[@PAKiller1]

I got to see him last year.. Justify was also there... what a handsome horse.. beautiful.. sorry that I didn’t know I could have seen Secretariot .. that would have been the ultimate for me

[@myronschabe]

Secretariat's grave, he has been gone for a while now.

[@ethanh2488]

Great Video. Nice to see Brian and AP so chilled out. And boy does Uncle Mo look handsome.The black marking on his face makes him look so regal and studly ;)

[@juliehertz8768]

AMERICAN PHAROAH LOOKS FANTASTIC, I AM SO GLAD HE HAS PACKED ON THE POUNDS AND HIS TAIL HAS GROWN AFTER HIS STABLE MATE BIT HALF OF IT OFF.

[@DivineWarriorAyra]

I think he lost closer to two thirds of his tail, not just half. I call Mr. Z Mr. Tail Thief.

[@terryrussel523]

Really ?! Hadn't heard about that ! Do they know who started that little felonious pastoral escapade ?

[@juliehertz8768]

NO HORSE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AND MAJESTIC AS THE IMMORTAL SECRETARIAT,BUT HIS GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDSON IS LOOKING SO MUCH BETTER HES FILLED OUT JUST NICELY

[@Frotsiepu]

why caps..

[@cade_gov7977]

to bad his grandson was killled on the track

[@nayrod4529]

Being the first grand slam winner is never mentioned.. We'll probably never see that again in our life time.

[@alcoholya]

well, Breeder's Cup didn't start until 1984?

[@alcoholya]

Secretariat would have almost certainly done it...

[@kevinmichael9482]

@@alcoholya Being the first grand slam champion in thirty-years was an impressive feat of athleticism; it may three-decades before we see another three-year-old match the feat of American Pharaoh.

Beautiful horse

[@angelaainsworth1715]

He is such a great looking horse!

[@skvlls]

I like that they phrase it "he one xxx race" instead of the rider. Its really all about the amazing vessels that carry them through the race, not the rider.

That’s right show the horse he is king of the track all the races made lot of money I see him he beautiful a still heather and happy he is so smart he knows he is a king 👑 you go darling Love ❤️ you

[@brittanyritenour4695]

he is such a buddy

[@kona1761]

Would have loved to see him run in Dubai. However, I completely understand why that was not on the table

[@Kms00738]

Man, he has filled out nicely, only imagine how freakishly good a matured AP at four might've been, not that he had anything else to prove.

[@drewrockwell8000]

He would have great but I still believe Justify would beat him in a race

[@ryleigh995]

Drew Rockwell. Nah American pharaoh would have won not by much but honestly there’s no way to tell

[@manafalmola2634]

great glory

[@kevinhoward9593]

America Pharaoh is the only Glam Slam winner in the history of horse racing. everyone seems to sidestep that. He went from a racing horse, to a expensive sperm bank.

[@candieland4276]

Why do the veins show all over racehorses so much, opposed to regular horses? Is it just because they are muscular?

[@PurplePoppyAnimator]

Yep! Muscles can cause the veins to pop, and Thoroughbreds hot up and get excited very easily, after exercise or getting extremely excited, sweating up etc the veins can be seen "bulging" through the skin. This happens to humans too but on a lesser scale!

[@brittanyritenour4695]

He looks super sweet

He’s very easygoing reportedly even after starting his stud career

If he's anything like my mare, he probably did have a bath 5 minutes before shooting the video lol. At least he's not a mostly white paint!

Reminds me of haviah

[@unitedrealtalk5087]

Amazing to think a small Irish farmer called Vincent O Brien created all this.

[@graciepayton4788]

No wonder they breed him He won the triple crown first of all (who doesn't know) and plus I pretty sure he's secertairts great great great grandson correct me if I'm wrong please lol beautiful horse maby next year when I go to Kentucky again I can meet him

[@thebadace1]

He’s not the first horse to win a triple crown. First to win a Grand Slam

[@ryleigh995]

HarvardLaw22'. They never said he was the first horse to win the triple crown

[@suddenlywombats]

he's more handsome than my boyfriend

made me laugh

[@Turboy65]

And probably much bigger down there....

[@kenkal1829]

he looks like my wife!!!

[@wrestlinghistory2021]

STFU

[@JennLeeBridges0823]

😂😂

[@terryrussel523]

Guess how many of their studs have Somethingroyal and Bold Ruler as a common ancestor, as well as the genetic, extra large heart "X Factor".

[@jaciharris7735]

Well, American Pharoah probably has the extra large heart gene. I think Secretariat is in his maternal line and Secretariat had an enlarged heart. It wasn't the only thing that made American Pharoah great, but it helped!

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Q. Why doesn't the owner of Zenyatta take her to American Pharoah ?

[@jeffreyhill1497]

@@MarkRobertCuthbert I've been saying this that would be straight royalty of a bloodline

[@deborahwebb3736]

I am glad to see that Ashford does not let their stallions get too fat. That's the mistake Claiborne made with Secretariat and he developed laminitis.

[@Thor_the_giant_schnauzer]

Breed him with Zenyatta!!! OMG what a offspring that would be

[@HorseRacingNation]

You know Zenyatta has yet to produce a winner on the racetrack. ~Matt

[@bishlap]

@@HorseRacingNation true, breeding in theory only can produce a super horse, in practice, rare.

[@ryleigh995]

Most great racehorses don’t have the best offspring take secretariat for example he had about 500 kids and about 5 where good

[@abelardocarmona3318]

the best horse made ea person have owners trainer and jockey are a horse made know word wise are the best forever

[@hamatndiaye907]

IT'S VERY INTERESSANT FOR BREEDERS TO USE THIS GRATE HORSE RACER AS A STALLION.

