Oh yea what the guy says in video is so TRUE! 1s time i got a good look at him was before the Derby on TV (he was getting a bath) and the camera got him at a good angle that showed him off well and I stood up pointed at the TV with my eyes poppin and said (practically shouted) THAT is the next triple crown winner! I was in high school at the time! There was just something about that horse!
@Militarylove2012 Me? Learn about race horses? I am only 14 years old and work with training Rolex and Pre-Olympic eventers. I pay all of my expenses with 5 jobs I've landed myself and I run a thereupetic and pony party business? Me learn about the equestrian world? Think again.
@englishjumper123 You can't have a job at 14 you don't get your NIN until 6weeks before you turn 16. The most you can get before then is a paper round.
@DeathKitty123456 No, you actually can. Not a certified job under law, but an equivelant not under law. I have had many offers from pro barns and I do them all my self with my own communications. u jelly?
@englishjumper123 no i am not jealous i am happy studying at college with hope to work in conservation one day and i doubt you are telling the truth but hey what do i know, all i am saying is if i was a pro rider or owned a pro barn i would not employ a 14 year old child to train my horse, muck out some stables maybe but certainly not train :\
@Tsarevna303 I don't think so. The checkered pants belong to Eddie Sweat, the groom. At the end, the shorter man removing the blanket of roses from Secretariat's withers was Lucien Laurin, the trainer. Immediately after, Eddie is visible in the crazy pants.
The American arrogance and ignorance is famose . If a horse wins in USA, without ever leaving his country, without having traveled, it automatically becomes the best in history. Out of Your Truman Show , out Hollywood, in the real world, everyone knows ..the best horse ever (gallop) is the Italian " RIBOT ", the best trotter ever is Italian " VARENNE " the best jockey ever is the Italian " FRANKIE DETTORI." All people can check these names on internet and make an assessment of the results.
I think it was more that this horse had a personality and an identity and it tolerated humans as means to achieve what it wanted to. Ronnie has said, many times, that Big Red ran and he really didn't need to call on him to do much of anything.
The announcer is correct. Secretariat's beauty, speed & perfection has never been duplicated. He truly was the "miracle horse":-) The only supernatural being ever recorded on earth. He had it ALL.
You can see at the 12 sec. mark a hand pulling the barrier rope (or cloth) out from under his tail and it breaks causing him to bolt to his left the first time. Then his bit ends up over the barrier as Sweat tries to control him and get him loose. As he backs up then his tail gets over the barrier again and spooks him a second time. Now look at him as he settles down, his balance, his conformation. Secretariat was a very majestic animal even under these circumstances.
Truth is, a horse like Secretariat loved what he was doing..he was a natural and it was what he was born and bred to do. Sadly, though, the truth is that many many of the not-so-successful race horses are treated very badly and sold for slaughter for dog food. There is a fairly recent news story about a mare that was bought for 35.00 to be sent to slaughter...she was very near death from starvation and maltreatment. A kind soul picked her up and rehabbed. She was a descend.
If Horse racing is animal abuse then so are dog sleds and keeping pets. Horses love to run, they love to compete, and are very well treated. They are athletes. Very few horses are drugged, in fact it's illegal to drug your horse and if caught can suffer tremendous charges and the animal could be taken away. Ask any horse owner or jockey and if for a second they don't think their horse is sound to race they scratch!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Horse racing is animal abuse.Nothing but a money hungry sport. These owners don't care about the well being of this beautiful animal,Just how much money they will make off it. And when they don't make it. They have them killed. The jockeys beat their young horses. And these horses are also drugged.A horse love to run it is there nature. But not like man wants them too.So if you love going to the races you are taking part in animal Abuse.You are no animal lover. You are a animal Killer.
@horsesaremylife31899 I rememeber reading the info at the Ky Horse Park years ago on how the vets were crying when they put Big Red down due to that painful hoof disease that also killed Barbaro.
@MarianC44 Secretariat won most of his races on his own will. Jockey Ron Turcotte seldom ever used a whip. MarianC44, you know nothing about the industry, you speak out of your ass.
One cannot force a horse to run. It takes an exceptional horse to even qualify to run in a race. Once qualified, the horse has to demonstrate heart and the will to win, this is something that no whip or drugs can instill.
@flyindiamond actually if u look even closer ur partially right but he was spooked before that happened cuz after he spooked then he got it cought under :)
@flyindiamond it looks like the rope went over the tail and i don't blame him all horses spook and thoroughbreds are exspecially frisky and strong headed but you got to love there big hearts
@afleetalgebra You can see at the 12 sec. mark a hand holding the barrier as it snaps coming out from under Secretariat's tail. If you type in flyindiamond on you tube you can view my tribute to Secretariat - 1973 triple crown. He was an amazing animal.
Like mshobohorse asked, why are we having a discussion about Elvis? This is a video about Secretariat, the king of horses. Not some over the hill over-rated over-weight burned out singer who was a DRUG ADDICT.
thanks for calling me an idiot apreciate it.I know elvis was addicted.I am not denying that.All I am saying is give the man credit like other great artist and stop tearing him down all the time .He was human like the rest of us.we all have faults.christ
@savammy Why don't you take this crap to a Elvis site where it belongs, and you can argue till the cows come home? Don't you think that would be more appropriate than here? How many ways are there to tell you, this is a video about the KING OF HORSES? Not a site about a burned-out over the hill drug addicted "singer" that's been dead for over 30 yrs.
It looks like he wants to "man handle" or in his case "horse handle" Eddie Sweat. It looked like it took all Eddie Sweat to control the situation. Secretariat wanted to shake him around like a rag doll.
That's amazing footage. Barbaro hated the roses too! He wouldn't even let them get the photo with them on. After Mine That Bird's connections put them on his statue, I found it cool of them- but funny since he would have tried to pull them off with his teeth.
Secretariat- "Come on! Lets run again!"
