@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.

Take care.

Thank you all for the very kind words. I appreciate the support more than you could possibly know.

God bless. :-)

@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.

I'm off to my Mom's birthday party soon, but thank you for the kind words; I appreciate them very much.

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.

[cowgirlatheart85]

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!!

@deb90566, ITA, God made one Secretariat, not to be duplicated.

[80cathryn]

@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.

[CrosbyMalkinTalbot]

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