[@aracellyfrancisco99]

Beautiful horse,well groom not fat

[@dragonflygamez1147]

What's his breed?

[@jaciharris7735]

The pedigree isn't too bad, but yeah, it's not really blue-blood. Then again, you don't need a blue-blood pedigree to be a great horse. I don't think Secretariat had a blue-blood pedigree, or Seattle Slew.

[@neverwithoutnalani]

HorseyPlays his breed is thoroughbred :)

[@MarkRobertCuthbert]

Jaci H. - just Google All Breed Pedigree and put in: Secretariat you will see he is a Grandson of the great Nasrullah (who was by NEARCO). Secretariat's Dam Sire was "Princequillo - One of four major large-hearted sires (also War Admiral, Blue Larkspur, and Mahmoud)".

[@marysueeasteregg]

Jaci Harris Secretariat was as blue-blooded as TBs get! I've seen the misconception on the Net before, that he wasn't particularly well bred; I'm not sure where it's coming from. Possibly because many of his progenitors raced in Europe, and Americans are not aware of how important they were as runners or stallions. His sire Bold Ruler, who was American bred and raced, was the most successful sire in North America of his time, as well as a Hall of Fame racehorse. Bold Ruler was a 3X U.S. champion, including 1957 Horse of the Year and U.S. sprint champion the following year. Until Northern Dancer came along, Bold Ruler probably had been the greatest North American based sire of the 20th century; he was top North American sire 8 times, the most of any stud in the 20th century. Bold Ruler's direct male line was, as noted by sainglain below, Nasrullah and Nearco, both great racehorses (in Europe) and both outstanding sires. Nasrullah was a champion 2-yr-old in the UK; undefeated Nearco, a 3X champion in Italy, ranks among Europe's all-time greats. Bold Ruler's dam, Miss Disco, was a stakes winning sprinter, and the daughter of Discovery, 2X champion U.S. handicap horse. A Hall of Famer runner, Discovery wasn't very successful siring racehorses, but he proved a terrific broodmare sire: he was damsire of Native Dancer as well as Bold Ruler. Secretariat's dam, Somethingroyal, did nothing on the track, but that's not unusual for successful broodmares. Producer of multiple stakes winning and stakes placed horses, she was already considered a blue hen (top class broodmare) before she gave birth to Secretariat at the relatively advanced age of 18. She was well-bred, being a daughter of Irish-bred, American raced Princequillo. Princequillo was a successful, though not Hall of Famer caliber, racehorse, winner of multiple important stakes, and is generally considered the best long distance U.S. runner other than Kelso (courtesy of the large heart, mentioned below); his own sire, Prince Rose, is often thought the best horse ever to have raced in Belgium. Even more pertinent to Somethingroyal's value as a broodmare, Princequillo was a great broodmare sire. In addition to Secretariat, Princequillo was damsire of European Horse of the Year Mill Reef, U.S. Horse of the Year Fort Marcy, and Secretariat's rival Sham. Somethingroyal's dam, Imperatrice, was a stakes winner and a producer of 6 stakes winners, a blue hen herself from a line of blue hens. So Secretariat came from an immensely powerful sire line, and an immensely powerful female family. Many of the males up close in his pedigrees were great runners *and* great sires; five of the seven mares in his first three generations are blue hens. His pedigree had both speed (Bold Ruler and Miss Disco) and stamina (Princequillo), and was strong on both grass and dirt. Ron Turcotte, btw, thought Secretariat, who was turf champion as a three-year-old, better on grass than on dirt, a scary thought.

[@industriales31]

Too much talk; not too much graphic of American Pharoah.

[@elgransenor1472]

Can he sire an English Triple Crown winner? I say Yes!

[@dasmugsch]

love to see shanghai bobby is dirty! dirty horses are happy horses :)

[@kevinsmall2132]

AP should produce some good runners, he's got Empire Maker and Unbridled in his pedigree line.

[@mochimacaroon400]

Kevin Small And how far back are these horses in his pedigree?

[@marysueeasteregg]

2nd generation for Empire Maker (grandsire), 3rd for Unbridled.

[@lespangen]

Thought he was in Australia maybe he’s shuttling?

[@philipyeboah124]

Pretty much the same life Usain Bolt has.

[@aracellyfrancisco99]

[@aircharter1852]

Chris Smith A lot of that is possibly AI(Artificial Insemination)

[@incrediblykatie9351]

It's actually all live cover if the owners plan on registering their horses with the jockey club and having them run. At least that's what I was told when I toured WinStar last summer

[@mochimacaroon400]

IncrediblyKatie​ just realised I forgot the "Possibly" in my post. Anyways, that is true. All I knew is that back when AI was a huge thing and had little regulations people were using it to attempt to make the 'perfect racehorse' and that it is still used to test a studs sperm. Last I herd about it was that it was 'legalized' by the jokey club for long distance breeding, but I don't keep up with that mess...

When they're winning, their value is their legs and their heart. After they've won a lot, now the valuable part is the twig and berries. What a great way to retire! "Your job is to have sex with many FINE partners!" "Aw, gee, boss, do I HAVE to?"

the modern era thoroughbred is overrated - that's why the only race a year and half then retire. The new breed has no bottom, all speed and can't carry weight. We're seeing speed freaks destroy an industry.

Do they ride these horses for exercise these guys I cant imagine going from a basically pro athlete to living in a stable all day.
