many races as man O war but he was the people’s horse, and that makes him the greatest. He was so memorable and powerful.
And here it is 48 years later since he won the triple crown and he’s still the number one name in horse racing and the horse all others are compared too
Man O’ War was great but Secretariat was greater
Secretariat would have left Man o war in the dust. Period.
He was the greatest horse ever and ever Secretariat. Never be another like him. I watched every race he was in. Amazing athlete he was. I loved him. Always will.
I agree with Woody commenting on Secretariat's statue. Yes it's a lovely tribute, but he was built like no other horse anyone had ever seen with a magnificent physique. Just like I did on 6/9/73 every time I see video of him I'm like everyone else and shed tears of joy that I had a chance to witness one of the greatest athletes in history.
First brush with greatness. Secretatiet to this day make my heart stop to see him run!
Secretariat born in beautiful Historical Doswell Virginia 3/30/70 Secretariat was hero to so many of us. Riva Ridge & Secretariat awesome stablemates got their start at Meadow Stables in beautiful Historical Doswell Virginia. Tremendous history great listening to the story of these tremendous horses. Riva Ridge and Secretariat were heroes to so many of us. Thanks for the memories Riva Ridge and Secretariat
He just L❤️VED running, it was in his soul! I wish they had just let him run on and on, until he didn't want to anymore. If he had been my horse, I would have let him, it would have been his choice, no whips, nothing, just to his hearts desire!!
America AND the world needs a Secretariat NOW ! We need the kind of break this super horse gave us almost 50 years ago. I am no horseman but I do love horses almost as much as women 😉✌🇺🇸.
We just got a teaser with Rich Strike winning the Kentucky Derby
wont be a triple crown winner but memorable race just the same.
Such great memoriesl
Secretarait 😻the invincible handsome guy 🌹🌹
Watch woody's videos before, It always brings tears and memories
of the wonderful "Secretariat".. Keep racing in the heavens my magnificent champion.
You will always live in our hearts and consciousness forever...
The best horse secretariat best ever yes ever.
exactly the numbers tell the tale.
We witnessed a miracle
What an amazing animal he was.
I get tears everytime I see this movie. Go Secretariat!😀😀😀😀
me to. and i LOVE that the true owner penny is in amongst the crowd in the move
Resembling a mule is an honor. Mules are what this country was built on. They are beautiful creatures and Woodie's description of Riva Ridge is unacceptable. All those equines are majestic, in their own.
True but he was describing a reality where people judge heros based on beauty. He wasn’t making a personal judgment.
Who couldnt love that horse-GREAT story!
DAMN RIGHT memories!!! He was THE one!
Great video. Bill Nack was quite the poet himself.
A true miracle of God
You are absolutely right. Man's attempts at breeding another Secretariat have all come up short. Only God can create perfection and his name was Big Red.
A magical time with a truly untouchable hero.
Mike Rodriguez Kelso was a gelding you moron. Do you know why?
Mike Rodriguez You would not understand the fact that my comment has NOTHING to do with the few times he was beaten. Secretariat was much MORE than a horse that was beaten a few times!!!
I love you Secretariat !!! I cry when I see you Win!! The greatest Horse ever or ever will be!! Poetry in motion....La Machine !!!
Mike Rodriguez-- Onion got his ass kicked by Sec. Those horses were slower and in fact he holds the record for the Derby,Preakness and Belmont. Those horses had to be beaten to win and pumped full of drugs. Secretariat is the only horse in the world that can be ridden and set records drug free and not be beaten down by painful whipping. Nice try though.
Ha ha ha-You`re thinking of Kelso-24 lashes--Onion-22 and broke the skin--the announcer clearly said-the whip is put away-moron you don`t know what that means
+Mike Rodriguez Hey Mikey. How much did Onion beat Big Red by? 2 parts of a length was it????Red with crap running down his legs. Then in the MARLBORO CUP what happened to Onion when Riva Ridge and Secretariat buried Onion???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
+Mike Rodriguez Hey Mikey I think the drugs are way stronger now at least the ones you are on. No HORSE EVER on dirt has gone 1 1/2, that is 12 furlongs for you rookie, than Big Red, Secretariat. So, Mikey boy go HOP on the bus back to Hialeah so you can be parking lot guard AGAIN.
Mikey Rodriguez is the most over rated racing fan of all time and the most over rated barn sweep, parking lot guard, drug pusher and track master.
+Mike Rodriguez Secretariat WAS the perfect STORM and it will haunt Mikey Rodriguez FOREVER just like Secretariat's DESTROYING Forego does.
Secretariat. The greatest race horse to ever grace this Earth.
Thank you so much for this wonderful compilation video! So many clips & interviews I had never seen before. It was educational too. And how I enjoyed Woodie Broun’s poetic way with words! RIP to all of the wonderful people in Secretariat’s world who are no longer with us.
