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.

If this were filmed today, I'd say it was a CGI effect.  It's just unbelievable. How awesome it must have been to be there.

If you look towards the final stretch he is actually running faster. That horse is straight beastmode.

I believe Secretariat could actually speak english and communicate with humans.

Secretariat had the "x-factor", an abnormally large heart inherited through the female line. He had the biggest engine, and built-in greatness. The others never had a chance. His record still stands, and is unlikely to be broken. I remember this race well; everyone was STUNNED. No one had ever seen anything like it, and we probably never will again, Thanks for posting.

@DennyG52 I agree! He's a horse God! It seems Sec was also a really nice, gracious & intelligent racehorse. He liked people; was friendly towards his fans who came to meet him, after he retired....How many Humans can say that? Gotta love Secretariat!

i watched the Film 'Secretariat made in 2010 or 2011 about this beautiful racehorse, and the actual lady who owned him was actually at the end of the film in the crowd at the point when 'Big Red' which is what his handler called him won the race. Amazing film :)

I'm 12 years old and I am a runner. Every time I watch the movie it makes me feel like I can run faster than anybody. He actually inspired me I run.
