The best video I've seen on youtube that captured what we emotionally experienced back when Secretariat won the Triple Crown in the 1973 Belmont is -"Secretariat A Moment of Eternity". What he did that day was the only supernatural athletic performance ever recorded. Almost 40 years later...and no athlete has ever come close to that magical day we witnessed. Still brings tears to people's eyes.
A beautiful thing, he was. A champion. But the thing is, he didn't do it because he was striving for glory, fame, or money. He did it because he had a heart to run, and legs to support that. And we all think he shouldn't have been put down. But at 19 years old, that is like him being 57. That might not be a super ripe old age, but it can still be hard on a older horse to cope with injury. He was perfect. A wonderful stallion who sired many grand horses. This movie shows that.
Secretariat was an amazing horse. But I can't help feeling bad for Sham. If he had been racing another year, he would for sure have won the Triple Crown. ;)
@LoveLiveJump - Because no one thought this could be possible. What horse have you ever known to finish a race 31 lengths ahead of everybody else?! Not only that but to start dead last and fight his way through the pack to the top? Its unimaginable!
Not only has Secretariat's victory never been beaten in 37 years, but he will always be considered to be one of the best race horses of all time! :-) A truly inspiring, unthinkable story that has touched us all. A true Horse movie! :)
This trailer gives me goose-bumps, as did the movie :) Disney did not disappoint with this one. Probably my favorite horse-racing movie. The fact it's a true story makes the film all the more exciting and wondrous. But I can't believe I've never heard of Secretariat before this movie... :( And I call myself a horse lover... T.T lol
@LoveLiveJump Because the odds were so much against Penny. She had to battle just about every force in her life to make this happen but she was determined and she wanted to leave a legacy that her father would be proud of. It is extremely difficult to get a horse to the triple crown races, much less win all 3. That's why there has only been a handful of them that have won it all. Also you have to understand the times, Penny was a woman in a man's world.
@LoveLiveJump It was "impossible" because a woman who knew nothing about horse racing gambled on a horse that did the unthinkable. He won the Triple Crown after no horse had in 25 years & then broke each of the track records (Preakness time we'll never know since the clock broke) but set the track record for the Kentucky Derby & the world record for the Belmont & both still stand today. BTW, only 2 other horses won the TC since ..& both back in the 1970's. But Secretariat's times still stand!
i think disneys sport movies are usually pretty good, its just like the ones that are about normal people that are godawful, like the pacifier and old dogs
He was a great race horse. And his heart was 4-times the size of A regular horses heart which allowed him to pump oxygen much faster. Although the great Man O' War had slower times (by a couple seconds), I've always wondered : if they had been born in Secretariats time period (with better nutrition, training facilities,etc.) who would've won in a race?
I liked the movie but I wish there was a little more balance between the horses story and the owners story. Too much about the owner and not enough about the horse himself. As everyone knows,Secretariat was a once in a lifetime horse. It should have been told better!
can't believe they put him down after a month of having laminitis. my boyfriends horse had laminitis and went through months of expensive treatment and years after he's healthy and still winning in horse shows.
@catrinmorris Sorry, but whenever I see a documentary on animal rescue on National Geographic or Discovery, the impression I get is, that they put down every animal that gives "any trouble". This happens to dogs which after not being fed regularly in the past don't "pass the test" of having a fake hand put into the bowl. Christ, I had like 5 healthy dogs and I would never even think of trying this.
Back in '73 this great horse was the first racehorse I had ever paid any attention to. But you couldn't pick up any magazine without him on the cover! Secretariat was a household name everybody knew! He was legendary. Like a rock star.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! secretariat is the best horse that ever lived i love this movie it makes me feel strong and want to be a race horse lol
Does the horse get injured in any way, or is it a sad film thats going to make me wanna cry? Because I vowed and declared to myself never to watch a dog or horse or any animal movie that either dies init or whatever... It looks brilliant though!!!!
