Mike and Louise Sullivan traveled to Claiborne Farm and got to meet SECRETARIAT in person one on one! So cool that this film was included in the Estate Sale and I am so happy to save it and share it with everyone for historical references.

Great memories! I played with him several times at Claiborne. At 3:25-3:30 you see him pick up a stick, a favorite game of his. We played tug-of-war with one. He loved cameras, + decided when he wanted his picture taken. He even pretended to eat grass, to mess with his grooms or admirers. He was SO smart + fun. Everyone loved him.
The horse with the bite cage was probably Hoist the Flag, great grandson of Man O War. He survived a bad injury, his paddock was close to Secretariat's.
Wow…what a blessing to these memories!
The greatest racehorse in history !! His records still stand after 50 years and the Belmont record will stand FOREVER!!😅😅😅 So glad I was alive to watch those races as a 17 year old !!! Nothing cheers me up more now then to watch them again!!!
What a magnificent work of God, Secretariat brings joy to my heart, this horse is a GOAT!!
I love that horse.
It will be 50 years this year when on June 9, 1973 the day before my 20th birthday he won the Triple Crown winning the Belmont. In my opinion it's the greatest race in horse racing history and by doing so he entered immortality. His time has never been broken. Yeah he was beaten a few times, but when he was right no horse could touch him. Not just another horse, but one of the greatest athletes I have ever seen in my lifetime. One of my biggest regrets and I only have a few is I never got a chance to see him in person.
GREATEST is relative to historical perspective..Eclipse was undefeated and often unchallenged. Citation, Man O'War, Ribot, and others were not any second class group. the mare who won the Melbourne Cup several times, the Hugarnina mare who was undefeated. Many of the older English Champions rivaled his records St Simon, Ormonde, Nearco, Bahram, Pharis then Frankel and Personal Ensign along with Ruffian
Yes, the GOAT for sure! The nay sayers always come up with their rebuttles but no other horse captured the heart of a country, and a good part of the world, the way he did. I don't think any horse could have beaten him that day at the Belmont, and he did it on his own, Ronnie was just along for the ride.
How we love him!
One of the best athletes the world has ever seen.
Oh my sweet and beautiful Secretariat, I was never able
to see you in person at Claiborne Farm, love you as long as I am alive,
my "BIG RED💕and hope to see you in our next life❤my wonderful one!
I was very fortunate as a young teenager to see Secretariat race a few times in Baltimore. He was so much larger and muscular than the other horses. He would prance for me when I called his name, Big Red, when he went out to the starting gate area. He was so beautiful and smart.
He Sure Did Have The Most Beautiful and Expressive Eyes Without A Doubt. 🥰❤️🥰❤️
He was exquisite perfection. The champion of all champions. And most of all, he was ours. The people's horse. Because we adored him.
Great video ! I could watch Secretariat all day every day ! Thank you for the chance to see him at Claiborne.
You're welcome. Once I saw the content of the old film reel I knew I HAD to convert it to digital and share it with the world! Thanks for your comment!

Patrick, I am here to watch "Big Red" again, thank you!
Superb athleticism, handsome, mischievous and charming. this is such a good film. love the silence.
very therapeutic. a magnificent creature
What wonderful images, what a wonderful place.... and what a magnificent creature, gods creature!!
What a beautiful color and conformation he had. His eyes so sharp, and his posture so noble. I love how he posed for his fans when he noticed them. And Penny did say he loved his food - he spent the whole video eating! I guess he earned it.
Wow !!! Thank you for sharing. I can't get enough of the great horse ❤️
You are most welcome!
Wow the close ups of him are just warming to the heart. So handsome and playful.
Almost 51 years later, and the most of his records still stand. I was a 16 year old when I saw Secretariat win the Triple Crown. My dad bet me $50 double or nothing that Secretariat would not win the Belmont. Dad paid me $100. I have all of the magazines that Secretariat is on the covers of before the Belmont----Time, Sports Illustrated, and Newsweek. He was the GOAT indeed. (Jan Griffiths).
49 years since the greatest triple crown race was run, thanks for posting this!💞
And this one horse still holds the record at all 3 of those races…
I visited Claiborne Farm a few years ago and often thought what it must of been like to see Big Red up close in his paddock when we walked past it on our tour. Now I know. Thank you! ❤️🐎❤️
His halter should have been made of GOLD
Thank you so much for this video! The One And Only Big Red!
Secretariat also had a Beautiful and Gorgeous Face and head, on top of his Strong
Thick Neck.
God, Everything About Him Was Stand Out, And Over The Top Magnificent !!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Greatest Ever. Majestic
Thank u so very much for this.
