Secretariat A Moment of Passion

A Performance of a lifetime. A Tribute to the 1973 Kentucky Derby where Secretariat not only shattered the Old Kentucky Derby record but awoke passion in the individual

[@johnforeman634]

I still root for him like the race is live. What a story!

[@dickbuelow8968]

Most amazing race horse ever!!!

[@Kierkegaard73]

To the memory and glory of Sham. Homer himself could not have scribed a greater Tragic Hero. His courage to stand and defy the gods at Belmont should inspire even the most cowardly of men.

Secretariat- the world's absolute best !!!

[@eryan37]

Every time I watch this clip and I've watched it a lot I regret I can only 'like' it once ...Perfection

[@johnwalsh3215]

GOD loaned us his horse, we called him Secretariat

[@bon1042]

This is really wonderful, and w/new video, I love that lone shot of Himself tearing down track in workout, and Turcotte standing up in saddle after Derby, what a thrill !!

[@donnabiggs9246]

You should have also dedicated your video to Secretariat's groomer, Eddie Sweat. I truly believe that Secretariat would have lived longer if Eddie would have stayed with him when he retired at Claiborne. Eddie loved that horse more than his own family!

[@Kierkegaard73]

Thank you. And happy are thoses who witnessed his majestic run of 73', for those can truly be called the "fortunate ones".

I was at the Belmont when he ran. Only way I can describe what I saw was I watched the greatest race horse that ever lived.

[@3crx3]

Please, please, please!!! Somewhere, somehow, maybe in another lifetime, another dimension,or maybe another timeline....PLEASE let this horse be mine!! I love him so much!!! Secretariat...nothing compares to you...! And mighty Sham!!! I would love to have you in the next stall!!!

Thank you so much for posting it. I can watch it over and over again. To me it’s like he still here. I was at the Belmont in 1973 when I was a teenager and I can see it in my memory all the time. Secretary was Pegasus that day. And every other day he was just perfect.

Secretariat the greatest racehorse of all time. Believe it or not Sham ran the 2nd fastest Kentucky Derby ever, coming in 2nd to Big Red. Secreatariat's record time was 1:59.2/5 and Sham was 1:59.4/5. Manarchos winning time was 1:59.97 in 2001. These three horses ran the only sub 2 minute Kentucky Derbys in history.

It was as if out of the midst of the Kentucky Blue Grass country this majestic horse arrived on the scene to make us believe in possibilities ago. Run for the love of it, Big Red, run.

@MrItaliano1900 - "Secretariat is widening now....he is moving like a tremendous machine....Secretariat by 12....Secretariat by 14 lengths on the turn..."

[@ImRidingmrmurphy]

amazing

[@bon1042]

Exquisite... relentless drive...what conformation, that stride, reaching and folding the turf under his hooves... yes, for Sham.... what might have been...

[@mycrystalline]

Tears of joy... :')

[@zedmarlen]

Good choice of music. Tchaikosky's 1812 Overture! Well coordinated with the action. I concur about Sham, Kierkegaard73. Great, courageous, heroic horse. Any other year, would've been a triple crown winner himself.

[@franceswitham8214]

Breaks my heart to see Sham getting whipped so much, especially in the Preakness. Ron Turcott said he would hate to have been that poor horse. Never did hear how his two teeth were broken out. Not nice owners like Big Reds. My gosh, He epitomizes all that is perfection in a horse. Big Red, Ronnie and Penny.... first class.
