WILL THESE RECORDS EVER BE BROKEN?! First Time Reacting to Secretariat - Triple Crown Races!

[@wilshade]

Sports Illustrated named Secretariat "Sportsman of the Year" in 1973. The only non-human accorded that honor.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

I still have the cover.... I framed it when it came out... I was 12 years old, I am 62 now.

[@js6729]

[@watchmanonthewall14]

I recollect that Secretariat was also named as one of the 100 best athletes in the 20th century.

[@erinhansen2110]

Secretariat's heart weighed 22lbs. The average thoroughbred's heart is 8.5lbs. The heart sized allowed Secretariat to convert oxygen into a massive amount of power... similar to a giant engine on your car. Secretariat was literally all heart. ❤

[@1dkappe]

Sham’s weighed 18lbs.

“He’s moving like a tremendous machine” is one of the all time iconic sports calls. Gives me chills every time I see it.

[@christopherking4932]

That sports call literally makes me cry every time I hear it.

[@GBeret83]

For the record, the distance of Secretariat's win in the Belmont Stakes was later offically made 31 lengths. Secretariat broke the track record in all 3 races, Kentucky Derby, Preakness, & Belmont Stakes. His time of 2:24:00 flat for the the mile-and-one-half (1-1/2M-12F) in the Belmont Stakes has to this day never been remotely approached by another horse anywhere in the world.

The great golfer Jack Nicklaus talks about crying his eyes out watching the Belmont race. He was always trying to attain perfection on the golf course. He watched perfection when he watched the 1973 Belmont and wept at the sight.

[@J24J]

If you haven’t seen a doc about Secretariat, do so to get the full picture. You won’t be sorry. Sham was a great, great horse who just had the misfortune of competing against the greatest horse who ever lived. Anything I see on Secretariat makes me cry. Beautiful perfection.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

The only thing that got in Sham's way was Big Red.... many forget, he went stride for stride with Red

[@michaellockhart554]

If not for Big Red, Sham would have won the Triple Crown that year

[@TechnicalBard]

I believe Sham still holds the second fastest time in the Kentucky Derby, ahead of every other winner. He just lost to Secretariat.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@TechnicalBard You are correct.

[@timothydesantis9107]

Poor Sham. His jockey had to slow him down I guess due to risk of injury.

[@9Ballr]

Secretariat ran each quarter mile in the Kentucky Derby faster than the previous one. No other horse in the history of the race has done that. His time of two twenty-four flat in the Belmont is not only the Belmont Stakes record, it is still the world record for a mile and a half on a dirt track, and of course he still holds the record time in the Derby and Preakness as well. He actually won the Belmont by 31 lengths.

[@mynewlifebegins]

No human or animal has ever loved so much as Secretariat loved to run. By the time he crossed the finish line in another record-setting time of 2:24, he was a full 31 lengths in front of the second-place finisher. Secretariat was the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown. No matter how often I see this, it always brings me to tears. ♥

[@margaretstutts4362]

He was a nice horse too. He wasn’t mean or antsy or flighty or skittish he just was calmly showing off in the last race. I heard the jockey let him go and just to see how fast he could go. It’s amazing. I watch him sometimes just to see him. He retired to stud and had a great life. No one will ever beat the times. The horses today are not as big and are more fragile than he was.

[@margaretstutts4362]

@@patcaruthers1654 that’s what I mean. He did not like to be behind any other horse. He was determined to get ahead. I noticed in the second race a horse came up behind him and he ran faster. American Pharoah was the same way. As long as he was ahead he was happy. Secretariat could put on speed like in have not seen again. 31 lengths. That is crazy. I think AP could have raced faster but why would he. He was ahead and that was enough for him. 7 lengths was his best. I think from counting it today. I count as he get ahead. It’s wild how fast Secretariat was. That’s never going to be broken.

[@martyluther4224]

Secretariat holds the stakes record for each of the Triple Crown races, the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5 ) the Preakness Stakes (1:53), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24). Because the Belmont is a half mile further than the first two races Shams owner thought he could push the pace so fast that Secretariat would burn out. The plan backfired because Sham burned out and came in last. The Movie is a great watch

That's what I came to say. It's the story of an odd colt that the smart money said would never amount to anything who went on to become one of the most renowned racehorses of all time. By the way, y'all are too young to remember this, but the Secretariat was the term used to refer to the combined leadership of the USSR. It will make sense when you watch the movie.

Thank you for this wonderful reaction. I grew up as a young girl watching all of his races on TV. As a very young adult at 23 I made 3 long trips to Kentucky to see him at Claiborne Farm after his retirement. My first moment meeting this magnificent horse I will always treasure and never forget. I took several beautiful photos of him, that I shared decades later with the daughter of his owner, Penny Chenery Tweedy. Her daughter,Kate Chenery is a wonderful wonan and we both shared that we still cry tears of joy every time we watch his Belmont race. His exercise rider Charlie Davis was a true gem. He loved to share stories of his experiences with Secretariat. The first time I met him, I was mesmerized. You could see all the emotions he had for this horse as he reminisced about the greatest horse ever. While answering one of my questions, he told everyone this: "He took care of me, not the other way around. Secretariat allowed me to be a part of his life. I was never his pilot, always his co-pilot. I was merely along for the ride." Because of Secretariat I have been a lifelong fan of horse racing, and the owner of several horses of my own. I have many wonderful friends from around the world thanks to this horse and racing. Thank you again for your wonderful reaction to this greatest athlete. 🎉💙🐎

Although I rode horses back in the sixties and seventies, I was never a Horse racing fan, until i met my first wife and her Dad was a big fan. It was during the time Of Secretariat, and after watching him win the triple Crown I could not believe a horse could run that fast! Every time I see these old tapes of him I almost cry even though I am 72 years old. Secretariat was the greatest athlete to ever live. My heart feels emotions that stir my soul to what can be and what was. He was an inspiration to a generation, and even many who never watched Horse racing before him. Thank you for this. BTW Sham and a couple other horses would have been considered among the greats if they had not had the misfortune to be racing in the Secretariat era.

Yes, Ron was a great jockey. People forget that in 1972, Ron rode Riva Ridge - a stablemate of Secretariat's - to victories in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont - a monumental achievement by itself. The next year he won all three Triple Crown races. Unfortunately, in 1978 Ron suffered a fall from a horse at Belmont that resulted in him becoming a paraplegic.

[@derwoodbowen5954]

The whole run was impressive, but Secratariat's run in the Belmont Stakes was just awesome. They could only get three or four other horses to even enter the race, knowing the best they were racing for was second.

[@circlepfarm3776]

The three races of the Triple Crown are all different lengths. Some horses are good at shorter races, some with longer distances. This is part of what makes the Triple Crown so hard to win.
