SECRETARIAT - 1973 Belmont Stakes - Part 5 (CBS)

Post race coverage of Secretariat's tour de force in the Belmont.
Stay tuned for the CBS broadcasts of the 1973 Kentucky Derby and Preakness as well as many other broadcasts from the past.

It’s October 2023 and Secretariat still holds all his records. To me he also holds the records of the most handsome, the smartest, with personality and charisma. How can you beat it?

[@janetgallo5720]

I’m adding this comment in 2023 and we have not seen anyone break secretariat records in 50 years. God gave us one horse like that, and probably never ever ever will again.

[@rscarbro100]

Like all said here. Probably never see another like him. All were in shock. Leaves no doubt we have seen the greatest thoroughbred of all times.

[@markroman1030]

Why do I keep watching this

[@toastecmo]

Nice shout out to his pappy Bold Ruler. I'll bet they are having fun together in heaven.

[@nolapas711]

WOW!!!! What a class act everyone was during this time! The broadcast, the "horse families"... the whole thing. A whole different era! This was soooo unbelievable! WHEW!

[@stormm787]

Jack Whitaker at 0:37 said, "You may not see another one in your lifetime," in speaking about how dominating and amazing Secretariat's performances were. So true, we still haven't.

[@jacka123100]

Greatest horse that we will ever see. What a horse.

[@nipit8]

MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL!----THAT STRETCH RUN WAS LIKE WATCHING PERFECTION!

[@lbroderick783]

I remember watching this on TV back on 1973 and crying! I will always remember Secretariat and the triple crown races that he ran and the 1980 Hockey Team beating the USSR! For me the two greatest sports moments in history that I watched and loved! Thanks for the memories Big Red!

[@Bolzovfire]

"Bold Ruler can rest in peace now!"

[@fortheloveofthehorse]

Love all three videos - I have seen them 4 times. I cry everytime. Love this horse. He's the reason I love horse racing and continue to be a fan. Can't wait for the movie. Thank you!!! :)

[@TakeBackAmerica2012]

What they don't talk about much is that this wasn't Secretariat's last race or his last win. He went on to win several more races, most notably the Woodbine in Canada, that one was a thrill and the video is on here somewhere, make sure you see it.

[@Bayareamom9]

THANK you so very much for posting these videos! Oh, what a terrific and beautiful horse this was! Absolutely thrilling and inspiring footage.

[@shazaz2122]

I dont know where you found these videos, but Im glad you did. Thank you for allowing me to re-live the Triple Crown as I saw it on tv way back in 1973. Its nice to know that Im ok for being horse crazy, Secretariat is my and always has been my horse Hero. T%hank you

[@Subypowa]

OMG! this horse had an engine inside not a heart. Thank you for posting this and allowing me to watch the real race.

[@blowe73]

IN allhonesty Secrateriate may have been thr greatest athelete of all--time, in any sport. Just look how he destroyed thr field! UNREAL

[@shazaz2122]

Yea and the coverage, I dont remember seeing all of that on the tv, so this has made it better, I just keep thinking about all those LUCKY DOGS who were actually there!!!~

[@lecelvis]

Still amazing and awesome!

[@battousaiblade]

i wasn't alive yet when this took place but i'm so happy that i am an equestrian and that i saw the movie, watched all the races and dressed my own horse as him for halloween for a show this made me cry

[@revpgesq]

far more glorious than a tremendous machine, because he was heart, flesh and spirit. this race was a hammer. sorry he had to blow up Sham and the rest of the field, but what can you do when you are the real deal of greatness? be great.

[@jm1657]

wonderful comment

[@interstategar]

yep. He never ran a race a long enough distance to even start to tire him out. The pace he was going at the Belmont finsh line,he would have broken the 1 3/4 mile world record.

[@kikiiimarieexx]

amazing! Thank you so much for posting these, as I wasn't born yet when it happened!

[@dballify]

the only time I cried over a "sports" figures death was when big Red had to be put down...the guys in my fraternity just let me be for a week as we watched the KY Derby and this race over and over all week...he was magnificent...once in a lifetime...

[@fullstrutn]

I still haven't asked my horse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you serious you mean Secretariat had another gear?

[@bhunter417]

This was great to watch! Thanks so much for posting. What a run!!! Remember it from my childhood.

[@eaurough]

Thanks for this.

[@galtzur21]

first time i see it. better then the movie.

[@kyldy]

@shazaz2122 What a memory! I own a great granddaughter of both Secratriate and Northern Dancer. Penny is my hero and role model. We are breeding my girl to a son of Gallant Man. I hope to see another triple crown before I die.

[@gotch09]

@cf1970 I thought I'd seen all of Seretariats videos,guess not-I just happened to stumble across this one.

[@rscarbro100]

Like they all said here. We probably never see one like him again. There was no other horse like him before or since. Nack said we might see another Native Dancer or Affirmed in our lifetime. I even doubt that.

[@scaramoochscaramooch]

beautiful horse, what i would give just to pet secretariat......

[@bon1042]

And some kid pushed Governor Rockefeller out of the way trying to get to Penny to shake her hand.
