13. Omaha, 1935 (20-1)
Secretariat's Triple Crown performance was the best feat of athleticism I ever witnessed live on TV, especially his run at the Belmont. Eddie Arcaro, who rode Citation and Whirlaway to Triple Crown victory, was asked if Secretariat was the greatest race horse he ever saw. He answered, "I won't say if he was the greatest, but I will say this: there is no horse, living or dead, who could have beaten Secretariat that day" (at the Belmont). Amen!
I like the Amen ! We also need to be champions 🎯
Willie Shoemaker, who rode just about every Champion from the 50's through the 90's, said that Spectacular Bid was the best horse to lay foot on a racetrack and if you start doing the math...it is hard to disagree. For example, if you compare the Bid to Secretariat on any and all levels. He was just a faster, superior horse than Secretariat. His World Record for classic distance is 9 lengths better. And he did that with more weight and eased up..No way would Secretariat ever beat Spectacular Bid.
@@davidbracher8322 Who has the Triple Crown records? oh yea. Secretariat.
I agree wit Arcaro!
@@davidbracher8322
My rebuttal is that only one horse owns the record at Churchill down,Pimlico and the Belmont. As much respect that I have for Spectacular Bid, he doesn’t beat Secreteriat at any of those tracks. 🍻
48 years later he still holds all three triple crown records . Enough said .
Big Red will always be the greatest !
Although it took some 40 years to get Preakness time corrected.
50 years now
@@jamespenny9482 Indeed. Legend grows with time.
Agreed
This is so cool, all the triple crown winners in one race! Of course we already know Secretariat, who holds the record in all 3 races would win, but it was fun to watch it play out!
Yeah, it was a great idea! I really enjoyed that. To have Secretariat alive again, if only for 1:59 minutes ❤

@@jamespenny9482 😊👍🏻
That was awesome. Eventhough it was computer generated, it still gave me chills. Thank you for this video.
I always felt bad for Sham. If not for the GOAT coming along in the same year, Sham may well be in this race.
True story. Sham always gets left off of all time greatest lists, when his only bugaboo was being born the wrong year.
Based on actual times, Sham would’ve beaten Affirmed by about 6 lengths and American pharaoh my about 16 lengths. He has a much faster Derby time than any triple crown winner in history (besides Secretariat).
Yes that's true, but the year before Riva Ridge probably would have won the triple crown if not for the rain. I guess that's how life goes
True, Sham was a very good horse. But a legend wins. Another year he could have had triple crown.
@@rossrubino9080True
I think secretariats performance in the PREAKNESS is his greatest race ever, he was made for the Belmont, big long race on a big track, he was also well built for the derby being a big powerful horse able to bully horses out of his way BUT THE PREAKNESS with the short track and tight turns is another matter entirely which is why turcotte goes thru hell and high-water to get him to the lead on the first turn. I can't ever recall seeing a horse pass so many horses on a turn like he did.. if any other horse would have done what secretariat in that first turn he would have been spent and lost by fifteen lengths...unreal
Turcotte stated that all he did was to nudge the horse slightly on that first turn. He also said that the horse really ran the race himself!
You know the tighter turns at Pimlico is just a myth right? The turns are the same on that track as they are on any other one mile track, including Churchill Downs
I think Preakness is the best, too. The way he just kicks on the afterburner and passes all the other horses like they’re nailed to the ground. When he suddenly appears in the camera range and Chic Anderson said “Secretariat has made a sudden move and is now 6th!…He’s on the outside, looking for the lead, and it’s right now he’s looking for it…Secretariat is in the center of the racetrack and driving…” It gets me every time. Belmont was, of course, amazing, but the Preakness is so great.
@@loryhorn7113 Yes, he’s talked about how Secretariat did what he (the horse) wanted. He understood competition. Early on, he lost a race and had a tantrum about it in his stall.
Well said
Cool. What was the final finishing order?
One of if not the Greatest athlete I've ever seen!!
I knew Secretariat would win. If we could magically create this race in real life Secretariat would have won by a bigger margin
I had my money on him all the way!
Secretariat's margin of victory at the Belmont, based on recorded times, would have beaten American Pharoah by 13 lengths, Affirmed by 14 lengths, War Admiral by 23 lengths, Seattle Slew by 28 lengths, and Whirlaway by 35 lengths.
