Poor Sham. He would have been one of the greatest horses ever. Except he just happened to be born in the same generation as Big Red
-
I am one of those that watching these videos of Secretariat, becomes emotional. He was the greatest racehorse that ever lived and to hear Penny say from Secretariats perspective: "I've won your race now I'm going to show you what I can do on a mile and a half track" sends chills up my spine.

Why do I always get so choked up when I see the Belmont race? I know what the outcome is yet it still gets to me EVERY time!!!
-
HOW could they rank Secretariat #2 horse of all time. That baffles me. This is the most amazing horse ever. there will never be another SECRETARIAT
-
I had the honor of meeting Secretariat. He wasn’t particularly interested in me, but it was a pleasant meeting, and I have a nice photo of the two of us.
-
NEVER will there be another Secretariat. NEVER.
-
Secretariat provided some off the greatest moments of awe in Americas history.
-
It's like he was toying with them in the first 2 races, then said to h3ll with it at Belmont.
-
My favorite athlete of all times

I was at the Preakness in the infield. My friend and I watched all the "pre-races" then came "Big Red." I had never been to a horse race before, never experienced the sound of the horses heavy breathing, the sound of their hooves. The in-field crowd was going crazy and running toward the finish line. Yes, I was there and I will never in my life forget this!

I never get tired of seeing this horse run.My Dad is the best horseman I've ever known. He taught me the love of the horse by the seat of my pants. He and i watched this race both of us jumping up and down with pure excitement over this unbelievable horse.My Dad passed away at 89. Every time i see this horse run i can hear my Dad hollering as he broke away run boy you run. Golden days you best enjoy them! Buck Mann I miss you and cant wait to see you again.

I was at the paddock. at Winsor Riding Academy at Tampa Downs, (a subdivision). I had a friend who rode Equestrian riding. They had a TV on watching the beginning of the Belmont. As Secretariat was pulling away from Sham, and running faster and faster, you could hear a pin drop. Like everyone else watching the race, with gaping mouths. I murmured, "this is nuts." How can this be? To this day it's still one of the greatest events I have ever witnessed. At 66 years old, I can truly say that.
-
The difficult thing with choosing the greatest horse of all time is that Secretariat only raced for two years. He was just coming into his prime. Heaven only knows what we would have seen if he had continued to race for a couple more years.
-
Chills every time he takes the first big lead.
-
I literally cry everytime I see that Belmont race! Simply unreal. He will always be the greatest horse that ever lived, or will live. We will simply never see that again. I still adore him and his legacy and will pass it on to my kids and their kids and their kids; kids :-) RIP magnificent, beautiful boy!!!
-
Cry everytime I watch the regal Secretariat. One for the ages never to be repeated. RIP sweet boy.❤
-
There are only two sporting events where I get emotional watching time and again, The Miracle On Ice and watching Secretariat pulling away from the field at the Belmont Stakes. So blessed I got to witness both, He will always be the best in my book.

Its a shame that Sham doesnt get the credit he deserves. He had to compete against a freak of nature and still kept up. If Secretariat had come a year earlier or later, Sham would have been a Triple Crown Winner also. That would be like asking the fastest player in sports to race and beat Usain Bolt. Sham was a great horse, but he was no Secretariat.