We damn sure could use another Secretariat in these current times.
Not gonna happen though, Secretariat is a once only horse never to be duplicated again!
If one excludes Secretariat from the data base, there have been several super horses. If you include Secretariat, there has been only one.
A great way to put it.
If you excluded Secretariat, Sham would have been thought of as a super horse. He would have easily won the Triple Crown.
Secretariat still holds all three track records in the Triple Crown. Imagine what his times would be if he did't break last in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes.
I still get chills every time I see videos of Secretariat.
@@AndyFromBeaverton Secretariat's jockey said he held him back didn't want to spend him, so that he could win the final 1.5 mile race and win the triple crown.
i agree because he was so great people dont realize how good the competition was. Had it been a different time sham would have been the champion
There will probably never be another athlete as good, as charismatic, as beautiful and as loved by everybody as Secretariat. RIP PENNY & SECRETARIAT.
Should have shown Big Red’s move in the Preakness.
Ms Penny Chenery , always thanked the Secretariat team both at Meadow Farm in beautiful Historical Doswell Virginia and the team that would meet Secretariat and Riva Ridge when they began their racing careers . The HOF Groom Eddie Sweat, HOF Trainer Lucian Lauren ,HOF Jockey Ronnie Turcotte.
Great memories awesome great hearing The late Howard Gentry the Farm Manager during Meadow Farm glory years talk about Riva Ridge the Meadow Farm Veternarian Team nursed Riva Ridge back to health when he first arrived. Bless our heroes of yesteryear Riva Ridge and Secretariat
I can say, "Yes, when I was a kid, 8.5 yrs old, I saw Secretariat"
"These are all flowery, ridiculous things and you could say 'Hey, it's just a horse race.' I'm sorry, this horse was an athlete!" Jerry Izenberg, The Star-Ledger
kwgrid How could anyone say, "It's just a horse".
The way Mr. Izenberg slapped his hands for emphasis when he made that comment really drove his point home.
I was lucky enough to be born in Kentucky Big Red was A Household Name
@@shadrach6299
One reporter said when they were checking Secretariat for drugs after a race, “They’re treating him just like another horse”! They were in the presence of greatness!
Great video:) Walking from the paddock at the Belmont, Secretariat was said to look as if he were "walking on springs." This video shows this nicely. Also has footage of Seth Hancock I've never seen before. I have a framed copy of the picture @1:10, where Turcotte's lost the thunder of the pack and Secretariat appears to be about 19 or so lengths ahead. I don't ever get tired of looking at it. One word: amazing. Two words: never again.
@jesusisnotallright s im sorry your blind sir it must be awful
GREATEST HORSE OF ALL TIME!!!! HANDS DOWN!!! LUV YA BIG RED!!!
Glenn Do some research on Great horses elsewhere in the world
Jack Tattis Go find something else to do. You write the same comments over and over. Don’t watch Secretariat videos and especially read the comments if you don’t like him.
Ole woody awesome
Love seeing Woody. He was so cool.
Let your mind wonder as you try to comprehend what Secretariat could have accomplished had he raced as a 4 yr old.
RIP Big Red.
Hats off to Big Red one of the greatest athletes of all time
At the time his breeding shares were set, gold was selling at $90.00 an ounce. Dividing his syndication price by his weight, put Secretariat's value at $270.00 an ounce, or valued at three times his weight in gold.
I wonder why Bill Nack didn't see what PLATINUM was going for, and tally up that total, that would have been even more Astounding ! ❤️❤️
In a very personal way, Secretariat belonged to all of us...........He Always Will.
There are, and will be, other Great horses, but there will Never be another Big Red.
It was One Hell Of A Ride that Red took us on.
Sometimes he lost, but he never disappointed us.
"America's Horse"?
Yeah, He Was.
Dwight Currie, Americas horse? No, he was the worlds horse. I live in Sweden and I can’t see enough of him.
@@tordkarl; I stand corrected friend.
He belonged to the world.
Thanks to the internet, we can all enjoy him whenever we like.
Secretariat horse fantastic! From Brazil! 💚💛
That Belmont still makes me cry. Especially having known the valiance of a fine horse.
He was dominant before my time in 85, but I love watching old videos of him, and I am not a horse guy. He was the tiger, Ronaldo, brady rogers etc etc of the equestrian world. The dominant thing of 73 and the belmont race was sick to watch. He would have lapped the field on a shorter track. Sham would've been a beast if not born along side secretariat.
Didn’t know of him until two days ago and now find myself to be amazed at the impact the story has left on me, sparking an interest I didn’t imagine ever having just the day before.
I thank these two promising young adults who took me to The Kentucky Horse Park and Museum, showed me around and told me the stories of a few of the most magnificent thoroughbreds there were. I absolutely loved it, and want to get back down there very soon.
