Secretariat - Belmont Stakes 1973

I think this is one of the most famous and awesome race in U.S. In this race, Secretariat, an outstanding big chestnut horse, wins by 31 length(!!!), making the world 12F record, achieving triple crown.

Sham - "Fuck this, I'm done"

I got choked up watching this race. What an awesome horse!

I believe they said Big Red's sire Bold Ruler was built for distance and his dam was built with stamina...Two qualities that made the difference in this wonder horse. NO drugs were ever found in Secretariats blood. Sham didn't even place in the top 3. He was never hit with a switch in any of the races he ran. More than impressive even 40 years later.

The freaky part about it...Sham would've more than likely won a triple crown in any other year!

Unreal.. that ass-kicking never gets old to watch... he made great horses look like donkey's out there.... never be matched...

They just don't make horses like that anymore. Dang

How fast was Secretariat? Well, Secretariat won the Belmont in 2:24 flat. Last years winner, a very nice horse, Union Rags, won it in 2:30.42, over 6 seconds longer. 6 seconds difference in a horse race, is a long long time indeed. 2:24 is like the announcer said, "a tremendous machine".

I read another one of your posts where you were expounding on yams on some bodybuilding site. most of your other posts are not nearly as flattering as your knowledge of edible tubers. like this one.