@rebeccas0 I haven't seen the film yet. I only watch dvds and vhs because "going to the movies" has lost it's charm. I can tell you that Secretariay retired sound to stud at 3. Of the offspring that made it to the track IMO , the best was Lady's Secret whose dam was Great Lady M. a royal pairing. Secretariat was euthanized due to laminitis at 19 yrs old (far too young ,also IMO having had my dream horse until he was 32.) I'm sure you will cry for one reason or another. Tears come with horses.
@thebackgroundartiste One of Secretariat's offspring (Kingston Town), a big bold chestnut striking in appearance like Big Red, still, to this day, holds the Melbourne Cup (16 furlong) Race & Track Record, a feat accomplished in 1990. Despite a barrage of foreign invaders from England, Ireland, Wales, France, Japan, HK, NZ, UAE etc, none have even come close to nearing that record. Not bad for a breed that lacked stamina!! Go Big Red, you are and will always be THE BEST. RIP Champ :)
Cool trailer. I kind of remember seeing it happen in real life; the wins, I mean. Secretariat was an awesome horse. If memory serves, he won the KD by 33 lengths going away...?
@AJourneyOf1000Miles Secretariat set all 3 TC records. The clock malfunctioned during the Preakness. He still holds the KD & Belmont (still the world record for 1 mile & half) and ties for the fastest Preakness. (Video shows he was actually 6 lengths ahead of the other horse he "tied" when they were run side by side). He is the only horse in the history of TC to INCREASE his speed throughout the KD & Belmont while breaking speed records. No horse, or human, has ever matched that feat.
One of the best movies I've ever seen. It makes me want to ride more often then I do. Secretariat (Big Red) is amazing, he's a beautiful horse and I love how this is a real story. Also they have the original lady (AKA Penny Chenery Tweedy) in the movie around the end. It's a must see film that touches your heart :) If it didn't you're a heartless, sad, lonely person, living with no love in your heart. I recommend this movie to every age group, especially since this is a family film.
Not only a legend, but a lesson to be learned to overcome, never say never, and know that great things do come with time, faith, patience and persistence.
soy fanatico de ver peliculas y ya vi esta y la verdad esta pelicula es muy muy grande esta de poca la historia ...wuau si en verdad secretariat existio me hubiese gustado conoserlo wuau quede fasinado
i watched it 20 minutes ago....its unbelieveable....i'd lie to work with horses...i love them since my childhood...they're so nice,strong,and fast! i love them and the movie is...AWESOME!!!
amazing horse i watched this on a big screen tv with suround sound and i could feel the hooves of the horse gallop on my own floor as if we were there amazing story that horse became so popilar that he had more than 600 foals and my dad met the jockey of this amazind=g horse in person ron turrcot
I just watched the movie. Such an amazing movie. Walt Disney is awsome. I have never been interested in horse things but this movie was So exciting. I love the journey this movie took me in.
I just watched the movie last night and loved it. During the race scenes starting with the Derby I got the same anxiety I do when watching the races on TV....even though I knew he won....I still was nervous. Great movie...although I am still partial to Seabiscuit.
The movie was great, but historically inaccurate. The movie never said a word about the great Riva Ridge, which was trained by Lucien Lauren and ridden by Ron Turcotte in 1972, the year before Secretariat's Triple Crown wins. It was Riva Ridge that saved Meadow Stables from financial disaster. He won the Kentucky Derby and Belmont in 1972, and if not for a sloppy track in the Preakness, Riva Ridge could have won the Triple Crown. I guess Disney decided to omit these facts.
This movie was perfect. I've always loved horses and I'd certainly heard the name Secretariat before, but never EVER could I have guessed the unbelievable story behind his fame. Sounds crazy but Secretariat is now my idol.
@ghlover2001 He's my all time hero too:-) I was 17 at the time you can not imagine the country's excitement over him. He did what no human or horse has ever done in HISTORY. He broke the KD & Belmont by SPEEDING UP throughout each race. He set every world record in the Belmont (except the first quarter) & was still speeding up at the finish.His Preakness "sprint" to the front has never been done. The clock broke so we'll never know his time. He was the greatest miracle of nature we'll ever see.
"Secretariat has a neck like a buffalo, a back as broad as a sofa. His chest is so deep and wide that it takes a custom-made girth to encircle its 75% in. and hold the saddle. And he is still growing." Time Magazine
I feel like she's telling the opposite of how she feels. For instance, you run at it. ? Or When the horn sounds sounds like what she is afraid of. And I'm afraid of her. Black sheep in white sheeps clothing maybe????
