Sigh. We’ll never see a miracle like Secretariat again. I still can’t believe I saw what he did the first time!

Me too.........double sigh.......;(

there is so much about Secretariats Belmont race that defies belief...while the 31 length margin is jaw dropping, the time fractions are astonishing....1:09 4/5 for 6 furlongs, in a 12 furlong race!...1:59 flat at a mile and 1/4, beating his Derby time...2:24 flat for the final time, a World Record...all without Turcotte never raising the whip once. 90 degree day, and he didn’t even break a sweat. There were still some doubters prior to the race..its almost like the horse said “ ok..you wanna see what i can do?...WATCH THIS!”
