Secretariat was one bad ass....🏇

Most dominant athlete of all time. No contest.

As someone from Ky., I literally tear up everytime I see this video posted.

One of my favorite calls ever…”he’s moving like a TREMENDOUS machine…”

@Ilegvm Greatest Ever. Ron Turcotte took the ride of a lifetime.

"Movinig like a tremendous machine" gets me everytime.

His autopsy revealed that Secretariat had a heart that was larger than all race horses. That, combined with his stride, which was longer than all of them, gave him the ability to win these races. This was breeding, back before it was manipulated. We will probably never see this again, with the ability to change genetics that we now have.

I’ve experienced many great sporting moments in my 70+ years, this is likely the best.

it should be noted the race is called by the greatest race caller of all time.

I was at the Belmont June 9, 1973 and still have my winning ticket and program. At that time he became the first triple crown winner in 25 years. Great performance.

Unbelievable…his record is still unbroken. #Secretariat 🏇

Big Red Machine does not refer to a baseball team in Cincinnati

@jjauthor The greatest Horse in history, not sure we will ever see this again.

He’a all alone! He’s running like an incredible machine!

Jockey never touched his whip. That was the horse doing everything. Secretariat still holds 1-1/2 mile track record by 2 seconds. No race horse that has ever lived could have beaten him that day.

Have you looked up his birth, his owners and trainers, his amazing lung capacity compared to other thoroughbreds and things his jockey has said? It's beautiful and amazing. There will never be another one with that kind of spirit and perfection.

This race was interesting because he didn’t hang back and then make his move from the back like he did in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. He just took this from the start and Sham tried to hang, but there was no chance.

I watch the reruns many times when I get discouraged. I have read about his spirit and his physical makeup. Interviews with his trainers and jockeys. He was unique and full of "you got this".

That's why he's the HORSE!

Sham a great horse in his own right was competing until at about the half mile Secretariat hit turbo boost

If it feels this Electric in a video… Can you imagine being there LIVE 🔥🔥

It would be like winning the Indy 500 by 2 laps, it’s absolutely insane.

Allegedly one of these wins he broke the record at the next furlong, continuing to run after the finish line.

The G.O.A.T.

Poor Sham, in almost any other year he may have won the 3C but he had to face a god.

Sham was such a FINE horse, super runner and, against any of the other horses, would've won easily. But NOT again Secretariat! Secretariat was in his element that Triple Crown season and became a legend.

Greatest athlete of all time hands down.

19 of the 20 horses at the Derby are descendants of the great Secretariat.

He was a gift from God!

I remember it! I was 10.

Two absolute truths: 1. Salvation through Jesus. 2. Secretariat’s time of 2:24 in the Belmont will never be broken.

The true GOAT

Secretariat had abnormal large heart. That was his advantage.

@NobodymrRobert Sure was !!

Among GOAT discussions, this is always the easiest. Upon autopsy, Secretariat's heart was found to be 3-4 times normal size.
