Having been there when Secretariat won the Belmont, I think they have some idea.

And on the 45th anniversary of Secretariat’s magnificent win.

In a span of 100 years, starting in 1919 through today, only 13 horses have managed to pull off this amazing feat. I would like to salute them.

1919 Sir Barton
1930 Gallant Fox
1935 Omaha
1937 War Admiral
1941 Whirlaway
1943 Count Fleet
1946 Assault
1948 Citation
1973 Secretariat
1977 SeattleSlew
1978 Affirmed
2015 American Pharoah
2018 Justify

At least put some high-quality spring water in his troth.

Smith is 52.

Baffert is only the second trainer to win two Triple Crowns.

The place holds over 130,000 and its usually packed on a day like this.

They tend to come in bunches, followed by droughts.

Secretariat is THE horse. I was at Belmont when he won the Triple Crown.

Secretariat would beat them all.

I’d love to find a really good, accurate horse racing simulation and run the 13 of them, each in his Triple Crown year, over 1 1/4 at Churchill, 1 3/16 at Pimlico, and 1 1/2 at Belmont. See who wins.

My money is on Big Red.

It’s like holding onto a ballplayer too long. Their value will never be higher than right now. Maximize the value.

Though I do think we’ll see him in the Breeders Cup.

It was wonderful to see it at a track (not Belmont) and feel the excitement of the crowd! Everyone went wild.

Is that because all racing horses have their birthdays the first of the year?

YES that was great. Great to be and American and praising God. Made lefties heads explode I’m sure. And Mike Smith was great too after the race~!!!!

Main thing is that means his foals born 2016, so this year they are 2yos.

Horse racing is so much better than the big popular team sports.

Yes, we have our warts (allowing sheikhs to run here, illegals on the backstretch, etc), but the athletes don’t kneel and they don’t gripe about not getting enough oats.

Plus they race all year, don’t quit for rough weather, and it’s quick and to the point, all for $5 to get in.