I'm sad that I missed the opportunity to go see him...I'm envious that these folks got to...Great film footage of him Great !!
THE GREATESS OF ALL. BIG RED RIP
The whole world watched this race! I think it was one of the best there ever was or well be!
I was a kid with a horse when I watched Secretariat make those runs!! He didnt run he FLEW! ALL FOURS OFF THE GROUND! the HEART of a champion!! Always in my memories! LOVE IT! THANKQ FOR POSTING THIS!
Cannot thank you enough for posting this...He is magnificent!
Thank you for the kind comment!
The best racehorse that ever lived. His one quirk was that he hated roses.
The truest greatest American Athlete! Who never took a knee, Never a disappointment! One of my greatest memories of my childhood in a country called America... On the 9th of June 1973 this nine-year-old little boy told his daddy he wanted to ride the greatest horse ever Secretariat Big Red ! The most loved most admired greatest racehorse ever won the triple crown!
Patrick PJ Cook, Thank you for the beautiful video footage ❤❤
What amazing footage . This should have over a million views . I have never seen this footage . Silent footage or not … his majestic presence is felt . He was so smart and you can see his personality . Greatness from God
It Flabbergasts me when I think of how muscled he was. It was like Secretariat was a Body Builder, because he was
Muscled Up All Over Like One.
There are other horses that are probably just as famous but that is because of the internet. No other horse made the front cover of three national magazines. The GOAT
surely, his physical power and perfection, his stride that was twice that of the rest, his heart that pumped twice as much blood, and the unique display never seen on another horse in the Belmont race, surely make him the best horse ever seen
@@johnylopez yes I agree. 💯👍
His golden heart was 2.5 times bigger than the other horses. Incredible! A true perfect creature of God.
On the track Sec was a beast taking no prisoners. Off the track he was a gentle and kind horse, never biting, never kicking.
Statistics don’t lie, to this day, he has run the fastest THREE LEGS of the Triple Crown. Surely the greatest thoroughbred of all time.
Didn’t think it was possible, but I have fallen in love with a horse called Secretariat! His name is also the greatest of all time!
Obviously you don't like history, because Man O'War is the greatest. And the Preakness time was stolen, like Man O' War's nickname.
They did not run him afterwards because they made more money studding him. That's incredible. He could have gone at least another season.
@@ciaovinnie6457 You know what, as much as I think Man O'War is the greatest and I'll defend him to the death, I never wonder what he would have done at 4, but I do Secretariat. To see him being led to Claiborne, it's just a crime. What WOULD he have done at 4, if he went to Europe, how would he have done, in let's say, the Arc. Just a crime that talent was dismissed to stand in a stall and breed.
@@challloyd215 collective eye roll
@@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973 Sorry for you. Don't give yourself a headache.
Me and my moms rescued failed race horse has secretariat blood lines lol, my grandfather was also an extra in the movie and meet him and person. He got to keep a brush he used, we still have is in a glass case 😂😂😂
No other horse like him ever
Thank you for sharing Patrick!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I would have loved to have seen him in person. He was definitely the Horse God Built. ❤
The LEGEND no racehorse more famous than SECRATARIAT he holds track records for every TRIPLE CROWN RACE it'll 50 years and counting his records have held and it'll be another 50 before we ever see a horse like SECRATARIAT the GOAT
The world will never see another Secretariat.
Truthfully, I don't think that we will ever will see another horse like him. NEVER !! Rest in Blessed Slumber Big Red.❤️❤️❤️🥰😍🥰😍❤️❤️❤️🕸️
What a beauty!!!
Secretariat definitely was a Warrior On The Track.
Bar None.
Thank you!
I imagine some of these horses are his offspring..this is great footage
When Secretariat would be just walking away from you, it reminded me of a cool casual Dean Martin swagger in a way, just to put it in a human comparison, if you know what I mean.❤️
I also Loved Dean Martin. ❤️
This is great footage of the most beautiful horse ever. Second best horse ever but number 1 in looks!!! I'll always be sorry I didn't visit him or Easy Goer. Bid I saw at Santa Anita. I actually left a friend's wedding reception because it was Bid's last race in California!
Thank you for sharing this video with us. He was a truly remarkable horse. God's perfect horse.
This is awesome footage, sure wish't there was sound and narration !!
What year was this footage filmed?
Kind of like no sound in this case, feels more intimate. Like we’re watching him graze in his paddock by ourselves. Man, he sure was handsome.
Finally made it to his grave two years ago...visited his paddock.
"Where's the trailer? Isn't anyone here to take me to the track?" ^_^
Gracias por compartir este video.