Damn! What a great horse! GOAT!!!
What about the race he lost to Onion?
Would he have beat those horses by that much?
@@boswindle9050 What about the Marlboro Cup, where Secretariat left Onion (as well as probably the best field ever assembled, with a Kentucky Derby winner, a Hall of Famer (Cougar II), Travers winner, Canadian Horse of the Year and 1972 Eclipse Award winner) in his dust?
@@boswindle9050 From Wikipedia:
Penny Tweedy, Secretariat's owner, later claimed the horse was running a low-grade fever on the racing day, but agreed to keep him in the race because she felt he could triumph over the field. Vasquez (Onion's jockey) told an interviewer: "I probably caught him on a bad day. Onion wasn't the same caliber. It's just that he loved Saratoga and had a good day."
Onion and Secretariat met for a second and final time on September 15, 1973 [...] Secretariat had returned to full health by this time and won the race while setting a new world record of 1:45 2/5 for 1⅛ miles; Onion finished in fourth place.
Sorry. Secretariat was really the best horse. *Deb Bennett, Ph.D.* made a complete analysis of why Secretariat was so great in Equus magazine a couple years ago.
@@nathalie_desrosiers of course anyone can have an excuse why they lost.
What was their excuse for the Angle Light loss?
I'm sure they have one.
And my boy Affirmed finishing 4th, 2 lengths back. Did they ever do the movie about Affirmed and Alydar?
What made Secretariat so special? The horse never slowed down, and accelerated at every furlough until the end, evident by this video; so very good jockey too that knew how to race the horse. The second place horse is Sham at the Derby and close at Preakness. A great horse, but Shams folks talked smack after the Preakness- how they knew to beat Secretariat by pacing together the whole race for the Belmont.
Everyone thought Secretariat came out too strong but Sham got tired around the 3rd turn and Secretariat won by over 30 lengths 1/16 mile plus hahaha. They turned him loose and let him run and never lost pace but increased without a whip...classic butt kicking.
There used to be a human version of Secretariat named Hicham El Garrouj from Morocco. He would gradually build up his pace until all the others started to fall back. This was back in the 90's. His records stand to this day and will likely never be broken.
@@jamesclapp6832 pretty cool. I’ll have to check that out.
Secretariat didn't need to be whipped. Won all three triple crown races under a hand ride.
He wasn’t running against these horses.
Yes I remember that he was not whipped at all.
Secretariat, Seattle slew, spectacular Bid, allydar, affirmed, ruffian, sham, the 1970s was one hell of a era of all time greats,
no way it would be that close. Secretariat by at least 3 lengths.
Probably more than 3 lengths.
WOW, I like that. He comes through again. His record ……. Well, his records will always stand. What a special horse he was. Feeling like he is a part of your life. Rooting him on, man what a athlete!!!!
I don't think Secretariat would have allowed any horse to pass him on the far turn.
That was his M.O. He let Onion go bye. And Phone out made up 4 lengths on him in the stretch. As both of those horses buried him in the end. Secretariat was very mediocre when he tried open company. That often happens when 3 yo. Leave the restricted ranks for the better competition in open company.
@@davidbracher8322 he destroyed older horses in the Marlboro Cup and then his 2 grass races were against older horses...and those were complete annihilations
@@TheJustjim3333 as big as his lungs were, it’s no wonder that no horse ever was able to beat him
@@TheJustjim3333 Onion passed him I don't care to hear excuses
@@boswindle9050 and then he blew his doors off....they all lose, now go watch kittens play and eave the horses to people who know what they're talking about
Secretariat is the greatest athlete that ever lived.
awesome, loved it, could have put a little more work on the graphics. Why didn't NBC show clips of all the Derby triple crown champions through out the show, instead of spending just 5 minutes on the race & 2 hours plus rehashing American Pharaoh ?
Really, really well done,
Testament to your creativity & your technology. 👌👍
I don't think the race would have been that close! 😊
The greatest three year old EVER
@Stephen Small lie
Seattle Slew. Big Red actually lost before his Triple Crown.
