I was there that day. I think she paid $2.80 to win. She was moving so easily thru the stretch. We'll never know how far she could run due to her early demise. I think her bloodline tended more to a sprinter but I'm not sure. Just to see how easily she won in a superb time,she could have been one of the all time great fillies ! No I was wrong about the breeding. Someone who commented here says her sire was the great Seattle Slew. He could run short or long.However,her dam was Terlingua. She was strictly a sprinter.

I do think if they are old enough to run for money they are old enough to be in the HOF and she should of course be there

I was at OTB that day and during that race there was a horse that was 99-1 I put $10 across the board on him, he was dead last the entire race, thought I lost $30 but instead got a refund This is why you never rip up your tickets

It's amazing no one found this for years. Equally amazing is no one at NYRA kept their original videotape of Johnson's call of the 1973 Belmont. If there had been an eighth season of "Mad Men," I would have advanced the storylines to 1973 and opened such a season with this race.

The rest of the horses were dead, but even in saying that, you dont see horses win from that far back, that late in the race lol. Hes ten lengths back from second to last in a strung out field at the top if the stretch, maybe more lol. Thats insane.

Thank you so very much for finding this historic footage! I've been waiting so long to hear Dave Johnson's take of Secretariat's masterpiece, and I'm very glad that the NYRA has decided to release it. It's a quite straightforward race call due to Dave's duties to the track and the betting public, but the angles and the sheer nostalgic value is priceless. Now if only CBS would release the original full broadcast film stock footage that is collecting dust in their archives. Remastering costs for them would be negligible considering the net worth of the network. Hopefully, one day it will be.

Secretariat ran off the screen. The camera used in this version couldn’t show the entire stretch. State of the Art equipment for 1973. The CBS camera was able to capture the entire stretch. That was a good race for 2nd by two horses that probably ran about a 2 minute 28 second mile and a half. Which would be good enough to win many runnings of the Belmont Stakes. I like this version’s angle of Secretariat in a full sprint up the backstretch. That was amazing to watch. Horses just don’t do that in a mile and a half race.

That’s Dave Johnson. The only thing I didn’t like about his call is that he wasn’t giving out the split times. That made the race more exciting when Chic Anderson gave out the running time for the first three quarters ….1:09 and three. That was Secretariat’s warmup. That puts it all into prospective. He was burning up the backstretch.

Dave Johnson was an outstanding race track announcer . He replaced the legendary, Fred Cappeslla .

@@laurenurban3942 They didn't give split times back then. That only really started under Marshall Cassidy when Off-Track Betting locations in New York were getting the live calls. Even Chic Anderson on his pre-NYRA race calls for CBS never did that (Anderson would replace Johnson as the main track announcer in the spring of 1977 at the NYRA tracks (with Cassidy then his backup until he succeeded Anderson when Anderson died in March 1979) when Johnson left to become the first thoroughbred announcer at The Meadowlands).

@@brendanmullarkey1787 Actually it was the spring of 1977 when Johnson left NYRA to become the first track announcer for thoroughbred racing at The Meadowlands ahead of their first thoroughbred meet that fall. Chic Anderson became the only announcer because of when he replaced Johnson to call two legs as the on-track voice when Seattle Slew won the TC in 1977 as he was the track announcer at Churchill Downs from 1961-'77 before leaving midway through the 1977 spring meet at CD to replace Johnson at the start of or early in the Belmont spring meet.

@@NalaRichenbach Johnson didn't begin using that phrase until later. If you hear his call of the 1972 Belmont, he didn't use it there nor on most other calls early in his career. That also included the fabled 1976 Marlboro Cup (the famed "Forego's coming like a freight train" call Chic Anderson did for CBS) where he didn't use it either. I believe he only started that after he left NYRA for The Meadowlands in 1977 where he became their first thoroughbred track announcer.
