Ron was a courageous gentlemen and greatest jockey. Ron and Secretariat were a perfect duo and picture of perfection. I’m so sorry for his tragic accident.

[@jm1657]

Wonderful piece about the great & courageous Mr. Turcotte. May he & his family continue to thrive.

[@susanfitch1994]

Ron, way to keep Big Red in your heart and sharing! Thank you so much

[@tcmHearts]

Maybe we should petition for “a moment of prayer” during every horse race. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for the safety of the horses and jockeys!!

[@SharonSharp-mn3ko]

All believers already DO just that.

[@spicyirwin5835]

Horses love to race. Scum that dose horses I pray their karma is felt in every life. Horses have such sm legs for their bodies. I look at gymnasts & see their future but they still compete.💜🙏💜🙇‍♀️

[@MarianneCatherine]

I always do pray before each race. It's so good that you're mentioning it! At that moment, I also pray for every horse race 🏇 in the world that day. Blessings to us all!!!🙏🏇🙏

What a Wonderful Human being. Amazing special to the man who run SECRETARIAT. BEST HORSE EVER!!! Me. TURCOTTE, you are such an EXAMPLE for others. Thanks You! God Bless!

[@kundikishore]

There is no other horse will take place in secretariat 🐎, what a great Heart touching story❤

[@redblack8414]

A great documentary about an extraordinary man.👍

[@thea5714]

As a 13 year old I watched Secretariat's historic run live, simply awestruck and inspired by both horse and rider. Thank you for this documentary, really enjoyed it~!

[@susanfitch1994]

I was 18.. I was in awe

[@spicyirwin5835]

Ron had the best horses under him & I admire him also the way he rides that wheelchair with gratitude & not a pity party. What a high to ride Secretariat tho🏇❤️🏇🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@trackside77]

What a wonderful film. Ron Turcotte is an inspiration to all. I love the way that he's respected by jockeys past and present, and fans. I'm British, and was 9 when Secretariat won the triple crown. I love watching the footage.

[@gleik_17gk5]

Nossa, que imagem, 02:37 nunca tinha visto desse ângulo , é fenomenal uma máquina realmente. Comecei a ver corrida todo ano por causa dessa história desse monstro em geral da fazenda.

[@TheTadziofan]

I feel so bad for Sham, for how he suffered under the whip. He was a very good horse and if I were the owner I would not have allowed that kind of whipping.

[@lucybarrington4634]

I feel bad for Sham too. I wish he had a wonderful human team like Secretariat did. Hopefully he had a better time in retirement.

[@Psyfi85]

Yep, Sham was an absolute warrior. Not only fighting through the incessant whipping (out of stride no less) and he ripped 2 teeth out leaving the gate in Kentucky Derby bleeding profusely the whole way. Even so, he breaks the record along with Red. He also creamed the rail in Preakness but still pushed through, and he finished Belmont on 3 legs. Perhaps I’m partial because he’s my favorite.

[@Psyfi85]

@@lucybarrington4634Martin was an excellent trainer but Pincay is another story. Sham sired many stakes winners at stud, like Secretariat he was an outstanding broodmare sire.

[@lindahutson6535]

I would not have allowed that either, terrible!

[@BethPeters-c4e]

I felt the same way about that whip and Sham. I think they should outlaw that whip. It's abuse. Makes me so upset. Poor thing.

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Ron Turcotte had the best ride of his life on Secretariat at Belmont.

[@MarianneCatherine]

So very true. It gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes each time I watch it!!! He was a blessed man! Thank you for this documentary. 🙏😊🙏🏇🙏

[@JulieAnderocci]

The greatest horse that everlived❤❤❤❤

[@SueProv]

Really like Ronnie Turcotte. This was great. I'd like to see a documentary on Eddie Sweat.

[@susanfitch1994]

I will always watch Secretariat and Ronny!!

[@susanfitch1994]

Ron you were always humble

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Belmont, Secretariat decided it was his race, Ron Turcotte was only there for the ride.

[@bigstyx]

Most of us to sit on the sidelines and watch, but a few of us like Ron end up spending eternity alongside another champion Secretariat forever being linked to a champion of champions

[@JulieAnderocci]

Being a jockey Isa very dangerous sport

Thank you Ronny!!!! 🍁👍🏻

What is weird, Secretariat hated roses.

[@jm1657]

That’s always amused me! He rejected the fanciest of flowers 😆I guess he was a PB&J kind of a guy 😃

[@SSaugaCriss]

“it’s getting tougher & tougher, horses are more fragile” because they’re run more often or what did he mean?

[@olwenrose2780]

Not sure but lots about race horses now being bred and inbred for speed so that physiologically their speed out strips their ability to sustain the demands of running that fast...number of fractures and breakdowns etc..

[@garym2263]

A great guy! I'm sorry but can anyone keep a dry eye seeing him next to Big Red's grave?

[@digitalsoldier-1742]

Ronny was just as established and prideful. Take nothing from either.

[@mikebamburg2020]

Always remember he was just a baby
