When you live in the middle of horse country as I did during those years it is hard to explain to people what this meant to the nation. It was something I doubt we will ever see again. Such a magnificent animal. I know the first time I saw him up close I was blown away by his size. After God created Secretariat he broke the mold and threw it away.

@yourdickis2limp Really? Lets take a look at their times in the Derby: Mine That Bird 2:02:66 Secretariat 1:59:40. Maybe your math skills need to be sharpened up a little. BTW...Did the Bird win the Triple Crown? For those of us who saw him run, there will never be another like Secretariat. I lived in Bourbon County in the years following Secretariat's retirement to Claiborne Farm. I had the priveldge of seeing him twice in person at stud. Its sometimes difficult to watch these videos.

There is no point in debating this issue. Secretariat was the fastest race horse of all time. Not because of what he did on the track but because he just was. When you run a mile and a half and run each quarter mile faster than the previous quarter, that is all you have to say. Physically, he had no equal.

@MrItaliano1900 I agree,and Frankie Detoree is the best rider ever.Secretariat used too many steriods

@haldeman20 the best horses in history are Italian: Ribot and Varenne, I do not care about europe. But the American races are ridiculous.

[haldeman20]

@MrItaliano1900 US horses do race against the best and WIN, winning 8 of 16 Dubai World Cups.  Europeans TRY to race against the best, but have never won a Breeders Cup or Kentucky Derby. Looks like the European horses are the myopic ones who can't win outside of their home turf.

[haldeman20]

@MrItaliano1900 LOL American horses have won 50% of the Dubai World Cups...an event held literally on the other side of the world..4 of the top 6 finishing times in the DWC are owned by American horses...during that same time frame foreign horses have won 2 of 16 Breeders Cup classics...and both foreign horses are from the Americas (Argentina / Canada). So American horses win 50% of the time in the biggest even outside of the US, yet no Euro horse has won the biggest event in the US

I love the horse, he is something to see on film, I can't imagine what it was like to see him in real life. But his story combined with his owner is what gives us reason to believe and to hope and have faith. I could watch these races for ever they are kicks! You know God has to show out every once in a while what a creation!
