Secretariat - Part 3 of 5

[@maribel2418]

"the Lord was holding the reins" --that's so beautiful.

[@steveinnh9]

this HAS to be one of the greatest, if not THE greatest moments in sports history!!! What a perfect horse!!!!!!!!!!

[@wendyharvath2681]

Glorious! When I'm having a tough day, this is my elixir!! This horse's abilities was beyond words....

[@ruebenvangleason2505]

I was 14 years old that fateful day in 1973. We had a family meal and gathering. The race was on and soon captures everyone's attention. I remember looking around the room and seeing all the people's Jaws dropped open! I cheered for Secretariat that day and he has been my hero ever since. I still love and miss him.

[@BettaGirl]

Every time I see this race, I get such goosebumps!!!!

[@terrylenore2684]

I LOVE penny!!! She had the wisdom to trust the horse!! She saw way more than the horse just running! She saw the intelligence that was behind the greatness!!

[@loricharpentier1654]

This was a super horse. He just loved to run - period. R.I.P. Secretariat...you earned your wings.

[@SuperBeatlesguy]

Completely breathtaking! Pure perfection! You can't help but get chills watching this race! The 'tremendous machine' line gets me every time I watch this. :)

[@kwgrid]

"There is no horse in the history of horse racing that could have beaten Secretariat on that day." ♥

[@restless4400]

Enjoyed watching this so much. What a wonderful horse.

[@pamelablake7037]

Nothing like a gift from God. He was a champion born to be a winner. Love Secretariat.

[@Dmixx101]

YES GOD ! Crying clapping,chills ! Every time I watch this footage and/or the movie I still get chills,start to tear up. I saw Sec's STORY FOR THE 1ST TIME ONLY in 2011,love the story. Always liked horses his story made me LOVE THEM. Those who know when GOD touches any of his creatures great, small or human,great things happen. Watching this tell how people cried & cheered @ the track or watching on tv it all makes sense. A good spirit can be felt any time any place TIMELESS.

[@woodland75]

Thank you for the video ....it was awesome !!! This horse is indeed remarkable and sensation!!! Thumbs Up

[@SelGomezRawks]

i never get sick of this video!

[@jezawood84]

When I watched the movie and this race came on & he started pulling away from shame...and Penny shouts: "let him run.." I started to cry. It was the most beautiful thing I seen.

[@Lucky73678]

Pegasus. Secretariat embodies one single principle. Talent will shine under the right leadership.

[@bluealy07]

"He is moving like a tremendous machine!!" THIS HORSE WAS AN ATHLETE. Thank you so much for posting the entire ESPN segment on Secretariat.

[@dixienut99]

He was Pegasus, born without his wings and when he died God gave them back to him

[@haylalala836]

Jack Nicholas was all alone in his living room weeping while watching Secretariat, who was all alone on the Belmont racetrack, winning the definitive, ne le plus ultra Triple Crown. I don't think Jack Nicholas was sad - I think he was amazed & astounded.

[@jm1657]

Yes. Astounded, awed, overwhelmed by witnessing an ethereal happening. Its effect was like a religious experience. It touched the soul.

[@christinematton4125]

Watching this almost 50 years later ...still unbelievable 😩😩😩

[@deniseepperson1876]

I remember where,when and what to all three races! greatest horse that ever lived! there must be a heaven for great animals like him and dogs!

[@bulllea]

6:36 . just ... beautiful .

[@kwgrid]

Love Lauren's instructions to Turcotte before the Belmont: "Just leave him alone. Put him on a long hold and let him run his own race." It truly is a shame that we couldn't see him run at 4. He was just hittin' his prime.

[@joecostello1601]

I agree, I think as a four-year-old, and I am not of any knowledge with horses, but this horse was not done yet, I think he would have been an amazing 4&5 year old , assuming he did not get hurt. We will never see the like of an animal like him again. He truly was one of a kind.

[@joecostello1601]

kwgrid Had secretariat run as a four-year-old, he would have been the only two time Triple Crown winner, guaranteed.

[@melissamcfarlin6840]

@@joecostello1601 only 3 year olds are eligble for the triple crown races.

[@johnhunter2294]

@@joecostello1601 He couldn't have run in the TC but I bet he would hold every world record from a mile to a mile and a half, turf and dirt.

[@hay7199]

That record will still be standing until the end of the world.

