Omg. Happy Anniversary Secretariat. Condolences to Eddie Sweat. A beautiful horse that you would never forget. Love them both.

I was there at Woodbine with friends that day when Big Red raced his last race at Woodbine in Oct '73. It was a miserable, cold and rainy day, but it was well worth it to go and watch this terrific horse win. History in the making. Woodbine was JAM PACKED that day to watch Secretariat. What a day, wow. RIP Big Red.

I just absolutely love the call when Secretariat takes the lead, it was just what everyone came to see and the call was perfect... there he goes there he goes, gives me goosebumps!!!

I was so disappointed when they stopped racing Secretariat...a void that has never been filled since. Alot of great race horses, but they retired the greatest legend too early. He's still the greatest race horse of all time...

I love hearing Eddie Maple describe the race. After the Belmont, Ron Turcotte told Lucien that Big Red was going easy... imagine that.

❤ THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS EPIC LAST RACE. SECRETARIAT....❤ ALL HEART AND SOME FAST LEGS.....AND GREAT JOCKEY....BET HE NEVER WENT THAT FAST ON ANY OTHER RACE HORSE. I HEARD HE COULD GO 5O MPH.AND I'M PRETTY SURE SECRETARIAT MAY HAVE GONE THAT FAST AT THE BELMONT. SO GLAD SECRETARIAT WAS ABLE TO GIVE TRIBUTE TO CANADA. I LOVE THIS RACE....IT SEEMED LIKE HE WAS JUST GETTING STARTED....I BELIEVE HE WANTED TO RUN FURTHER IF THEY WOULD HAVE LET HIM. GOD BLESS YOU ALL & ALL OF THOSE WHO MADE SECRETARIATS LIFE A LIFE OF ADVENTURE AND LOVE. GOD BLESS ALL THE HORSE RACING FANS TOO. R.I.P. = RACE IN PEACE : BIG RED. LOVE AND PRAYERS. P.S. MY LATE SON HAD BOUGHT A PAIR OF COWBOY BOOTS WHEN HE WAS OUT WEST. I LOOKED AT THE NAME ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOTS IT SAID......"ARIAT". AND I HEARD SOME ANOUNCER AT ONE OF THE TRIPILE CROWN RACES RECENTLY SAYING THAT THEY NAMED A BRAND OF COWBOY BOOTS AFTER SECRETARIAT. NAMED "ARIAT". ZACH LOVED THOSE COWBOY BOOTS. AND I LOVE THAT SOMEONE MADE COWBOY BOOTS IN HONOR OF SECRETARIAT. MAY THEY BOTH MEET EACH OTHER IN HEAVEN AND RACE IN PEACE TOGETHER.

I was on the Great Lakes on the ship Reserve ( sister ship to Edmond Fitzgerald ). It was a exciting race and when Secretariat won 🏆 I had tears in my eyes 👀.

What a great twosome 💙🇺🇸💙

i love the way Eddie Maple narrated Secretariat's last race.He spoke with warmness and respect for this great horse.I also watched the you tube Laffit Pincay interview whwrein Pincay said Secretariat is the greatest horse he has ever seen.

Nack describes in detail the circumstances around each loss that was mismanagement. Tho first race at 2 he was slammed/sandwiched out of gate. Watch it here and how he weaves thru and cld have won it with just few seconds more. You ought to read that bio, it's fabulous. Belmont alone is 8 pgs long ! All the tension and buildup is there on all his races, first time Charles Hatton laid eyes on him was surreal, gave me goosebumps. First time Arcaro looked him over and what he said.

Secretariat The "Pegasus" of our human world.

[@Psyfi85]

Any frame of him is worthy but the end is spectacular.

[@suestefaniuk4027]

[@depaola63]

He was like Elvis and Ali and Sinatra ALL in a Big Red' beautiful horse !! I was 10 in 1973, LOVE " GOD'S HORSE ! "

[@gotch09]

2 words-"living locomotive".

[@jenshaw1509]

I have never been to a horse race but I felt great when I walked onto the Woodbine racetrack recently. I could walk with such ease!

The last shot of Big Red with Eddie Sweat holding him he looked like a fire breathing dragon. So handsome and majestic.

[@debbieriley3452]