@SuperNessii1 In frenzied excitement, he eats up the ground. He paws fiercly, rejoicing in his strenght and charges into the fray, afraid of nothing. For when the trumpet sounds...
The movie did not capture the "magic" of what we saw in 1973. Secretariat is the most supernatural creature that ever lived. When a horse race can make people cry even after 38 yrs..the miracle will never be duplicated. What Sec did in the Belmont has never been recorded in history, even by man. He speeded up WHILE breaking the world record each quarter mile. He also raced faster in the Derby. The Preakness burst of speed has never been done by another horse. He was THE genetic, perfect 10.
what an awesome movie i love horseracing movies this is one of the best The Best Horseracing Movie is by far and wide is Seabiscuit if any out there hasent seen it plz go now lol
boring movies are boring..let me guess..the horse is strong and fast at the beggining then he gets sick in the middle of the movie...then somehow he'll be ok and win...THE END
@mdadnan its about both, the lady was the first female owner to have a horse win the tripple crown, back when this was all a mans world and the females where expected to become house wifes, and secretariat was the horse who won it for her.
@mdadnan The lady was the first women to have a horse win the tripple crown, this was back when the females where house wifes, as pointed out in the trailer, and Secretariat was the horse who won it for her
Saw it, boring at times, not much of horses but pretty story.... the last race disapointed me, short and did not explain nor show fully the excitement of that moment. there were hints but thats all. Cute but not great.- thats my opinion, peace
before watching this Movie i didn't even liked horse racing ..
but now its all changed This Film Is Brilliant ..
at every moment the horse was racing i was setting on the edge of my seat .. and the moment the film ended .. i searched google for Secretariat (Big Red) .. and i watched all real videos of this horse race ..
@modar30 If you liked this film, maybe you should see "Seabiscuit" too. Both films are about real horses and how they became great champions and symbols of courage
@modar30 you should try watching Seabiscuit :) I guarantee you'll love it. It's a true story about how a race horse became a symbol of hope during the Great Depression. :)
God get's the credit for creating such an inspired strength! You see how God is? Much different than man and his creations that always fall apart eventually. Even a bad tooth wouldn't stop this prize horse notably with considerable background! -- Puts all the doubters to shame because of her faith to see in this horse the will to go all out no matter what! I mean the lead actress was actually speaking to the animal & getting a connection. Action packed without a gun pointed at you! arch
Thats' the most inspired film I've ever seen! Best actress, No guns, great humor, unselfishness, faith & a will to win based on love & trust show God's creation wins hands down! Hats off to the writers and producers! Give that man a cigar! Worth a second look! arch
I love horses and horseracing. Secreteriat is a legend! I really want to see this movie! I have had racehorses for many years. I love the beautiful animals!
I was in high school and watched this amazing athelete's progression into immortality, but I never knew the amazing struggle behind the scenes until this movie came out.
I still get cold chills watching that Belmont Blow-out!
Looks to be a great film. I just hope they dont make the horses attitudes too human, something which disney has done before. Keep them as the animals they are with their own language to draw people in. Giving them human emotions gives the wrong idea. Hopefully its a good film
I want to race horses. I became to love running. I have ran so much in the past month its not funny. Running is my life, I ran my horse. The winds rushes through my hair, and it feels good. The way it blows :) Life isn't about how you do its, its about believing in what your trying to do.
I just saw it on Thursday last week. It's the best horse movie I have ever seen because usually every horse movie is about snotty little girls who have to have a horse or something. Thumbs up to this movie! :)
this an amazing story and a great movie for all ages. I didn't know the story before this movie but, now i am hooked on Secretariat and his wonderful journey.
@starvini Are you using a perfect record as the sole criteria for placing Zenyatta above all others? Although she no longer has a perfect record, she is certainly a very fine horse, but she has not spent many seasons on the track and has 2 starts in open company, correct? Take a look way back into history (late 1800's-early 1900) and you'll find fillies who put Zenyatta to shame, starting with Imp. The Secretariat trailer looks good. Will have to see the movie.
Just finished watching this movie. Amazing movie!