Driving through the Georgetown/Lexington area of Kentucky with it’s black painted barns and fences, it’s grassy meadows, stone walls, and beautiful horses, it all comes together in such a great way that I’m honestly at a loss for words for the way it’s all made me feel.
What a beautiful post ❤️
God had his hand in SECRETARIAT but BIG RED had become the one and only CHAMPION with the speed of a airplane and double size heart💙
As usual, the person Secretariat most loved, his devoted groom, Eddie Sweat, is shown but not mentioned. While Ms. Chenery grew to love Secretariat - she said in an interview that she initially resented his almost too-perfect combination of beauty and talent - her particular favorite was Riva Ridge.
Salice McCool de
+Michael. RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ So you weren't a friend to him. Got it.
Thanks for saying my cousin name eddie SWEAT if it wasn't for him caring and loving that horse I don't know what would be
@@samuelstokes8073 I heard an interview of Penny Tweedy where she gave a great deal of credit to Eddie for his early handlng of Secretariat. That his easy handling was important because rough handling could have ruined him.
Pincay should had faced some kind of fine and or suspension because of the abusive whipping inflicted on Sham
Yes I totally agree with you 100 % about that. That Truly Is ABUSE !! I heard it said, that he had to be put down after that race, because he injured one of his two front legs.
That is Heart Breaking. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
That has to be the most CLUELESS STATEMENT I’VE EVER HEARD! You have no idea what you’re talking about!
Do your homework before you open your mouth
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 All horse racing is, is abuse. Well, it is nowadays. Back then it had its abuse but it’s not nearly as bad as it is nowadays.
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609 that is completely false. Sham went on to run in the Belmont and fractured a cannonbone shortly after. He was retired to stud and died in 1993.
His sons may not have come close to his accomplishments, but colts like Kingston Rule did Very well in Australia.
His daughters certainly have made a mark in history.
Weekend Surprise was bred to Seattle Slew and Storm Bird to give us racing and stud champs AP Indy and Summer Squall.
Terlingua was bred to Northern Dancer and Storm Bird giving us the racing filly Chapel of Dreams with $640k in winnings,
and the outstanding stud Storm Cat.
Meadow Farm took two horses to the Triple Crown competition and brought home 5 of the 6 races.
I wish the Chenery's had lived to see and enjoy that amazing, unique accomplishment.
No mention of the connection between a abscess in Red's mouth and the Wood Memorial is made. How odd . . .
Note: NEVER watch a Hollyweard/TV production and expect to be able to pass a history test.
Man of War was the country's horse, Seabiscuit was the people's horse, but Secretariat was God's horse. His heart weighed 20 lbs, he was a descendant of Pocahontas which was a horse who had a muration called the big heart gene it passed on over a hundred years to Big Red.
...never will we see another Secretariat, we try, we study, we breed, we hope with each Belmont we will see a chilling and tremendous race.
+southpaw3sox Secretariat was just himself. He had a bit of stellar breeding, but when his dam (Something Special) dropped him, he just wanted to be something special. He was his mama's boy, and he was a bit of stardust. He blew into our world when we needed a superstar distraction. Even now we talk about him! And that's Something Special.
+Brenda Dale Wonderful comment Brenda. BTW, Secretariat's mother's name was "Something Royal"It is no wonder that Secretariat is often referred as the "King of the sport of Kings"
+Brenda Dale ...and I know you love that horthy as much as I do, and so many others, even still. Very nice. Here is a Haiku I wrote for him.
Haiku for Secretariat
Yet, my heart still pounds,
As the gorgeous boy runs.
Racing through my heart.
Brenda Dale .....you are so right.
southpaw3 sox: Ahmm did Secretariat win 35 races in a row, Did he win 3 Melbourne Cups[ 2 miles] in a row .NO then be content GOAT in the USA
tHERE ARE A LOT OF RACING DONE OUTSIDE THE us
King TIGER TEAM TIGER SHAM WAS A GREAT HORSE, UNFORTUNATELY HE WENT UP AGAINST THE GREATEST.... SECRETARIAT!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Sham was also an awesome horse!
ec fan not awesome enough
It was very unfortunate for Sham to have come along the same year as Secretariat. He was an outstanding horse who would have been a triple crown champion any other year.
Gods Horse. Perfection.Period.the.end.
God loaned us his horse, we called him Secretariat
Everyone involved with Secretariat and Triple Crown races in 1973 made this moment a lasting memory for those of us who had the great fortune to witness it. Penny, Ron, Bill Nack, Chic Anderson, Seth, et al. Who has come along since then to even match them?
He as to be the best all those tracks records from 73 still unbroken amazing
Very educated good research you speak with confidence and authority, I'm talking about the horse. Oh, what a horse!
