@@jm1657 He’s very healthy and happy at 17 years old. He’s a bay. I ride him on a regular basis mostly out in the desert and barefoot. He’s got real good feet for a thoroughbred. His Jockey club name is Deification. I call him Lucky. His father is Empire Maker and that makes him a brother to American Pharaoh. He got hurt his very first race in 2009 and went to a rehab ranch That’s where I found out about him and adopted him when he became available. Thanks for checking on him🤠
Owning copies of all three Sports Illustrated ,Newsweek, and Time in my collection. They are all dated June 11th, 1973, on the covers. The win at the Belmont was on June 9th. I'm sure the stories were being written at the time he was racing in all 3 of the Triple Crown races.
@@Randy-uv6btBoy, talk about pressure on Secretariat’s team. All 3 major magazines hitting the stands BEFORE the Belmont Stakes was run!! Thank goodness Big Red was more than up to the title of ‘Super Horse’ 🥇🏆
Secretariat’s daughters have produced champion after champion. His best son, Risen Star, won the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. His best daughter on the track was Lady’s Secret….Breeders Cup and eclipse award winner. His best female producers has a long list of champions and stakes winners. Secretariat never reproduced himself but how could he? None of the really great ones ever really reproduced themselves, except for perhaps, Bold Ruler.
His heart was 4 times the size, not 2. Sham’s heart was 2 times the size of a normal horse, hence why he could keep up for a while, way ahead of the others.
There will never be another like him. ❤
That's for sure, RIP the Great Secretariat..❤❤
There is no horse comparable to secretariat. His looks, his conformation, the way he moves, his charisma, outshines every horse everywhere.
My thoroughbred is a great great grandson of Secretariat via his mother Adoration.
I hope he’s healthy & happy! Is he a Chestnut, like Big Red?

I believe that Time Magazine cover story came before, not after, the triple crown races.
John, yes you are right. I think all of those magazines featured Big Red leading up to the test of a champion. Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated.

Northern Dancer produced Nijinsky and Man O’ War sired War Admiral.
Yes. The fact that Man O' War sired a triple crown winner is amazing. MOW was also the grandsire of Seabiscuit. @@johnhoie1
His Daughter is one of only two broodmares that produced two different winners of the triple crown races.
Yes His grandson storm cat went on to be a Great Sire
Storm cat
God created the perfect horse
Shout out to the random Fjord who will definitely NEVER race, but could beat any Thoroughbred at eating.

no, his was 20+lbs something, shams was a little bit less. Stop with 4xs the size, that's just dumb
It was a fraction more than twice the size
He was not greater than Man O' War, but I'd hate to live on the difference!!!
We needed a hero after Nam
