Claiborne Farm and Memories of Secretariat. Graveyard / cemetery

[@donnydoit7678]

50 years later secretariat still gives you vibes and goosebumps lifting your spirit up.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

1983, I took my 4 daughters to Claiborne Farm to see Secretariat during a vacation trip to Florida. We got to talk to him and pet him. He liked my daughters but me, not so much. During the trip back home, we visited him again. He seemed to remember us. They allowed my daughters to brush him a little bit. All four daughters kept the little amount of his hair from the brushing Treasured memories for sure.

[@bethpeters3187]

Wonderful video. I could absolutely identify with you when you said times were good with your life and family then. Mine was as well. How I miss those years and long for them to return. Secretariat I think brings that to so many people. Your video was just so nice to watch. I've been watching alot of Secretariat lately because he represents a wonderful time of the past that will never be forgotten. I was only 5 when he was champion so I had no idea who he was, but I knew I was happy. RIP Secretariat

[@LauraGibson-rr1jp]

My husband Gene and I saw Secretariat in 1989 a few months before he was put down. He was the most beautiful horse I have ever seen. He liked to have his picture taken and would pose for the camera. He was truly America's horse! The above film brought back great memories of the greatest race horse ever.

[@caroleanderson221]

I have the privilege to own one of Secretariat's great great granddaughter's. She looks so much like him. I think Secretariat was the greatest racehorse of all time.

I was in Okinawa (U.S. Army) when he won the Triple Crown. Our day room (with one TV) was half full at Kentucky Derby day. It was packed at Preakness day. Our CO brought in a bigger TV and placed it in our dining hall for the Belmont (breakfast was served earlier than usual so the hall can be emptied and filled with chairs) - it was standing room only. Halfway through the Belmont, the hall was rocking and shook like an earthquake, everybody were screaming. I'll never forget that day..everyone were hi-fiving and hugging everyone - for one moment that day, he brought us all together as proud Americans and as one. Big Red - best that ever was, best that ever will be//

I was able to visit Claiborne Farms back in 1973, and saw several of the stallions loose in their paddocks:. Buckpasser, Sir Ivot, Hoist the Flag (and I think Nijinski), other names I can't remember. What struck me was that they all behaved like any horse I've ever seen. They would run up to the fence and beg for attention, I remember Sir Ivot did tricks. This 15-year-old girl was thrilled.

[@janetgallo5720]

Secretariat did make the 70s a wonderful decade compared to all the other stuff we had to live through. That’s why God gave us secretariat. He was a gift to us to uplift us. And he did. He was perfect, his looks,his temperament. His speed, his manners, his star power. tEverything about him was a masterpiece.

The Belmont in 1973 is like a moment in time where everyone seems to remember where they were and who they were with.

[@Makado14]

Boy you got That right. I was 12 when Secretariat won the triple crown, watching and yelling with my dad, who was formerly a trainer.

[@Makado14]

When he won the Belmont, I was saying, "he's going to fast, he isn't going to make it. My dad said," relax, he is OK, he is doing it easily ". Truer words were never spoken.

[@theearl1477]

Like the great journalist Bill Nack said "we'll never see anything like this again." Growing up in this era were not happy times. It took a race horse to lift our spirits and unite the country with something bigger than life itself. The day of this race was my last day as a teenager. To this day it is still the greatest single sporting event I've ever seen in my lifetime. I cry every time I see Big Red run in the Belmont. It was truly supernatural to the likes many believe we might never see again.

Seeing Lawrence grooming Secretariat brought back many memories. He was probably the best stallion man in Kentucky at the time. He was incredibly gentle but persuasive. Secretariat had a unique personality. The grooms would line up on a first come first served basis with the mares they had brought. While waiting, we all knew when Secretariat was in the breeding shed because when he came off a mare after covering he would let out a high pitched squeal. We would all just smile at each other. Secretariat was more than a racehorse. He was a miracle of nature revealed as an equine god who did things that no horse before or since has been able to match.

[@bon1042]

Hi, I just meant to change Secretariat's time to the correct time, it was faster (and probably could have been even faster if Turcotte had pushed him). And then I remembered that poor Sham was right behind him. He too broke the 2:00 min. record. Like your video.

[@BaseballandGraveyards]

great memories.