SS didn't
Citation had the greatest 3 year old season of all the triple crown winners with 19 wins in 20 starts. At he end of his 3 year old season he had an overall record of 27 wins and 2 second place finishes in 29 starts. Early in his 3 year old season he beat older horse Armed, 1947 Horse of the Year. Citation's overall record is a little muddy since he got hurt late in his 3 year old season, missed his entire 4 year old season, and only came back at 5 only because his owner wanted him to become the first horse to win $1M in purses (which he did). He wasn't quite the same horse after his injury. In 45 career starts, he finished no worse than 3rd in 44 races. I'm not saying he was better than Secretariat but his 3 year old campaign stands above all others.
@Stephen Small Maybe had the greatest turn of foot I've ever seen in a horse. He toyed with the horses in both the Derby and Arc .
Secretariat was perfection ❤ None better. ❤
It wouldn't have been that close, my man. And Ron Turcotte would NEVER have to whip him like that! EVER!
But it was fun to watch.
Listening to the HRRN Fantasy Derby was a lot of fun, too! In fact, I
enjoyed it more. The field was more interesting in some ways...since it
was just KY Derby winners so there was Barbaro and MIne that Bird. It
was great how they interviewed the trainers, some very old now, and the
jockeys like Ron Turcotte, as if it was really a pre-race show! Very
well done!!!! Larry also called this one....the full show is up now for
replay. What is also really neat is that Brisnet provided a full form
for the race!! .I've saved it as a "souvenir" ....
Spectacular Bid,
Funnycide were also in the race...The finish was really exciting
....Secretariat got stuck in traffic in the stretch but swung around to
the outside and he overcame this and won in a close finish, beating
Seattle Slew with American Pharoah 3rd! Spectacular Bid was 4th...
Mine That Bird did make a run along the rail! The commentary was really
good, too!
Secretariat avrebbe staccato tutti prima dell'ultima curva come fece a Belmont...magari non di 31 lunghezze,ma di 12 sicuramente.
Secretariat had a gear mortal horses didn't have. American Pharaoh is the only other horse who in my lifetime was even close to Secretariat.
Greatest race horse I ever seen in my life time !!!!
I agree! Secretariat is the GOAT!!!
I would love to see the triple crown winners at the Belmont!! We all know who would CRUSH them! "BIG RED"
Secretariats 2:24 in the Belmont stakes is a record that will stand forever!
All three track records will stand forever.
No argument with that . Secretariat was a true super horse in that race !
They’ve shortened Belmont a lot since then either way (for example, Tiz the Law ran 1:46 at a 1.125mi length in 2020), so Secretariat’s is considered an “eternal” world record since we can’t compare times of different race lengths. It was 1.5mi when Secretariat ran it.
@@rxw5520 it don't matter until Tiz puts down a 2:24 on a mile and a half your argument is invalid. So there's that.
@@DarthRainz I think you completely misunderstood my post
In real life, the whip never touched secretariat, not ones in this race and not the other two race either *I believe. If only they can superimpose real footages for all the horses. That would be something.
Turcotte hit Secretariat once, just at the head of the stretch in the Derby. Other than that, I don't think he hit him in any race, and I know he didn't in any Triple Crown race.
We need a video game like this
They have it. Racing comes out late summer. www.equine.gg
The closest is the Winning Post series. Unfortunately, the most current titles haven't been released outside of Japan.
It's a pretty cool rendition but based upon respective times, Secretariat would have won this race by about 100 feet.
Why don't you do this on the Belmont Stakes ???
Nicely done!
Andy Beyer went back and reviewed the '73 Belmont Stakes and assigned a 139 Beyer speed figure for the race; the highest speed rating for any horse.
I think they need to do this again and add justify and see them all run based on the times around the track
justify is in there. look in the description
He isn't a true Triple Crown winner. He had tested positive for drugs but they didn't get the results in time to take the title from him.
Who will win, the title asks. Um, probably the horse that set a race and track record that still stands almost 50 years later.
Amazing recreation pitting Secretariat against the other Triple Crown winners! Happy to see Secretariat won the "Kentucky Derby". Just asking, would you be able to do the same with the Belmont?
I'm sure it's possible but it wouldn't be very suspenseful; everyone would know Secretariat would win, the only question would be the order of finish of the horses behind him.
That horse wasn’t impossible, he was the definition of impossible
Was there any doubt?
Secretariat was, is and will be THE GREATEST RACE HORSE EVEEER
Nope
@@boswindle9050 YEP!
@@garythompson8629 well I can prove ypu wrong but all you will do is bring up 3 races. I will bring up about 10 things.
