What makes this video different from all other Belmont 1973 footage on youtube? Well, the elongated coverage of the race. It is fun to see the actual initial response to this race by the commentators, the crowd etc.

still the greatest single performance in sports iv'e ever seen. He ran each quarter faster than the previous one.....also, 1:09 the first 6 furlongs in a 12 furlong race..just astonishing.
My god this was amazing, hes actually going away at the line, to win 31 lengths going away from anybody is unbelievable, and turcotte hardly touched him. This is without doubt the greatest performance by any horse over a mile and a half and proabably the greatest ever over any trip
zenyatta has 15 lengths to find with this great animal and the over-reaction to her BC win is an insult to this horse! Never could another horse demolish a field like this, Sham would have went close to winning a triple crown if secretariat wasnt about his year, he tried to go with Sec here and was reduced to a selling plater. This is TRUELY UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
A couple of comments. In April 1977, my father took me to Santa Anita for my horse players " Barmitzvah " sorry if the spelling is incorrect, I am not Jewish. I watched the first race in the announcers booth with my father and the late great Chic Anderson. Ill never forget that, along with my dads warning " not to make a sound! ". I will agree with bbmtge , that is a bygone era. I believe that Spectacular Bid, may have defeated Secretariat, but certainly not on Belmont day!
