A beast of a horse. I saw it in black an white tv. Simply the greatest horse ever.
Sham runs what is still the second fastest time ever..and loses. Secretariat just had another gear mortal horses didn't have.
I am a nobody, but when I heard this horse was no longer with us a piece of me went with this great horse. I love this horse, this horse put horse racing on the chart for me, I cry sometime watching these old videos of him. I feel like he is/was my horse. I can't say all that is in my heart and mind and my deep feelings for Secretariat he is miss by me. I thank God that I was able to live in this time to have witness such a great horse.
Sham in any other era would have been a Triple Crown winner Big Red was just too good.
The great Secretariat. One of the greatest performances ever run by a racehorse, the 1973 Kentucky Derby. Big Red ran each quarter faster than the one prior and broke the track record. He was running so fast as they turned for home that centrifugal force caused him to swing wide into the stretch. It was amazing to see! Running wide and still able to catch and pass Sham. Magnificent
Secretariat ran the last quarter mile in 23 flat. He ran the last half mile in 46 & 2. He ran the last mile of the race 2 seconds faster than Skecky Green ran the first mile. Thank you for posting.
Mitch
The acceleration that he had in the late stages of races is unmatched!!
7:24: "He isn't just another horse" A true understatement if there ever was one!
Dead last into the first turn and breaks the record by 3/5th's.
if you want to see the fastest Kentucky Derby of all time... this is the only place to see it. If you want to see the second fastest Kentucky Derby of all time, guess you have to come here to see that too! Go Go Secretariat, and all due respect to Sham as well...
chuckle.... even Citation's trainer watching him before Wood Mml said he looked like a 4 yr old, bigger than Citation eveer was. At 2 he looked like 3 yr old. There is a full page picture of him in Sports Illustrated after his first race as 3 yr old I think, a March 73 issue. The article is titled... and I LOVE this... "Oh, Lord ! He's Perfect !"
A complete racehorse. Far turn move in the Kentucky Derby, a first turn move in the Preakness and a opening furlong move in his spectacular Belmont Stakes.
chic anderson was the best
Secretariat just pulls away. Unbelievable!
I never got to see any of Secretariat's races back in '73. It was the only year I missed the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes--and until you and RUclips, I was miserable about never seeing Secretariat in action. Whenever I need to be inspired, replay your Secretariat videos. Thank you for giving me so much pleasure.
It makes me feel so good to have younger generations so interested and thrilled by these races. I remember reading that the caller of race for overseas radio said.... "It's SECRETARIAT !!... and he's GOT his Kentucky Derby !! wonderful, so appropriate emphasis after all the doubt, the fans who jeered Turcotte after Wood Meml.
best & clearest sound of all the videos- thank you for no music!!!- the call near the end is so wonderful
Amazing how Sham and Secretariat pulled away after the head of the stretch. Awesome!
At 7:19, Big Red looks like he's ready to go another mile and a quarter.
god, i wanna cry everytime i watch this horse race.
Yes, Nack lays all that out in the wonderful bio. I think it's so interesting after the race at the barn, Nack writes of the wonderment of what he did, that Turcotte thought Penny and Lucien didn't realize what Secretariat did in the Derby, running each 1/4 faster in a relentless drive, all the way thru the race, with that last 1/4 in .23.
As I watch this race again and again and Big Red's awesome move down the stretch, I wonder what his time would have been had this been a mile and a half race like the Belmont. Big Red was flying like the Superhorse he was. I was blessed to have been alive when Secretariat ran his unbelievable Triple Crown races in '73. I was only 12 years old at the time, but I had been following the Triple Crown races ever since I could remember and I realized at the time how special Big Red was.
Pincay had to whip Sham repeatedly to even try and keep up with Secretariat while Tourquot was under a hand ride. Sham was game, but he was no where near on the same level as Secretariat, IMO.
Every time I see the top of the stretch to the wire I get goose bumps and then start to cry. Can't explain it except it was a great race by the greatest horse
.
This is the first time I've watched this race, w/o interruptions, assuming it's not cut at all, that the race unfolds completely with Chic calling, and you get to the point where Secretariat has passed 5 or 6 of the horses in that relentless drive with 5or 6 to go and Turcotte wondering if Sec has enough to keep it up and overtake them, that Chic says "Secretariat has made a sudden move and is now 6th." Of course it's not "a sudden move" at all.
Greatest racehorse ever lived Secretariat...
I was a teen and im glad i saw the red tremendous machine. I view it often and compare to others. I liked animalkingdom im rooting for cal chrome. What could big red have done as a four or five year old???? Clearly the GreatesT . Snakeking
Thanks for posting! There were some good 3 yr olds in that race. Sham in most years, probably would have won the Derby (not sure about the tripe crown though). Shows how incredible of horse Secreteriat was to win a race like that.
The funny thing, and unexpected was that Secreteriat might have been even better at one and a half miles.
Best horse of all time!
The best ever
Who could possibly dislike this?
Thank you very much for posting this great event for posterity. Secretariat, the one and only!
One of the greatest announcers of all time....he could call a race!
I was 17 when Secretariat was our hero. I watched all three legs of the Triple Crown. Sham and Secretariat. Sham did beat Secretariat in the Wood Memorial, a race previous to the Triple Crown, but Secretariat beat the pants off Sham in all three legs of the Triple Crown!!!! Secretariat is a true Royal in the horse world. Along with Cagney, Big Ben, Hickstead, Bonheur,and others just as wonderful!!! A super athlete in the horse world is, I think, even more wonderful than a human athlete.
I love the movie and thank you for downloading this for the rest of us to enjoy.Yes, to me he was the greatest race horse ever. Gives me goosebumps to watch him race.Rest in Peace Big Red with Sham Man O War and way to many to list. In the movie, Penny Cherney remarks how it is so upsetting that Secratariet likes to come up from behind. Micheline Kribs. Rolla,MO At the Wood Memorial, I think thats the race where he had a blister on his gum.
Another interesting tidbit, 1973 was one of the few times that the program had it right for the trifector (they missed the Super putting My Gallant 4th).
Could you imagine how fast he would have been if he ran the whole race? Wow!
i wonder what a picture of secreteriat signed by penny tweety ron turcott and lauren is worth today
I wish we could see after Chic says Secretariat has made a sudden move, because othe you have the room between horses he's passed and the group up ahead. That's when T wonders if S has enuf, one horse seems to start to pass... and that's when I think, T maybe chirps and S kicks into that next gear. Then S starts the second sweep, WISH we cld see all of that... but it's not on film.
Secretariat's Triple Crown was 5 weeks of sheer dominance. Yet no one ever talks about that. He didn't just win the triple crown. He dominated it.
find out on ebay plenty there! you might pick one up or drive to Paris and get them to sign it for you
stop that valet!!!
@mrsteddyz
I can say with 100% accuracy that it was a european
