Secretariat...his records for all three races still stand. One of the greatest athletes of the 20th century...he knew it, too!

I don't follow horse racing and I was just a kid when Secretariat ran. But I remember what it was like when he ran. It seemed EVERYONE was watching him in the Belmont.

Now 40+ years later, his great-great-great grandson is stepping up.

Lets see if the kid can make grandpa proud.

Also, Seattle Slew is his great-great grandfather.

I was just a kid when Secretariat won the triple crown. I watched all three races. Best race horse of all time hands down. It was a shame he died so young.
