The Ending to Secretariat

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THIS VIDEO .

[@loyciecasey5944]

He still holds all 3 records for the triple. What he did in the Belmont was impossible, but I watched him do it. He became a personal treasure to all of us.

[@royboy9361]

Lucky you!

[@dkuhs]

Yes , I remember watching it as well . I was a teenager . An amazing horse . What an athlete. 🏇🏇

[@chucksmith6034]

I remember watching the race, I was a teenager , what an incredible horse!!

[@samuelcollins1331]

A treasure indeed! When he made the turn at the top of the homestretch, he looked down that long, long track and simply ran himself into immortal eternity,,,,, this was not about winning a race,,,,, this was about FOREVER …….

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

One of my favorite facts about Secretariat - during the 1973 Kentucky Derby, not only did he become the first horse to run in in under two minutes, but each of his quarter split times was faster than the previous one.

[@Elliebet]

If you watch the original footage from the 1973 race, you will see that Ronnie never even used his whip from the third turn on. That horse won that race all on his own. Ronnie really did just let him run. Greatest Race Horse That Ever Lived.

Perfect Creation by God

[@davidkeenan5642]

+Pistol Skywalker Yep, let's ignore nearly 300 years of selective breeding.

[@ilanahisrael9597]

David Keenan yes, God created selective breeding, too. He was around 300 years ago. You and I were not.

[@paulyarek]

@ @@davidkeenan5642 So God created nothing?

[@hankwatson7424]

Dam god can't get credit for anything sorry yes secretariat is God's creation the perfect horse to win by 30 plus an surging is so unbelievable if it wasnt seen by millions no one would beleive it he destroyed the feild an these are no scrubs he ran against its somthing no matter how many times i watch i get misty eyed no words can define it

[@aprilreynolds4780]

I get goosebumps every single time. This movie is amazing.

[@oh10brwngrl]

I thought it was just me. I cry, too!

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

I agree. It's great that the film makers included the real Penny in the cloud. She went to every Belmont Stakes. She was there when finally a horse won the Triple Crown.

[@kentoncrockett8493]

[@rossrubino9080]

The videos of the real races are much better. Opposite of usual "Hollywood"

[@guynellerandle9742]

I LOVE this horse! The most magnificent animal that has ever lived! Perfect in every way! The horse that God built! Spectacular! But, he was surrounded by a great team that loved him! He raced on his own terms! ❤️

[@julieenslow5915]

They say Secretariat was huge, compared to other thoroughbreds, but that is a little misleading. He was 16.2 hands, as was Sham. That is on the larger size, but hardly notable. But what was huge about Secretariat was his girth - his chest - his ribcage. It had to contain that 22 pound heart, and those lungs - I don't know but i am betting they were bigger too. They needed special saddle girth straps to hold the saddle on that chest, and remember, when they started racing him - he was still growing. They kept having to replace the straps all that year, and he was in racing trim so even though he was known to be a big eater - there really was no fat on him when he was racing! Look at the pictures of him in full stride - note the muscles. On a man we would call him ripped!! And in that shape - this is what he could do. Also remember, his jockey Ron Turcoat said that at the end of the race - he was still accelerating, and did not want to stop. Hard to believe, but it seems we never saw him at full speed or know how far he could go before he had to stop accelerating - because in this race, he never stopped accelerating.

[@virginialeblue8366]

Amen!! 🙏🙏

[@spottedhooves]

One of the best horse movies ever. There will never be another Secretariat though.

[@rivaridge7211]

That's the wonderful Penny Chenery at .13 - it was a sweet touch for her to do a "cameo" in this film about her beloved horse, Secretariat. The movie naturally had a big focus on Penny's life and times, as well.

[@kaycekay4517]

Even though it's Disney, my love of this horse pulls me... The Greatest race horse we will Ever see! In this clip when he rounds the last bend and that song starts.. I'm just jello every time...

[@pattibrazil3659]

Me too! He rounds that last turn and you hear that glorious gallop and then the song starts! WOW! Best movie scene ever‼️

[@KnoxBlondie]

Read Secretariat's heart was twice the size of a normal horse heart, which gave him the stamina to run like he did. Awesome! Peace, everyone.

[@JosephTaverna-ex7fc]

Congratulations to secretariat on the other hand shams owners should have never been able to own that horse period....... tells the jockey to run him until his heart explodes pure garbaggeeee also this could have gotten real interesting had SHAM had the same size Heart one last thing how about the little horse that could will never no???????

[@cmf4321]

Seabiscuit was a great story. Secretariat was the greatest creature that ever lived. His still standing records in the Triple Crown races is something that no human has ever matched in history..nor any horse. He INCREASED his speed the entire race in the KD & Belmont. He went from last to first in the tightest turn in the Preakness from the outside & never slowed down. His Belmont win is still the world record. No horse on the planet has ever matched him..or come within 10 lengths of his record.

[@rosebarnwell6016]

The moment I am reduced to tears, amazed and exhilarates..... everytime I see this!!!!! RIP Big Red!!

[@np100]

The music is perfect for this scene. Tears each time I watch it.

[@luquitafowler7688]

I never really watched horse racing until I heard all the talk about Secretariat. Saw the Preakness & Belmont on TV. Amazing horse. Then I bought the movie on DVD when it came out & I watch it a lot, especially when I feel down about something. Secretariat just inspires & sheds doubt better than any doctor could.

[@TG-sy5ws]

Secretariat is an inspiration for all of us. Thank you for the memories.

