The 1973 Man o' War Stakes won by SECRETARIAT in a terrific time of 2:24:4/5. Watch especially for the flying front leg kicks he shows when taking the lead for the first time. What a sight.

  • So many great horses from 1972/73. Tim Tam, Kennedy Road, Onion, Angle Light, Twice a Prince, the great Sham, and so many more. It's a testimony to how great Secretariat was and how difficult it was to win the Triple Crown. You can tell how much heart Tim Tam has in this race, he's just over matched.

  • @TheVagolfer IMHO, Secretariat was just too much horse for anyone in history. The valiant horse in this race is in fact Tentam, son of the speedy Intentionally...Hall of Famer Tim Tam ran in 1957 and '58.

    Others have mixed up the names in the past, so it's no big deal. :)

    Thank you for the comments.

  • This was, both, a stakes and course record. Secretariat beat the existing stakes record by 2 1/5th seconds with Ten Tam also beating the existing stakes record. The hold on Sec was much tighter than at the Belmont Stakes. He ran the second half of this race faster than the second half of the Belmont AND, as always, he looks like is just having fun.

  • @Secretatiat159224 Agree with you! This just looks like one of his early morning work outs! what would of happend if the jockey really asked him to stretch out off that bend? 30 lenths win? Was hardly off the bridle in any part of that race.

  • @binibibo That's so true!

  • seems he was just playing with the other horse, almost teasing him. you could see the stride of Secretatiat was so much longer, he was just galloping along at the end, a walk in the park

  • Pause at 0:54 and compare secretariats size to the rest. HES HUGE! even his tails fluffier! :D

  • @TheVagolfer Don't forget Forego, Riva Ridge, Cougar and Key To The Mint...

  • Such a magnificent specimen of a race horse. A true athlete. Love this clip!

  • One of the best clips to watch him run. True athletes love what they do and he certainly did love to run and had the equipment to do it. One of a kind! ♥