[@marysueeasteregg]

@Thomas Dauphan Your memory of the Derby is not quite correct. Yes, (*in that race* ) Secretariat ran each quarter faster than the preceding. He did not make a sudden move at or entering the turn, like Zenyatta or other deep closers typically do. He was already in 5th or 6th, not the back of the pack, well before entering the final turn, and 4th entering the turn. A more serious error: Secretariat was NOT speeding up in the final quarter of the Belmont. (He probably did accelerate some in the final half furlong, when Turcotte, realizing the record was within reach, began to actively urge him.) Secretariat was slowing down throughout most of the Belmont, albeit more gradually than the other horses, hence his continuing to increase his lead. His 6 furlong split time as called by Anderson was 1:09 4/5. Do the math: if he had run the second half of the Belmont equally fast, his final time would have been 1:19 3/5, not 2:24 flat. His furlong splits for the Belmont (taken from Bill Nack's "Secretariat" were: 12 1/5 11 2/5 11 2/5 11 1/5 12 11 3/5 12 1/5 12 1/5 12 12 4/5 12 1/5 12 4/5 All his sub-12 split times are in the first half of the race. His slowest eighth splits are the final and third to last furlongs. His half mile splits are 46 1/5 48 49 4/5. In the fast half of the Belmont Secretariat (and Sham, up to about 5/8) were running faster than many good sprinters run sprint races of that distance. *No horse* is going to accelerate for long after running at that pace. Onlookers -- including Nack and Lucien Laurin -- were *horrified* at how fast the initial furlongs of the 1973 Belmont were being run. That pace in a 12- furlong race would be expected to make a horse collapse, as indeed is what happened to Sham. The glory of Secretariat's Belmont is that he had the stamina to finish the the race in sub-13 splits after setting that torrid pace. Seattle Slew, in arguably his greatest race, ran the first half of the the 12-furlong 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup in even faster time, 1:09 2/5, while challenged by Affirmed. Affirmed faded. Slew hung on for a very game, close second to Exceller, in time of 2:27 1/5. 2:27 1/5 is a good time for that distance, faster than most Belmonts, but the great Slew slowed down more than Secretariat (after going a wee bit faster in the first half of a mile and a half race.)

I'll never understand why they let him get so heavy. That's what causes laminitis. I met him after the 86 Kentucky Derby when I drove to Claiborne Farm. I was surprised how fat he was.

[@monahawk]

I wondered if that weight had something to do with the laminitis. People get something quite similar...I worked doing med transcription for 13 years and have heard about almost every malady that can strike a person, especially as we get older. When people gain weight and stop doing as much exercise they have inevitable problems with feet, ankles and knees and sometimes many other areas. A rich diet will take a toll and being overweight isn't good for anyone. Look up causes of laminitis and being overweight is the first condition mentioned. Love You Big Red...

[@rayhanes926]

It was poor management and not enough care after the laminitis set in. All they would have to do is make a special shoe with a slightly concave bar just blow the coffin bone to keep it from rotating down. I had a paint stallion this happened to we put those shoes on him in three months he was fine and I was riding him again.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

Not only being overweight, but standing in a stall all day, and just getting turned out for a few hours (they graze; still eating) is not enough exercise. Secretariat never had a saddle on him after his last race, and taken for daily rides as he should have been. The great Man O' War was exercised religiously under saddle during his retirement. He lived to be 30. My wife's old Thoroughbred was ridden until the age of 32. He passed away at 34. Neither him nor MOW had laminitis.

[@Gwenhamara]

Are you kidding me? You think Seth Hancock is guilty of poor management and not enough care? Egotistical much?

You are correct that Arthur B. Hancock Sr. (1875 -1957) did originally own Ellerslie Stud in Virginia, but he and his wife founded Claiborne in Paris, KY in 1910, decades before Bold Ruler or Secretariat were born, on land in inherited by his wife. So camerasober is correct: Secretariat was *conceived* at Claiborne Farm, where his sire Bold Ruler stood at stud, but Secretariat was *born* at Christopher Chenery's Meadow Farm in Virginia. Secretariat's dam Somethingroyal would have been shipped, while pregnant with Secretariat, for her planned 1970 breeding to First Landing, who stood stud at the Meadow. Secretariat was born there.
