I didn’t know American pharaoh,was the great great grandson of secretariat. Well, secretariat didn’t get much applause for breeding good stallions, but apparently his bloodline down the road created some great stallions. Of course we know that his mares were great.
I own a GRANDSON of Secretariat! He is by his most famous son, Risen Star! He is 29 years old, and will be 30, this coming May 29th, 2021. He is line bred , also back to Secretariat. His dam is Come Gailly, by Sir Gaylord, who is Secretariat's Half Brother! I think my Gelding may be the CLOSEST living relative to Secretariat. His name is Starcome, and he was foaled at Walmac International, in Kentucky, May 29, 1992.
I have Secratariats great great grandson "Talkinboutyou" saved him from slaughter..his great grandfathers are Seattle Slew and Alydar congratulations to you
What a treat to see Secretariats great-great grandaughter, as I was blessed in actually seeing him as a one year old, and purely by accident. I did not know anything about his story or horse racing for that matter, as somehow my friend and I were coming home on a 96 hour pass. We did notice one thing though, and it was his ability to go from a full stop to 30 mph, in a matter of seconds. Wow! I never witnessed a horse doing that my friend said, and remember that so well, as my buddy was a farm boy. The people on the farm were so kind to us, and they could not even comprehend how we got that lost. There were no gps or calculators back then. The rest is history and we both followed this clown of a horse the rest of his life and loved him as much as anyone, other than the man that took care of him from day to day. The day he was sent to the other side was so sad for us, and still believe they could have done something else to save him. I have my own thoughts on this, but it was not only pain involved in putting him down. I believe it because of insurance on Secretariat and poor barn hygiene. Just Saying
The owners did not take care of Big Red as they should have. That's the way it is with the horses, once they retire, when they no longer bring the big revenue. RIP beautiful Secretariat....
Why do you feel this way. Long retured and valuable as a sure at 19 why would they put him down for other reasons. He wasn't a racing threat or as a sure as the choices were countless. There's nothing to gain only loss at his demise. Just curious your thoughts. Laminitiis separating the hoof wall is extremely painful with blood pooling in the feet causing fever in all four is excruciating for an animal that spends over 95 percent of their life standing. There are treatments but no cure and I understand by the time it was recognized it was quite advanced. He was extremely valuable as a sire and at 19 his insurance value had declined to eagerness vs his value as a sire. I can't see the advantages of putting him down. Tourism alone was still flourishing and continues long after his death. I'm not disputing you. I'm just trying to understand your reasoning. Penny was still with us and terribly fond of him as was the Hancocks who continue to have a squeaky clean racing name among many who have been long gone or blackened by controversy.
@@the_jackal622 Secretariat was a valuable sure and tourist attraction and under care of Mr. Hancock a premier racing family that has a clean name and record ti date. The late pictures and film of Secretariat show a well nourished bright eyed spirited horse. Laminiyis can strike for no reason at all though many think foundering is the only cause. Age coupled with his size are 2 main culprits that could have plagued secretariat. His racing career was only the one season and Penny felt he was just finding himself when they retired him as a coming on 4 year old. He was worth millions fir breeding purposes and tourism. Why di you think he lacked proper care? He was certainly worth more to them alive than euthanized. Laminitis can strike the best of cared for horses and doesn't discriminate. It attacks those with great or poor care. Unfortunately the separating of the hoof wall often doesn't respond well to treatment in older horses. Standing becomes extremely painful and tough the choice I'm sure they made the but painful choice to let him go as a humane decision. Why do you think he recieved improper care? He was syndicated for over 6 million dollars as a sire before he won the Derby. He was needing top care to produce foals and be an acceptable sire. Breeders wouldn't dare pay that kind of money for a ravaged poorly cared for animal. The hancocks today are still the cream of racing and where Secretariat lived out his days. Seth Hancock was and is a fine a horseman in the business as his father was and as his son has become. I was curious why and where you got information he wasn't cared for properly. Everytime I saw him he was fir healthy and quite pampered. It was because they had to contain him on a leash to prevent him from running. If ever let go he would run aggravating the laminitus. Rather than contain the bird in a cafe they chose the more humane approach. The pain and not being able to allow him to run where deciding factors on euthanizing Secretariat. May he RIP.