@@boswindle9050 who do feel is the greatest race horse?
@@garythompson8629 Seattle Slew. The only undefeated Triple Crown winner when he won it in 130 years until Justify in 2018.
Not Big Red, Not Citation none of them were undefeated and won the Triple Crown but Seattle Slew.
He also beat another Triple Crown winner twice.
He was also a 2 year old champion, a 3 year old champion, and a 4 year old champion.
Not even Big Red can say that.
Seattle Slew didn't run the fastest times but he only ran as fast as he needed to.
Like in the Belmont Stakes. Seattle Slew ran Belmont 3 seconds slower than Affirmed but that didn't mean squat head to head.
Usually according to you guys time matters but in Slew's case it really didn't.
I think Secretariat is the best race horse of all time... however, you can never tell just based upon different results the finish time horses would have in a theoretical champions race. Horses like people are motivated and pushed by competition. Every horse is different. You not only have to consider that horses historical highs but the competition that they faced. My own opinion is that Big Red would win a champions race the same way he did the Belmont. If not for Big Red, Sham may have been more successful. And sham was pushing him for about 1/3rd of the race. I would be interested in an analysis of win/place/show statistics for the field that each horse faced.
Nice reenactment! But Secretariat didn’t need no whip!
I LOVE this Race!!!!
Looked official to me..
That's cool, but Secretariat would have been several lengths ahead if they all were their best. Fun to watch though. Thanks.
Your video shows Turcotte going to the whip on Secretariat. He never would have because he never had to. Big Red knew when it was time to hit the gas and run down the opposition. He didn't have to be told or urged.
Secretariat is not in the same league as the others, he is all by himself..Big Red would have won by a larger margin over Citation. in the best of the best at the Derby Citation would have finished about 3 to 5 lengths behind Secretariat. Big Red won the Derby in 1:59. Citation 2:02, Slew 2:02
This was a great dramatization, thank you
What video game is this? If it is one?
It's a virtual race. A bit like how us brits had a "Virtual grand national" after the COVID-19 restrictions meant the real one couldn't take place. Ended well for me as I ended up taking £200 off a £10 bet.
Secretariat the Master Copy
Is the order of arrival based on their actual time at the Kentucky deby?
Does any one have the list of the entire group of horses in this imimaginary race! I wish the whole race was on!
The goat first - citation second. Slew 3rd- American pharaoh 5th. Not sure who ran 4
Is this a actual game
Anybody remember the casino game. …. Sigma derby? I wish the casinos still had them. I used to love playing those about 30 years ago
Yes you bet exacta played one in Aruba 1996
I believe MGM Grand and the D on the strip still have one.
They should’ve just done it with all their actual race times to show just how much faster secretariat was than citation and pharaoh. The reality was much more impressive, and that’s not even considering he wasn’t being pushed that hard.
For example, the actual derby times were (ignore the stupid blue links):
Secretariat 1:59.4
American pharaoh: 2:03.02
Citation: 2:02.4 (wet)
But in the video they’re all within half a second of each other.
Secretariat ran the fastest derby of all time. Affirmed had the second fastest derby time for a triple crown winner (12th place overall all-time fastest derby) with a 2:01.2, 1.8s slower than secretariat.
To convert that to lengths at around 38mph, Secretariat would be roughly 8.5 lengths ahead of Affirmed, and 18 or so lengths ahead of American Pharaoh.
And one more thing: based on actual times, Sham would’ve come in an easy second in this race.
I saw that horse. He would’ve won by more, even over those horses. The only one I saw that was near his quality was the Bid. He was a monster.
By the way, Red wasn’t a middle of the pack horse. He either hammered from behind near the stretch or hammered to the lead and held it.
Secretariat was the best I've ever seen. Yeah, he basically won by the 2 methods you said. It was amazing how no horse, certainly no 3-year-old, ever raced against the clock like he did. When he raced, he was expected to not just win, but break the track record. I would add Dr. Fager along with the Bid at #2. The Doctor was a monster. Of course neither could have touched Sec. at the longer distances.
