The Belmont Race. The greatest display of physical dominance in a sporting event ever recorded in history which I doubt will ever be equaled or surpassed.
Someone mentioned how that race was mythological in nature, surreal. He was a gift to humanity, his records still firmly etched in time, maybe eternity. Sham is my black stallion, but Secretariat was everyone’s.
I have to agree with those that have said about secretariat "on that day no horse could have beaten secretariat" after all 43 yrs later the 1973 belmont record still stands and chances are will forever.
It’s now 47 years later and the Preakness was just run today, it was the last TC race this year and all 3 records still stand. I have a feeling they will be saying that for another 47 years! A filly named Swiss Skydiver won the Preakness this year with the second fastest time ever with 1:53.28, Secretariat’s time was 1:53 flat so it was close, only about a length and a half behind, so congratulations to Swiss Skydiver!
Me...too! I watch It everyday.. the BEST two minutes of the day...What a race, Sham, Secretariat and the calle of TV commentator..all..amazing, after 50 years !!
That tremendous machine was all alone out there. Omg. Goose bumps never fail when I watch him run. I wish I had had a chance to put my arms around that beautiful neck and kiss his face.
he was amazing no doubt not just for a time but thinking will their be another horse like him, it's quite possible never" heard his heart was almost twice the size of most horses, with that being said" he will be greatest of all time* love ya big red RIP
Some say Secretariat was never much of a sire. Right. BUT, he was top five broodmare sire for a long while. What Secretariat had to offer to the breed can only really be passed on through his daughters, the big heart gene. Secretariat, and others like him, have to be in the right place on a pedigree to make this contribution. Secretariat was more of a breed builder than sire of race horses, and that big heart mutation had to go to his filly line first to be useful. When you can produce a filly with two copies of the big heart gene, you have a stakes horse factory called a "blue hen."
Some say Secretariat was never much of a sire. Let me qualify this further. Secretariat did not sire great horses like himself, but he did sire a few good ones. A.P. Indy and Storm Cat very much benefitted having Secretariat close up in their pedigree, and in just the right placement to inherit a copy of the big heart gene to pass along.
The filmmakers did a wonderful job of casting their equine actors, but one does wish Justify had been born and old enough to play his great great (great great) gramps. That stride isn't easy to fake!!
I totally agree with Secretariat being a one of a kind horse that ever galloped the face of this earth but that part of prophet Job is just hear say. No one knows what was before us or what is after us - just like with some human creations, other creatures are born with certain God-Given Natural capabalities -but THAT IS BETWEEN THE CREATOR AND HIS creations. There may be other horses in the world that can be compared to Secretariat- we'll never know as Only The Creator Knows The Truth of ALL. 🙂Peace
Sham broke down in this race, and never ran again. Terrible shame because he was a great horse too. In fact, Sham and Red were cousins! Reds mom was Somethinroyal out of Princequillo, a great speed AND distance runner, and Shams mom was Sequoia out of Princequillo.
Frankel was a really good horse and he definitely belongs in the top 10 of best ever! But the number one spot can only go to one horse, the king of the of the sport of kings, Secretariat
@@lorrainelloyd7750 Secretariat could come from dead last, the middle of the Pack, or he could win running in front all the way. Secretariat also won on turf or dirt and holds many race records, a track record and a world record. I dont know if MOW has any records.
While I'm not a Frankel fan and think, er, KNOW Man O'War is the greatest, thanks for your comment!!!!! 48 years of listening to factless bullying Secretariat fans.
@@lorrainelloyd7750 there isnt enough good footage to say MOW was the greatest. Secretariat is the greatest as he has all the race records in the Triple crown.
There has never been anything like Secretariat. There is nothing now like Secretariat. There never will be anything like Secretariat. He still holds the record in the 3 Triple Crown races. All 3 were amazing but the Belmont ventured into the impossible! When they talk about people crying in the stands, I believe it because I was crying in the living room! It's a hard thing, to see the impossible! But what about poor Sham. I believe he also beat the previous times in the Derby and Preakness. If not for running against the Super Horse, Sham would probably have won the Triple Crown. That's just another testament to how great Secretariat was, he beat another super horse to win the Triple Crown! R.I.P. Secretariat. You gave us all a gift to cherish for the rest of our lives!

When The Trumpet Sounds Big Red Runs like the Wind Beautiful, Smart The Greatest Ever

The greatest horse ever mind blowing speed there will never be another like him. I watch this movie everyday

King of the wind....the greatest race horse of all time. He's my hero...
He and Sham are my heavenly pillars, unbelievably inspiring.
@@Psyfi85 Do you know Phar Lap? Watch the movie about him. He will take your breath away...
@@margaretlally9747 of course, he was always overlooked in some circles. Didn’t realize they made a film about him.

The greatest race horse, that ever lived. Secretariat.
Never be another horse like Big Red

He sired Lady's Secret and Risen Star who missed out on winning the triple crown by a smidge
Not just the Belmont. Secretariat could run on any type of track, in any type of weather or any distance. There was nothing he could not do in a race.
The most amazing horse to step on this earth wow x incredible no hirse will ever win like tahat again I would bet my life on it !
Love him forever
Moving like a tremendous machine.
The filmmakers did a wonderful job of casting their equine actors, but one does wish Justify had been born and old enough to play his great great (great great) gramps. That stride isn't easy to fake!!
Excellent !!!! a master at producing videos that complement the story perfectly!
Thank you!

The best ever ! Case closed............
Um monstro, uma lenda, uma tremenda máquina!
Legend
the best
Secretariat was great. But, let's not forget the legendary jockey that rode him. R.I.P. both you two!
Ron Turcotte is still alive.
@@ronpreston8444 scared me for a minute! 😳

What is truly sad to me is the fact that we only got a small and fleeting glimpse of what this horse was capable of doing when the trumpet sounded 😪
Christ will return riding Secretariat.
At about 2/3 the way Sham was done all pooped out.
Sham broke down in this race, and never ran again. Terrible shame because he was a great horse too. In fact, Sham and Red were cousins! Reds mom was Somethinroyal out of Princequillo, a great speed AND distance runner, and Shams mom was Sequoia out of Princequillo.
@@foots-qt4pk Adore Sham, made my day to find out Risen Star is buried next to him. Races start and end, but family is forever.
@@Psyfi85 He brpke a bone in one of his legs. It's amazing he finished the race.
@@astrid703 indeed, fractured cannon bone. Found it officially 2 weeks later
No one! No one has ever pointed out the flag. He was running into the wind down the backstretch
The best until Frankel
Frankel was a really good horse and he definitely belongs in the top 10 of best ever! But the number one spot can only go to one horse, the king of the of the sport of kings, Secretariat
When you consider all factions, Secretariat. Frankel comes in about 6th of all time greats
Fractions?? He usually came from behind and oh you Secretariat fans and the Belmont!!!
Best until…until God creates another perfect horse.
@@lorrainelloyd7750 Secretariat could come from dead last, the middle of the Pack, or he could win running in front all the way. Secretariat also won on turf or dirt and holds many race records, a track record and a world record. I dont know if MOW has any records.
Until Frankel came along.

Find a job that you love doing, and you'll never work a day in your life....Big Red's job was to win.....and he did his job...#BIGREDFOREVER