He was and is so much more than just a race horse.
Okay Steve, then so what is he? He is a great race horse. Nothing more, nothing less. That is what he is. GOAT
@@CamaroKidd2022 He is the Best there ever was and most likely ever will be, that horse moved a nation. I was 10 years old and was at my family's grocery store which was usually packed on a Saturday afternoon and there was no one there and no cars on the road, everyone was home watching Secretariat run the Belmont. We didn't have a customer for like 20 minutes, my dad let me bring a little black and white tv to work and we watched it. The next morning we sold out of the Sunday newspaper in 45 minutes which had Secretariat on the front page. We had hundreds of newspapers and most of the time we would have a few left at the end of the day. People talked about Big Red for weeks. I never seen that store empty before or after . Secretariat is the people's horse. Most people can't name a race horse but they know who Secretariat is.
Nice words right to the matter of fact. Looking and reviewing the Secretariat Saga and Phenomenon as an adult now vs. a 12 year old when it unfolded it seems like it was just a front to shadow his real mission ... it was the Superhorse who singlehandedly humiliated and shamed Nixon and ran him out of the white house. The wrath he unleashed on the fraud began after his spectacular Preakness win, namely the Secretariat for President bumper sticker and button, the other button Breed More Secretariats, that scathing Art Buchwald Secretariat column in newspapers, and his fans calling the planes he flew on Air Horse One. Watergate boiled over at the same time, and all of a sudden nixon was just a caricature to be made fun of especially in Time, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone, just imagine the shame when he beheld the Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated Secretariat issues in his dirty hands. On Belmont Day nixon could not take the heat any longer and fled DC to Florida in to the arms of his favorite crying towel Bebe Robozo. I really believe that nixon rooted against him that day, and the humiliating wrath of the Superhorse reached its zenith when he was crowned KIng on June 9. When he returned to the Belmont Grandstand to be honored the message was clear no words needed ......"See folks I'm just a racehorse playing in a game I can win, but you folks, the silent majority as your ill fated leader calls you are playing in a game you can't win and it is time for you all to wise up".
Wonderful video!
Both Horse and GOAT.
I wonder how his first few days were at Claiborne, not seeing Eddy Sweat, Charlie ,pony Bill Silver, Reeva and others must have been strange for him. I still watch all of his races, never gets old! He is very missed.
He looked pretty heavy. Probably a dry lot would have been better for him. If I remember right, he was put down do to laminitis. He was the all time Greatest ❣️ No horse to date has ever come close. RIP 🏇
I never noticed his three white socks before they mentioned it.
Awesome! Probably the old Hi 8 film right?
El mejor dé todos los tiempos Grasias por subir esté video
I don’t agree he is the most famous in history but one of the most in history
Personality plus!
49 yrs ago. My my. Where did it all go
Yea, he lost 5 times but he still holds the fastest times in the triple crown. That equals the GOAT
4 times and one was a bogus disqualification of a reace he won and two others he was sick and shouldn't have run
@@rossrubino9080 Secretariat lost 5 times, not 4. I would imagine he lost some races just from being so tired from racing all the time. He raced an average of more then 1 time per month and 2 times he was raced on 9 days rest. They practically ran him to death!
@@CamaroKidd2022 he lost 4 times and was DQ'd once. The rest of your statement is incorrect.
@@barbarascotto3873 he lost 5 times lady. A DQ is a loss. Don't be stupid.
If you look at Secretariat's
Beautiful And Masterful Blaze, The Shape Of It, Reminds Me Of A Warriors Shield.
Take a Look For Yourself, And See If You See In It, What I Do.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
حصان رائع وانى أمتلك فرس تعتبر حفيدة البطل سكرتاريت الحصان الذى حفر اسمه فى التاريخ
I love my Thoroughbred Gallopers but Secretariat is possibly the greatest AMERICAN racer ever,to be the greatest of all they need to have run in multiple countries eg PHAR LAP CIGAR ETC ETC
Or Cool Saunter.
I’m kind of curious how the photographer got this film because they are not with the tour but off by themselves and I can’t imagine that Claiborne farms was ok with anyone standing there feeding a horse if this value anything, even grass -unless they really knew these people.
Yes, they really did know the owners quite well. I got the film from their Estate Sale and digitized it to share with FANS of Secretariat as there are so many Worldwide and I knew so many would love to see these precious insights.
Poor guy, wearing the bucket of shame! This is to stop him from eating grass, to prevent laminitis -- and it appears to be a different horse, not Big Red.
Hi do you know what year this recording was taken?😊
Sorry, I do not...