@@wmg5852 not a criticism of Dr. Fager at all, as I agree with your assessment. When DF set his 1 mile world record, he was a 4 year old, which is arguably the best year any horse has. Secretariat only ever ran two races at a mile, and both races were races that Dr. Fager ran in, so it's a useful comparison, because they were run at the same track. The races were the Champagne and the Gotham. Both horses ran a 1:35:00 in the Champagne, but Secretariat went a full 2 seconds faster in the Gotham (1:33:2 to 1:35:2). If Secretariat had have ran as a four year old, and had been entered in a mile race, he almost certainly would have shattered DF's record.
I would.like to.see the Belmont Stakes In this fashion.
#ยอดม้าโลกทั้งนั้น..สุดยอดที่สุดต้องซีเคร็ททาเรียต👍
Lol the only way the other horses could've come that close to Big Red is through a video game.
Secretariat, best. Easy call. Second best.... Sham. His Kentucky Derby run is still the second fastest ever.
remember secretariat slew and pharoah are all related
Interested in the Belmont!!
Where's Count Fleet?
Yeah secretariat won my fav racehorse
Where can I play this game???
I myself Never inspired any breed after " The Secretariat" . You know why ? Bcz this horse never beaten by jocky in his all races while others beaten by their jockeyzz. Yeah
Secretariat is all time legendary My love.
You got it all wrong, Ron Turcotte never had to whip Secretariat like that, I always noticed in all his races how little Ron had to whip him, and you have that jockey whipping the crap out of that animated Secretariat. He was always hand ridden all the way.
Best throughbred ever!
A cool cool race fun fun fun.big win win Secretariat big win
Like there was ever any doubt.
I believe that’s who would have been first, the rest, I can’t speculate on that , only Secretariat
Do this with Belmont and get back to us 😉
Secretariat is the 🐐.
Best beast ever.
I would argue all day with anyone that said BIG RED was not the best race horse of all time his records will never be broke I GURANTEE SAVVY
None of these horses were beating Big Red.
Is Bold Ruler in this race? It'd be kinda freaky to see Secretariat race his Daddy...😊
It was all the triple crown winners
Bold Ruler was the "Horse of the Decade" Secretariat speed was from Bold Ruler, endurance, from mother side "Something Royal and Grandsire, "Prince Aquillo" Secretariat's Grand Sire, that's what made his Belmont phenomenal...
Is a video game that????
Whomever wrote this software is not a racing fan. Going 5-8 wide in the turn adds at least 30 feet to your travel distance. Grade 1 horses understand & don't do that, it automatically takes you out of contention. This looks like a stampede not a race. It's great someone thought to do this, but horses don't race like this except in movies.
That’s what made Calvin Borel so good
Is a game that????
If Man o War had bothered to run the Derby he'd be the unquestioned GOAT even with the comparative recency bias of Secretariat.
And the other horses would have a chance if Man o War ran with a handicapped weight.
If running with equal weight, the other horses wouldn't catch Man O War even if they were somehow were riding in a Lamborghini.
Where is Secretariats head gear. Hmm
Citation is the🐐
Pretty decent reenactment except that Turcotte never went to the whip on Secretariat.
Secretariat was the greatest athlete of the 20th Century. Human or animal.
Big Brown should have been in this race. He would have been in the front of the pack at the end
Sham would still have been second.
Just look at the times. That's all you need to know.
But his Jockey said he never let Citation loose to go as fast as he could go ... I still believe Secretariat is #1 ..but wouldn't it be interesting if we knew.
I love "BIG CY"
If SeaBiscuit was there..game over. The real champ!
Seattle Slew wins.
The only undefeated Triple Crown winner in 130 years when he won it until 2018.
No other horse in this field can say that
Is there anyone that didn't know the winner before watching the video?
PS
Turcotte did not ever use the whip like that. He used it very sparingly when and if he used it at all. Just saying.
Seattle Slew would have crushed Secretariat as a 4YO
Man O' War ?
I hit the trifecta, ca-ching.
Horse racing kills
Time time time....I keep hearing people say that.
1 second = 5 lengths in horse racing..
So yall are trying to tell me that Affirmed would have beaten Seattle Slew by 15 lengths since he ran the Belmont 3 seconds faster than Seattle Slew?
Apparently the faster horse doesn't mean shit head to head. Slew smashed his ass twice and it wasn't close.
The faster horse Easy Goer beat the crap out of Sunday Silence in the Belmont but lost 4 lost of 6 to Sunday Silence.
Time time time though right. Long as they good on the stopwatch they unbeatable huh..🙄