[@barrydlewis7768]

One of the best endings a movie ever

[@816Lynnie]

Every time I watch this Movie I get teary eyed and have goose bumps. Ella and I watched it every day for a month. Beautiful Movie xo

[@dorothymalloy1474]

Yes he did, Ronnie just let him run & when the play that song it really got to me because that's the song they play for him when they were washing him & he just love that sing. The greatest horse of all time

[@leert2698]

Watching that race never gets old. Amazing

[@janetgallo5720]

50 years later, he still hold all the records

[@peacheslovesjesus]

Secretariat was just doing what GOD put him on this planet to do. When we do what GOD called us to do, we can't help but be CHAMPS! JESUS CHRIST is LORD FOREVER! Go out and be what GOD has called you to be and you will be the BEST!

[@drumma4lyfe06]

Penny at 2:40 FTW!!!! Secretariat ran like the wind. The scary part about that race...he was STILL pulling away when he crossed the finish line. I don't care what anyone says. He holds the record for the Preakness too in my book. Best Race Horse Ever. RIP.

[@nancyjanzen5676]

And he wasnt even lathered.

[@SuperBeatlesguy]

'He is moving like a tremendous machine!' That's a line from the actual race call at Belmont. A great line!

[@mikehughes8302]

Eventhough i know the ending i always get goosebumps watching this. But I do love it when he says "Ronnie don't fall off!" Always makes me laugh.

[@Skyeyez99]

For a horse to be able to run that fast at full sprint for over a mile has got to be exilarating for the horse. I wish I could run like that!

[@lindafurr2404]

After watching Secretariat run all other race horses seem so little, weak and pencil necked. He was a beautiful animal. So muscular, beautiful red coat and he had such a princely attitude. He was the king!

[@virginialeblue8366]

I agree 100%!

[@daveconerly1450]

I'm a hundred and fifty years old and I still cry like a baby every single time I watch this.

[@slbw81118]

I was 14 and I still remember watching Secretariat win the Triple Crown. I still get chills when I see the footage.

[@VrgniaMailman]

Yeah! ALL ... and I do mean ALL .... of the so-called horse experts ate their words that day. They all thought 3/4 of the way through the race that Secretariat was "going too damn fast." Those words are taken from ESPN's SportsCentury documentary on Big Red. The enormous red colt had his own agenda. This movie is terrific, by the way. And so was Seabiscuit.

[@TheMrmartind40]

One of the most memorable and inspirational clips of the greatest athletes in history and perhaps the best single year in racing of any kind.

[@tiejasmine]

He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing. He does not shy away from the sword. He can not stand still when the trumpet sound.

Secretariat was the greatest racehorse to ever run the racetrack. There will never be a horse who could even come close to Secretariat’s Belmont performance

[@jimmccloud2098]

They did a great job with the movie. The younger race fans may never have known how great Secretariat was if it were not for the movie and You Tube.

[@decode4006]

Watching this made every fiber of my being rejoice and stand on chilled ice as I felt the spirit move through me. Amazing I'm about to shout

[@kimp7160]

I just wish this movie didn't ignore her other really good horse Riva Ridge. He won the Derby the year before. I know they were building up the "underdog" narrative and it was a Disney movie. Sort of like how the Seabiscuit movie made War Admiral 18hands high when he also was a small horse (though still bigger than the Biscuit) But wasn't Riva a big part of the syndicate deal? It was still a big gamble. I do really like the movie. I just miss Riva's presence

[@whoohooles123]

I cry everytime I watch this movie, especially the ending !

[@sarajanesmith3892]

Of all the horses that day Secretariat had the biggest heart!

[@kevinpantera4429]

[@skittlesoftball17]

Dare you go Red! Eddie ALWAYS called him RED

[@PROV-g2g]

"He's moving like a tremendous machine!"

[@cmf4321]

@mjc6184 Sec increased his speed throughout the KD & Belmont. He still holds both track records 38 years later. What he did in the Belmont has never been done in history, before or since, when he ran the Belmont. He not only increased his speed the ENTIRE race, after the 1st quarter mile, he broke the world track record EACH quarter mile & was still speeding up at the finish line. It defied the laws of nature. The SOLE athlete in history to accomplish that feat:-) We'll never see it again..

[@sarajanesmith3892]

I agree with you @loyicie. I too watched Secretariat run and couldn't believe he did it in record time and distance!

[@realbadmanrealbadman2862]

Secretariat: " hold my oats, put away the whip and hold on Ronnie. I got this😂.what an athlete 🐎. The horse that became da goat 🐐🤣. Epic

[@sarajanesmith3892]

I would love to see Bold Ruler and Secretariat run!

[@ArtisticJunkie]

I have a pic of secretariat winning the Belmont stakes and Ron looking over his shoulder (signature of Ron, too)

I had the pleasure of watching the greatest racehorse in history, in person. As many times that I’ve seen the movie or Secretariat’s race footage I still tear up. I even have a hard describing his brilliance to someone without getting emotional. Simply, the greatest racehorse in history!

[@conniefoss3382]

The GOAT of horses

[@ickiepoo]

Love the movie, but they should have used the actual race call. In 1973, the announcer didn't know what to say as Big Red got further and further from the other horses. A tremendous machine. Greatest horse in racing history.

[@Vaelsung1]

Absolutely!!! Why didn't they use the original race call by Chic Anderson! I've thought that ever since I walked away from the theater to my car in the parking lot after seeing it. I loved the movie, but the substitute race caller really took away from what would have been an even more emotional moment.

[@secretariatgirl4249]

There was some sort of lawsuit over that...but they Preakness on the TV was actual footage. This was such a hokey movie, and religious stuff was OVER THE TOP. Penny was NOT a religious type to that extent. Wish someone would make a GOOD movie about Secretariat...he deserves MUCH BETTER that this...

[@Agent1996films]
