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.
