Don't know if anyone else caught this but I have to correct the narrator. He said that Secretariat retired to stud at his place of birth Claiborne Farm, but he was not born at Claiborne Farm he was born at Meadows Stable in Doswell Virginia in July of 1970.

Majestic Prince was an example of an owner going to the well once too often. I think most owners now understand that they hire the best trainer that you trust, the trainer hires the best jockey for that horse, the rider calls the shots as the race unfolds. Charlie Wittingham said, "I don't give riders instructions...the good ones don't need them and the bad ones don't listen." No telling how good Majestic Prince could've been if they stopped on him when Johnny Longden suggested.

EVEN CHEAP HORSES BEAT SEC, (HERBULL, MASTER ACHIEVER) A SMALL SPRINTER NAMED "ONION"" BEAT SEC AT SARATOGA IN THE WHITNEY STAKES!! A ALLOWANCE HORSE NAMED PROVE OUT, DESTROYED SECRETARIAT IN THE WOODWARD STAKES AT BELMONT. SEC WAS FAR AWAY FROM AS GREAT AS NOVICES LIKE YOU LIKE TO MAKE HIM

Polo you're right. He is the greatest. His first loss he was ridden horribly, after being cut cut off by 2 other horses at the start. Second race he lost as a 2 yr old he won the Champagne Stakes but was disqualified for interfering with Step Nicely. He won by a few lengths. At 3 in the Wood Memorial he had an abscess which caused him to be unable to grab the bit. He lost the Whitney when he ran sick. He won Horse of the year at 2. First time. He won the triple crown, setting 2 track records and one world record in the Belmont. He destroyed Forego in the Kentucky Derby, Sham couldn't race anymore, defeated great older horses in the Marlboro while setting another world record beating Riva Ridge, Key to the Mint, Cougar II, Onion. He defeated Tentam on the grass, champion turf runner, won twice on the grass, once firm, once soft in Canada. If he would've raced at 4 there would've been world records set in every race he ran. Last thing I will say, he ran each quarter in the Kentucky Derby faster than the last. Amazing 🐴. They called him the horse that God built.

I think that secretariat was born with hidden pair of wings. At the end of his races he seem to keep running faster and faster like he was in another race, but he would stop when he heard the camera click so he could pose. There have been so many great horses racing, or at stud in all kinds of tracks. But I think secretariats speed and his stamina, his ability to run on dirt on grass, turf, on fast tracks on mud, in a swamp. He could run on anything and for any length of time. This Separated him from all the rest. And to me leave him at number one up until now which is 2023.

Greetings Jack, Secretariat was born in Caroline County Va, near Doswell Va, at The Meadow. My grandfather was there, and helped out. Unfortunately, we (our horse farm) didn’t get any breeding rights. :) They meant to say, perhaps, that Secretariat was conceived at Claiborne. When the movie came out, I couldn’t wait to see who would play my grandfather, who was a character. As is the case with Hollywood, some liberties were taken. Here’s a clip from Bill Nack, Secretariat biographer. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3uuiIusmJyrodE

Majestic Prince was truly one of the most magnificent looking animals. I remember reading the Daily Racing Form in early 1969, even before he won the Santa Anita Derby, and the article compared him to Man O' War. Sadly, owner McMahon overruled trainer Longden about the Belmont start, and Arts and Letters went on to be Horse of the Year; a very costly decision on all accounts. I love the fact that at 17:02 the presenter says that "our heroes did what they had to do" and that comparing them is futile. I agree. Justify's TC win was, to me, just as exciting as when I saw Secretariat and the others do it years ago. Each generation brings about the "now" horse amidst the change in the thoroughbred and the game.

@@eduardos1309 Ruffian was one of the best ever horses! She is on most of the top 10 race horses of all times lists and it’s well deserved! She either met or set records in 9 out of her 10 races she finished, either race or track or North America records, that is amazing! That is why she is thought to be in the top 10 race horses of all time! In her 10 races she was never called in anything but first place, she got the lead in about 3 strides out of the starting gate and never gave it up, all that with her jockey trying to slow her down cause all she wanted to do was run as fast as she could. She won the filly triple crown but she never raced in any of the 3 triple crown races the boys race in and those are the biggest race in the USA, The Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont those are the 3 races held in the highest regard here in the USA. Secretariat and Man O War are thought to be the 2 best ever race horses, some people say Secretariat and some say Man O War both were the most dominating horses the years they raced by a long shot having set world records. Secretariat still holds the 3 records for the triple crown races for 47 year know and his Belmont race record is a world record on a dirt tack and many people think it is a unbeatable beatable record! It’s not just that Secretariat set the records it’s the way he set the records that make many people believe he is the best ever, in the Kentucky Derby he started last and won it and he ran each quarter mile faster than the previous quarter mile, so as the race went on he kept running faster and faster and faster, your supposed to start to slow down the farther you go but he just got faster. Look up some of his races! Man O War ran in the 1920s so there’s no video of him but it’s reported that he once won a race by 100 lengths, that’s a long long ways!!! If you like the filly’s here’s 2 horses for you to look up... Zenyatta and her half sister Winx from Australia. Zenyatta is the only horse in North America to win her first 19 races and all of them very exciting! She is the only filly/mare to win the breeders cup classic that is a race that any age horse can race in and it gets pretty much the best horses for that year in the race! That has become a very big race in the USA almost as big as the triple crown races. Then Winx from Australia went on a 33 in a row win streak against all comers, that’s the second longest win streak in the world ever! It took 3 years to win them all and she retired last year with the win streak still intact. That is something the world my never see a horse do again! So that’s a few horses for you to look up so enjoy them, all amazing horses!!!

@@johnwalsh3215 Ruffian should not even be among the best, as she was the best, as she did not run the triple crown of the foals, she would surely win as Rachel Alessandra won the Preakness in 2009 and Swiss Skydiver now in 2020. I saw a video of Man O War, when he competed in a mach racing against the triple crowned SIR BARTON, the problem of that time is that in several races, he faced only two or three animals, in Belmot Stakes he ran against only 1 opponent. About Zenyatta, an excellent mare, who just did not end her undefeated campaign because the jockey Mike Smith, gave a bad direction, anyone knows that in a Breders Cup where the best animals run, nobody can give the advantage that Mike Smith gave that day. I'm still going to continue with my opinion, Ruffian is number 1, because he did things that no animal on the planet did, breaking a record at the age of 2, it's not just any horse that does