[@Andy-ok7ev]

He. Had. More. He was. Toying with. All them one. Of. Gods. Great creatures

[@renecordova5106]

i watched this on tv, and was overjoyed that he took the lead early.........i wanted to see what he could do.........we still never saw what he was capable of doing..........

[@kwgrid]

@breyerluver22 Don't forget about his mom and maternal grandfather. "Something Royal" was an outstanding broodmare and her sire was "Princequillo" who had enormous stamina. "Secretariat" got the best of both lineages. :)

[@grsubashkrishnan]

legendary horse of all time

[@shahriz85]

This horse love posing

[@shadrach6299]

Shahrizal Ismail I guess so! Look at him.

[@MongooseFreeRider]

No wonder Secreteriat was a great galloper cause its heart was actually nearly double the size of a normal horse according to his autopsy when he died and the legend produced 600 fouls after he retired from racing..WHAT A BEAST

[@juniorjohnson5961]

I don't know how many times I've watched this it's the greatest sporting event I've ever seen at times i still get cold chills & at times i get tears in my eyes 🏇

[@roo7227]

I wouldn't have cashed that ticket either... What a moment..

[@rockyesposito7051]

What a Horse! What a race! Absolutely classic!

[@ronbossier5705]

God bless secretariat

[@lylenip]

its hard to believe there isnt a god when you see the perfect race horse

[@shilodance1st]

i love this video, and yes, secretariat was an athlete

[@katmandew2152]

George plimton is a great writer and journalist bar mostly none. All this is real. We cried teal tears that Saturday. Elect this horse for president sweet jesus......secratete for prisident. ?!!! Yes.....yes ....yes. HA .........we need a horse of course. Peace folks.

[@gracwalk]

The still picture of Secretariat, at 6:47, looks like he has a huge smile on his face.

[@Blue-rw9kj]

"Goin' too fast"! Unreal

[@carariela]

He was Flying 🙏✝️🙏

[@sohillsvettech1624]

Whats funny is the one guy says turcotte let him run to see him all out in the Belmont but he wasn't even full out in the Belmont which is a scary thought of what he could do!!!

[@lired70]

I believe it was after trainer Lucien Lauren put the blinkers on Secretariat, we saw what this horse could do! Horses have panoramic vision. Perhaps the blinkers gave him a bit of tunnel vision? Remember, this was an amazing thinking horse. He posed for pictures when he heard a camera click! With blinkers on, he could keep a better focus on the track and not the world around him. This is my observation, I could be wrong. However, the rest is history. RIP Secretariat. You and that big heart of yours continue to give to this day.

[@christhompson9486]

He ran his race the way he wanted to.

[@charlesanddaisy]

Greats Hosre ever

[@orriechristopher862]

When secretariat shook off the other horses and was clearly in the lead that’s when he got so real

[@chixellie1]

To the uneducated............NOT steroids! Secretariat had a very large heart. It weighed 22 pounds, compared to 18 for a "normal" thoroughbred. This allowed for a much greater flow of oxygen, thus allowing him to be able to do what he did. But....he had the attitude and the "want-to" also. Without that, the heart wouldn't have mattered that much:)

[@mamounalnasr2469]

Poor Sham, would've won all three races if Secretariat hadn't turned up in all of them.

[@cruiseylee]

Sham came last in the Belmont.

[@kwgrid]

Only because Martin had told Pincay to stay close to Secretariat all the way. Secretariat had Sham burned at the 6 furlong marker. If Secretariat hadn't been in that race or the other two, I'm convinced Sham would have been a TC winner.

[@Andy-ok7ev]

That. Horse was at. Play. He. Had. More. Than. That

[@JesusLivesandRules]

Imagine....the Lord says to all His angels in heaven, "Gather round all, Secretariat is racing again and he is going to run like the wind in this one...and the Lord and all His angels are watching intensely...And Secretariat hears them clapping and cheering him on from the heavens, as he puts 31 lengths in between himself and the other horses, as if he is flying.

[@Brian211978]

he could have galloped lightly down the stretch and won that!!!

[@gracwalk]

Secretariat and Sham are distance cousins they share the same dams ire

[@daveyBPM]

omg i fucking LOVE horses!!!!!

[@tikizia1981]

@IfYouThinkItsButter Thats the best joke ive heard in a while, but. i get it. it sure looks like that when u think like pancho, "Thats imposible"., good one indeed,,,,
