Secretariat - Triple Crown Races - High Quality (Rare Footage)

When it comes to things that are Truly Epic, Secretariat is definitely at the top of the list, who agrees?

People forget how great a horse Sham was. He had the unfortunate luck of racing at the same time as the greatest horse to ever live.

1973...it's now 2022 and I STILL get chills watching the greatest horse EVER!

It's 2024, and I still watch Secretariat, 51 years later.

Everyone is in awe of his Belmont run, but in the Preakness we saw shades of what was to come. He went wide and from the rear passed everyone, then accelerated away from Sham at the finish. Truly a magnificent animal the likes of which we likely will never see again. I’m so glad it all exists on film!

The fact that he still holds the record in all three Triple Crown races nearly 50 years later is astounding

Couple interesting notes —. The field gets smaller every race, as the other trainers realize there is not much point in trying to beat Secretariat. Secretariat did something which is not supposed to be possible, running negative splits from start to finish. Literally every furlong he ran was faster than the one before — he accelerated the entire race. He holds race records in all three races, and no other horse has been within 2 seconds of his time in the Belmont, which is an eternity in horse racing. Truly an extraordinary creature, who over the years has elicited a remarkably emotional response in people who’ve watched his races. For me the Belmont was the greatest achievement I’ve ever witnessed in 60 plus years watching sports, and 35 years working in sports. An indelible memory.

I never get tired watching that big red horse run. There will never be another like him. What a heart

In another 100 years they'll still be watching this horse.

"He is moving like a tremendous machine!" Gets me every time.

“He is moving like a tremendous machine!” Most iconic sentence in racing history I say.

“He is moving like a tremendous machine.” The greatest sports call EVER. EVER.

It brings tears to my eyes every time I watch footage of Secretariat running. What a horse!!!!

I remember watching this race with my father. He asked me what horse I thought would win. When I saw him walk the track I told my Dad look at Secretariat his rear end looks taller than his front end. He will be running downhill. I'm picking him. Little did I know then the true power of this magnificent creature. So huge so graceful so much heart. Dad and I watched the entire triple crown . At the Belmont he had me in tears. My Dad had a big smile when I looked at him. It was a bonding time for us. Never will forget it. Thank You Dad. I miss You.

Here we are 49 years later and Secretariat still owns all 3 Triple Crown track records!!!

“Secretariat is all alone!” Yes, he certainly is. All the horses are gorgeous and powerful, but there is something special about Secretariat that gives you goosebumps. If the Belmont were any longer he might have taken flight.

God decided to make the perfect horse. And we were lucky enough to witness it. Nothing but gratitude. ❤

"Secretariat is in a position that he's impossible to catch" and 49 years later he still is.

Never has a horse wanted to win more than the great Secretariat! One of a kind!

There’s nothing left to be said about Secretariat. Still record holder in all three races. It’s 51 years since,….and it’s going to another 51 years and people will say, “Secretariat still holds the records, from 1973.” The Legend.
