This was only about five weeks after the birth of Secretariat, who was actually a close relative of the winner. No one watching this race at the time had any idea of what lay ahead.
The collective gasp at 1:51 is because Holy Land (#4) fell while rounding the turn. This was not shown nor reflected in the late Chic Anderson's call, though he referenced it after the fact.
The jockey gave the horse a great rail trip….saved a ton of ground going around the far turn, then he just straightened him out for the drive to the wire. It was a decisive win as the closers were never a threat. The winner was full of run.
somewhere, Thompson and steadman were in that crowd.