"Secretariat has a neck like a buffalo, a back as broad as a sofa. His chest is so deep and wide that it takes a custom-made girth to encircle its 75% in. and hold the saddle. And he is still growing." Time Magazine

I feel like she's telling the opposite of how she feels. For instance, you run at it. ? Or When the horn sounds sounds like what she is afraid of. And I'm afraid of her. Black sheep in white sheeps clothing maybe????

The movie did not capture the "magic" of what we saw in 1973. Secretariat is the most supernatural creature that ever lived. When a horse race can make people cry even after 38 yrs..the miracle will never be duplicated. What Sec did in the Belmont has never been recorded in history, even by man. He speeded up WHILE breaking the world record each quarter mile. He also raced faster in the Derby. The Preakness burst of speed has never been done by another horse. He was THE genetic, perfect 10.

before watching this Movie i didn't even liked horse racing ..
but now its all changed This Film Is Brilliant ..
at every moment the horse was racing i was setting on the edge of my seat .. and the moment the film ended .. i searched google for Secretariat (Big Red) .. and i watched all real videos of this horse race ..
And The Best Thing Is .. ITS A REAL STORY .. WOW

@modar30 If you liked this film, maybe you should see "Seabiscuit" too. Both films are about real horses and how they became great champions and symbols of courage
eryn1066 11 months ago 2
@modar30 you should try watching Seabiscuit :) I guarantee you'll love it. It's a true story about how a race horse became a symbol of hope during the Great Depression. :)

God get's the credit for creating such an inspired strength! You see how God is? Much different than man and his creations that always fall apart eventually. Even a bad tooth wouldn't stop this prize horse notably with considerable background! -- Puts all the doubters to shame because of her faith to see in this horse the will to go all out no matter what! I mean the lead actress was actually speaking to the animal & getting a connection. Action packed without a gun pointed at you! arch
arch37 1 year ago
Thats' the most inspired film I've ever seen! Best actress, No guns, great humor, unselfishness, faith & a will to win based on love & trust show God's creation wins hands down! Hats off to the writers and producers! Give that man a cigar! Worth a second look! arch

Looks to be a great film. I just hope they dont make the horses attitudes too human, something which disney has done before. Keep them as the animals they are with their own language to draw people in. Giving them human emotions gives the wrong idea. Hopefully its a good film

I want to race horses. I became to love running. I have ran so much in the past month its not funny. Running is my life, I ran my horse. The winds rushes through my hair, and it feels good. The way it blows :) Life isn't about how you do its, its about believing in what your trying to do.

DexterChester 1 year ago
@starvini Are you using a perfect record as the sole criteria for placing Zenyatta above all others? Although she no longer has a perfect record, she is certainly a very fine horse, but she has not spent many seasons on the track and has 2 starts in open company, correct? Take a look way back into history (late 1800's-early 1900) and you'll find fillies who put Zenyatta to shame, starting with Imp. The Secretariat trailer looks good. Will have to see the movie.