@@PJCookAC-130 Oh do not worry! Thanks for this, there aren't many videos like this and this one looks great❤️
I guess there is no vocal in this.
Does this video have any narration or sound?
No, I purchased it at an Estate Sale and converted the original 8mm reel to mp4 video to share with everyone.
Is that one of Secretariat's babys in the film ?
Was wondering the same. Wish I knew what year this was, it’s totally possible. Sired 600 + foals
Patrick, I forgot to ask already: do you have any idea what year this Claiborne visit occurred? I’m curious to know what Secretariat’s age was at the time (he was born in 1970). Thanks much in advance!
Me too, I was wondering what year this was. It's AWESOME
If I had to guess by looking at him and how Claiborne looks in this video and the brunette woman's hairdo I'd guess sometime between 1975 and 1976. Maybe even 1974. Definitely before 1980.
@@mikemadunic7960 Thank you. So, the beautiful boy was still a young stud at that time 😄
@@jm1657 That's what I'm guessing. I don't know that for sure, but as I said from the looks of the surroundings, the clothing and hairstyles and Secretariat himself, it looks to be mid to late 1970s.
@@mikemadunic7960 I remember being in the infield may of 1973 looked up and seen 159/2/5
😆👍
Any Idea who the horse with the muzzle at :57 is?
I believe that horse is Secretariat's uncle Round Table, whose sire Princequillo is Secretariat's maternal grandfather.
@@gspot3706 I was thinking that too. Round table had a reputation for being nasty
Tengo tres fotos de secretaria alguien me puede informar si tienen valor dos ya se me rompió el cristal una está entera
Are those Secreteriat's children?
Uknown. I bought the 8mm film at an estate sale and digitized it to share with the world. Too priceless to let it fade away...had to save it with everyone! Enjoy!
@@PJCookAC-130 Insane find! Thanks so much for sharing!
I wish this video had sound.
NO AUDIO!
Correct! Converted over to digital from 8mm that had no audio...sorry that is the way I bought it!
Am I the only one who thinks all breeding stallions would benefit from being ridden 3 or 4 days a week to keep them muscled up and not bored ? It would give them something to look forward to. I’m sure any of Secretariat’s exercise riders would have been honored with the “task” or getting him out. I know they were concerned about possible injuries out on the exercise track but truthfully, they can get injured in the paddocks too. Plus it may have kept his weight down and kept him from getting laminitis. Just a thought.
Slow down there, say man of war and 100 years later now people will know the race horse, say Secretariat and people will probably say ,is that the something in Israel government unless their race Fan's.
THE great NORTHERN DANCER, more than goose rump sec equal, in racing, in importance dancer is light years ahead for breeding, and lifting the breed to the 21st century, not sec., look at the record books, people around the WORLD, that are trainers, breeders, owners, know who the king is, the greatest, NORTHERN DANCER.
Yes, that is fascinating for sure. Just a brilliant marketing campaign that is still going today. Most famous, I agree. The best? Not even close. The wonders of Marketing in full bloom
The horse has held the track record at ALL 3 Triple Crown races for over 50 years now, on video for all to see. Is that the so-called "marketing campaign" you're referring to?
Sadly,nothing great came out of him i.e his progeny.
I’ve seen it said on videos that a few of his daughters did well. I guess the large heart gene wasn’t passed to any of his progeny that had a chance in the racing world.
Not true. He sired General Assembly & Risen Star, who were major stakes winners, But it's as a broodmare sire that he truly made his mark. His daughter Terlingua, produced Storm Cat, and another daughter Weekend Surprise produced AP Indy both very prolific sires
@@camdensubdivision3020 sir,im talking about greatness.non of his progeny reached a known greatness.there maybe a few group 1 winners from him,here and there.but,nothing came to match his greatness or even closer.
If you look at the foal photo his great physical came from his mom! It took Chenery from 1934 until1970 to breed the mare who produced the masterpiece of Secretariat. My dad as a boy lived in Richmond VA and walked barefoot from his Grandmothers house through the woods to watch the horses train on the racetrack Chris Chenery built during the Depression. It’s one sided thinking to think only the Sire line is important when the dam is what made this great horse. A lesson to breeders everywhere!
@@ahmedalsaaidi3714
Ahmed, even if you had a son or a daughter with the same mother, I doubt you can duplicate anything like you, unless you produce identical twins, otherwise Its just impossible...
Your title is misleading. Secretariat was one of the best, not the best.
Greatest racehorse was Man O' War
Yes we all have our favorites & they were both magnificent thoroughbreds but my choice will always be Secretariat, Nex year will be 50 years for his Triple Crown win & no other horse has come close ❤️
