@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!

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.

@catrinmorris Remember this is years and years ago that this horse lived. They probably didn't have the treatment back then.

@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.

@123barrelracingchick I know right!! I just saw it today, it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

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.
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.

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.
