Why was it wise to retire Secretariat after his 3-year-old career: FOREGO!!!

[@stonesinmyblood27]

Whenever I watch a race and some horse goes outside, from behind, way back in the pack and is coming on strong, I yell “Forego!”

[@Caroni100]

According to The Bloodhorse "U.S. Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th. Century" Forego is ranked in # 8 posición. 57 starts, 34 wins, 9 seconds, 3 thirds and U.S. $ 1.938.957,00 earned. Forego won eight Eclipse Awards, including "Horse of the Year" in 1974, 1975 and 1976 "Champion Handicap Horse" and "Champion Sprinter" 👍

I really loved Secretariat but Forego was my sentimental favorite horse of all time. Here's a thought - it's the early 1970's and Forego and Zenyatta happen to be born at that time. Imagine if Forego had been bred with Zenyatta before he was gelded of course - holy moly what a horse that would have produced!

Was my favorite horse to watch! Was always exciting. And to win carrying those weights, was unreal. He was one of the greats!

[@bailinnumberguy]

Absolutely brilliant horse who peaked later in his career. I remember all those handicap races where Forego was carrying maximum weight and mowing down all opposition down the stretch. A monster and among the greatest thoroughbreds of all time.

As a working student at the Kentucky Horse Park (1993), I groomed Forego. It was only later that I realized I was sharing space with royalty. Very large, often mean royalty. He taught me to grow eyes in the back of my head. Now, I see all horses as royalty. He was a good teacher. I miss him.

Forego was without a doubt one helluva horse. He carried high weights like it was the thing to do. I saw him run 4 times and I can truly say I was amazed everytime he ran. Greatest handicap champion I ever saw.

Forego was carrying as much as Pharlap did. Sign of a truly great horse .Poor Pharlap was made to carry 149 pounds ( 68 kilograms ) in the 1931 Melbourne Cup. He also won in a track winning time , carrying 129 pounds ( 58.5 kilograms ) .

[@jeffgarmon1]

What a great, big, powerful horse. Carrying all that weight and winning without saving any ground. All those races and won over half of them.

[@tomasromero254]

Forego one of the best handicap horse of all times

[@taxisteve929]

[@sarahcagle971]

Forego won the 1976 Marlboro Cup at 1 1/4 miles, carrying 137 lbs, on a sloppy track, and won in