He was bringing even bigger revenue than when he raced as a breeding dire and tourism. He made special appearances above that drawing 10s of 1000s. He wasn't just sold off and forgotten. He lived a pampered life of luxury and still valuable as a sire at 19.
@@georgiagirl1961 Thank you for your reply, but I read years ago that Big Red was not exercise enough and began to gain excessive weight, from eating enormous amounts of grass. I guess we will never know, and leave it at that. Thank you Tammy
Will be more his gggrandkids moveing to live as alot of ranning races and will place live when retire in years come and I am sure more are red like him it cool to know got be same home he was in life time
General Assembly was a golden chestnut while Secretariat was a red chestnut. The General held the Travers Stakes record till it was broken by the big grey Arrogate.
Her only link to Secretariat is Terlingua, his most-famous daughter. Groundshaker has a lot of Northern Dancer and Native Dancer, especially on her dam's side.
The most successful runner that is actually a daughter of Secretariat is Lady's Secret. The little grey dynamo that even beat the boys. If you colored her chestnut and put the same markings on her she would very closely resemble him in conformation. Same roman nose, same sort of goose rump. Same general proportions.
I have a great great granddaughter of secretariat also. She's chestnut like Secretariat. She has a white blaze and one white sock. Shes 15 years old rescued from slaughter and has Secretariat on top and bottom in her pedigree. Her strongest lineage is Secretariat at .70. She also has legends like Buck Passer, Northern Dancer, Seattle Slew and Slew of Gold, Storm Cat and others. I'm looking for a home as I only have a small lot for a pony but purchased her to keep her from slaughter. She's a Texas born Thoroughbred, tattooed and in the Texas 2006 foal book. She's registered with the jockey club. I don't have a place for her to run. I'm in north Georgia. Her registered name is Stormy Elaine. Her lineage to Secretariat includes Genral Assembly, Teralingua and Teen's Rachel 87. Today is April 3rd, 2021.
Thank God for your mercy. The dog and horse racing world is so far away from the animals themselves, and this barbarian like behavior must stop, but it will not as evil is alive and well in this world of ours. How this horse was saved was a true GodWink.
Oh, wow. I'm very surprised Stormy Elaine was not kept as a broodmare considering her lineage. Great-great- granddaughter of Secretariat on her sire's side. Great-great-granddaughter of Terlingua on her dam's side. Terlingua was a great racehorse in her own right and the most-famous broodmare sired by Secretariat. You really should contact the Texas Thoroughbred Registry and get a copy of her papers, find out if she was a good broodmare, and consider breeding her. 18 (it's 2024) is not old for a broodmare.
There are many gggggrandkids of the big red why arent more of liveing there where big red was born studs and mares and gelding same as the mare in this video why haven't any of them there ????
Because Meadow is not a sanctuary for horses that are at best distantly related to Big Red. There are hundreds and hundreds of unsuccessful race horses out there that have him somewhere in their pedigree.
Secretariat is my favorite racing legend
She is beautiful.
Oh, she is so beautiful. She’s got a great Pedegree, especially from secretariat. I wish her well.
Wow, this is really sweet. Back home to the Meadows where it all began.
Awwwww. She is very beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️ it is good to see Secretariat’s Bloodlines and legend still lives on😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁
American Pharoah another triple crown 🏆 🏆 🏆 in 2015, is also the great great grandson of Secretariat...

thats a tall horse!
I would like more information to tour the farm if available please
She looks like she's related through Risen Star. Secretariat most successful runners didn't look like him except for General Assembly.
