He wasn't born at Claiborne Farms. He was born at Meadow Stables.
-
@sandhorse1 Sham not only didn't win another race aftyer the Belmont...he never raced again.
-
Secretariat vs. the Clock.....It was the only measure of competition he had.
-
man i wish i would have been around then to see that race but ayleast i can see it in the videos
-
@Sundance8989 I hope to see that barn near Richmond someday.I go that way often to D.C.Its also near Kings Dominon.The barn was moved across a country road as the VA State Fair took over the old grounds.

His heart weighed 22.5 pounds, twice that of a normal horse. Trully incredible.
-
It was unfortunate for Sham to be born the same year as Secretariat. Had Secretariat been born a year earlier or a year later, Sham would have been the
TC Winner in 1973. After the Belmont Sham never won another race. Unfortunate because he ran his heart out, but Big Red was just too much for him and the rest of the field, his records will stand probably forever. Long live Big Red, thanks for the ride.

Claiborne Farm was NOT Secretariat's birthplace. He was born at Meadow Stable in Doswell, Virginia and retired to Claiborne Farm. Although he certainly was the pride of Lexington in the years that he was there and I had the privilege of several private showings with Big Red as a UK athlete. Incredible memory.

@blackcloudipoy Thats after he was pulled up he broke Swaps record. Swaps time was 2:38 1/5 as a 4 year old running on a lighting fast track out there in Hollywood Park land. Big Red did it in 2:37 4/5. That is still a wolrd record offically for Swaps in a 1 5/8 mile race.

That's correct by 3/5 of a second (3 lengths).

He was the best. I got to see his last race at Woodbine in Toronto. I was 14 and all the Canadians were convinced Kennedy Road was going to beat him. Or so they thought.

He sure was/is. It must have been a madhouse there, lucky you!
Lol, the Canadian fans had some hope for an upset until of course Big Red decided he'd posed long enough and started his patented kick for home.
No horse in history could have handled Secretariat when he was trained properly and in good health, of that I have no doubt.
Thanks for sharing.

WOW !! Thank you for another view of Belmont, but especially for beautiful film of Secretariat, able to watch him move, just for a minute, to get a good look at him, he's breathtaking, and yes, huge. many thanks
