I think Secretariat is a good example for all us and there is no doubt that he had a great spirit, driving him to be the best, it's to bad we don't have someone like him running for president.
It's such a beautiful sight to see him run in slow motion, because you get to that one point, where absolutly no feet are touching the ground, and he looks like he's flying. And I bet that's where Big Red was at his happiest.:)
Big Red, "Secretariat", really did have the "HEART Of A Champion"!! Despite what anyone says about the movie, for me, it achieved it's Goal. To make me aware of the Greatest Race Horse That EVER Lived!! I Love Big Red!! His character, strength, passion for racing, and poise as a horse, is one that was never seen before and has never been seen since!! "Secretartiat" was INDEED the Greatest Race Horse that EVER Did or Will LIVE!!
Help! I think I need SA (Secretariat Anonymous). I am an addict. I cannot stop watching his videos and this is one of my favorites. Pure perfection. Thank you for posting it.
talk about tear-jearker, 11:50 - 11:55 "and i just cared for my horse so much that i've just kept honking his horn..." penny was an 11yr old girl in an older womans body for those 5 to 7 seconds there. she knew sec saved her family's (her father's) legacy - what they had invested their entire lives in... penny's such a class act, i think she loves spending the rest of her life repaying him
@deb90566 Amen to that! Penny said something I think really is appropriate in describing Secretariat: She said from Sec's point of view: "I've already won the race, now I'll show you what I can really do". WOW! And when you watch the stretch run in the Belmont, Sec just takes off in that last 16th of a mile and widens the margin that the camera man had to focus just on Sec because his wide angle lens was already stretched.
SEC don't get me wrong yur hotstuff, always have been always will be... but this is the one and only youtube video where someone else is being stared at as much as u... Diane Lane is hotstuff too and definitely givin you a run for your money... u sired approx 600 foals u know exactly what i'm talikin about. grerat vid thanx 4 post
It's amazing to me how the "supernatural" dwarfed an amazingly talented horse like Sham. Perhaps if Secretariat never existed Sham would have been the triple crown. Will God ever bless us with a horse like Big Red again?
i visited secretariat in the summer of 1989. he was 19 yoa but he still looked magnificent. he posed for me and those pictures are still on my living room wall. i also have hair from his mane and tail in my secretariat scrapbook that his groom gave me. he was put down 2 months later. glad i got to see him in person. miss you big red.
Thanks so much for posting this. Now I don't have to get the blueray disc of the movie out whenever i want to watch this and can watch it on portable devices also. It's been 38 years since this" once in a lifetime" horse amazed us all and his legend will live on for others to behold. I don't think there will ever be another that can do what he did. Thanks again.
I just saw this movie and remember the year it all occurred....little did I know the history I was watching being made.....he was truly a Miracle.....thanks for posting this footage that wasn't part of the DVD.
I know a son of his and I can tell you that he is just as intelligent and generous with his affection. He can also spend time in the air if he wants to. He is 27 and lives in Ohio. I am fortunate to have spent a year with him as my instructor. I will never forget it.
@tenbyssimo Thank you for the comments; you're very welcome. I'll take a look through my videotapes, but I have over 120 of them, so it may take some time to see if I have any of those races.
I noticed that this wonderful horse has the same features (wide neck tapered at the head, shoulders, head shape, even the three white ankles!) as the Darley Arabian - one of the founding sires of modern thoroughbreds. Sec has the most impressive physique of any racehorse I've seen. I think Man o' War had a similar build. The user "carleykaiser" has a vid of him ("Secretariat"), and in the beginning he's being washed - the resemblance to the Darley in that clip is uncanny! I enjoyed your video.
wow just wow. What this horse did was just 1.mind blowing and 2.untouchable really. Not another horse in race history could ever possibly accomplish what he did. This horse truly had a love for running. If i could pick just one moment in history to be at...this would be it.
Secretariat was smart, when i say smart i mean very smart, he got the pleasure of passing all the horses, when people see what there horse is up against they make there jockey do whatever it takes, even if it means whipping the horse reapetedly, but Secretariat? Nah He just cruised along happily not even trying.
What a great, wonderful horse. I'm really waiting for Rainaway's racing career, his grandsire is Secretariat and he has the same outlook. ^^
Secretariat is, and will ever be immortal. I don't know what will come in this century, but I don't expect to see a horse which could break his Belmont record.
But I was wondering why Sham isn't in the Top 100 list of racehorses of the 20th century...he was better then many others in this list... ._.
You, Sir, are a keeper of the flame of the greatest racehorse this galaxy has ever seen...SECRETARIAT. I really appreciate your efforts to keep alive the memory of this spectacular four-legged Force of Nature.
There will never be another like Big red...HANDS DOWN THE GREATEST!! CF I really appreciate all these great videos you post. Your channel is my favorite. Thanks again.
This is so beautiful, what an amazing tribute and it tied in nicely with the movie, I was around when Big Red ran and he inspired me and that is partly why I run, thank you for the post, it's in my faves.
Secretariat was simply breathtaking... I wasn't around to see this "tremendous machine" run, but I thank you for this amazing post so I could see his beauty :)
O CF, thanks so very much for this. I love him so much and can never figure out how Man O War was rated above him...I must have missed something somewhere. I have favorited of course and will watch every day, because I miss him every day:)
It appalls me that people can see this footage, see him run his Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and then the legendary Belmont Stakes and STILL DOUBT him. It wasn't only his untouched athleticism, but his unreal intelligence that made him great.
Thanks for posting this! Nothing makes my day more than watching Big Red :)
@Jazzgirl8888 Hello, dear friend! Happy you enjoyed the video! I just couldn't pass up posting this footage when I discovered it, and I think many other Secretariat fans will love it as well.
