I was 25 years old when Secretariat won the Triple Crown. No other horse has left such an incredible legacy in all three races.

I was 27 when I watched Secretariat win the Triple Crown, and I still tear up when I watch him run that Belmont.

I had one of Secretariat’s great grand babies too:) he was an amazing racehorse! He was a first place winner multiple times. Heartbreakingly, he passed away last month from colic. But when I tried to find his races online, I found his lineage and just couldn’t believe it! I love your story!

When I was a teenager, I enjoyed riding my mother's Thoroughbred, a grand daughter of Man O' War! Now, I know that famous race horse stallions have a lot of get, but there is something special in owning and loving one!

Secretariat is my favorite horse and my whole life the best horse I've ever seen I love horses very much

I ride one of secretariats great great grandsons! He is a tall chestnut thoroughbred that jumps. His name is Dart

I just cried again this year after watching Secretariat run Belmont again! I was 27 when I watched him run in 73! To be able to have his great great grandson must be the best feeling ever! You are blessed! I still remember how Secretariat would start last..circle the field, and take over the race! What a sight to behold! ❤️

With all your love, appreciation and enthusiasm you display for Secretariat and exceptional horses in general, you deserved to have this one come your way.

Brings tears to my eyes for your story. Congratulations for him coming into your life. You are one lucky woman. He is where he should be.

I'm glad you got to have your dream fulfilled! I saw Secretariat in his KY run. He kind of still looked like a baby. By the Belmont he was a big grown up boy, and had filled out to a magnificent copper penny! Secretariat of all horses still makes my heart skip a beat.

As proud as you are to have Secretariat in the lineage of your horse, I hope you are aware that your horse traces back to Secretariat through his daughter, Terlingua. She was one of the most famous thoroughbred broodmares out there. On the track she was an outstanding stakes winner, and as mentioned a famous broodmare. She foaled the super majestic sire of sires, Storm Cat....who left a Huge stamp in the world of thoroughbreds. She also is the great great grand-dam of American Pharoah who won the Triple Crown in 2015. She was known as The Crown Princess and lived to be like 31 or 32 years old. I watched my first Derby on t.v. back in 1972, when Riva Ridge won. The next year, I cheered for Secretariat, because his jockey wore the same colors as Riva Ridge and they said that Riva Ridge and Secretariat were stable mates. Secretariat hooked me into loving horse racing...and I have been a fan since then. Myself, I always dreamed of having a descendant of Alydar.... as Alydar ended up being my all time favorite race horse. I doubt I'll ever get to see my dream come true, but it's good to see that you did and how emotional you are at the idea of having that connection to Secretariat, via your beautiful grey guy.

Oh, my Lord! Tears are streaming down my face. I am so thankful that God answered your prayers. How I would love to have met Secretariat. He was a true work of God! Most magnificent horse I have ever seen. Oh, so glad you were chosen to have Blue, he is gorgeous!

This is such a beautiful story. Not just about your Blue. It’s also a wonderful testimony of faith in God. I tried to tell my Mama and had to start over three times before I could tell the whole thing without breaking down crying. Lol. Such a beautiful, wonderful ending and beginning. Love from Louisiana.

Love her accent. Also what a beautiful horse Blue is.

Beautiful story. Blue has found a great home with lots of love and appreciation. Well deserved for a great great grandson of the greatest American racing horse in US history.

Youre lucky to have a horse like this ❤️

What a wonderful story. I put a tears in my eyes. I was fortunate enough to meet secretaries in person two years after he retired and I was able to touch the greatest resource of all time. you have a great great grandson that’s fantastic. God bless you

Beautiful story! Thank you for sharing. “God can afford anything!” said mom. Yes he can. Your mom was wise. That’s a great line. I’m going to remember that one.

This beauty also traces back to Kentucky Derby winners Tim Tam Swaps and Chateaugay on his dam’s side. His daddy Yankee Gentleman is American Pharoah’s broodmare sire. What a gem you own! ❤️

You are so lucky to have such a great great son of the legendary and beautiful secrectariat

What a GREAT story! Awesome! I watched Secretariat win the triple crown when I was 13.....and I cried too!

And what a prize you have!!

What a wonderful story. I am so happy that God answered your prayers.

The old gospel song telling that it is no secret what God can do is truly a wonderful song. He answered your prayer. You remained faithful in your belief. He provided you with the answer you were praying for. Blue is beautiful!

I owned a son of Secretariat - Secretariat Dancer who was rescued off a meat truck in Florida. He came to Colorado and lived with me until he died. He was a celebrity here for many years... and my trusted trail horse... so many stories to tell xoxo

Hi Ann, my story is similar. I have a great great great grandson of Secretariat. I saw all three races of Secretariat. I have equestrian training showing background. Hurricane Day is a big gorgeous bay 16.2 hands who is now 16 and I rescued him Februay 11, 2015 from inexperienced owners who did not know who he was. He was 7 years old and his final race was July 27, 2014. I have seen all his races after researching how to find them. I'm rejoicing with you sister!!!! Congrats and God Bless you and Blue every day. OTTBs are the best horses because they been there done that!!

I'm pert near 70 years old and if there's one thing I've learned in my short on this planet is that money can't make you happy. The bond between this horse and this woman is priceless. The story brought tears to my eyes. I hope both parties remain healthy and together for many years to come.

What a great testimony of God never forgetting us and the desire of our heart. Congrats.

My first horse was a granddaughter of Citation. She even looked like him. That beautiful, dream horse of a mare was the love of my life. I'm so happy that God made your dream come true. You're so right to give Him the credit!

Wonderful story. God bless you for sharing. We all need cheer and reminders of God's big heart for all of us.

He is a beauty, you did get your wish. I so admire and love Secretariat, the horse of two Centuries and more.

Not just Secretariat but Northern Dancer as well.

God never forgets. My son trains horses. Last yr he recused a 17 hand bay mare. She was in pitiful shape. He gets his soft heart from me. Long story short he took her to the veterinarian and they started bringing her back. He sent in her lip tattoo and she is a G,G,G,GRANDDAUGHTER of SECRETARIATs. She is ABSOLUTELY beautiful and she had twins thi spring and they both lived. 🙏✝️♥️🐎🐎🐎

My aunt also has one of secretariat great great grandson too!!!!

Secretariat sired nearly 500 folds and of those 500 folds more than 1000 offspring were also born and of those offspring thousands more. Secretariat died in 1986 at the age of 19. So 30+ years have passed and thousands of folds have been sired of Grandsons and grand-daughters of that magnificent horse. The bloodlines today are very very thin and aren't very significant in racing today. None of his original offspring ever matched his athletic abilities or even came close to his abilities. A great horse is a process of selective breeding such in Secretariats case...his Father was Bold Ruler and his Mother was SomethingRoyal. Both of these horses had a strong lineage and were of great breeding. Unfortunately, today's racehorses rarely compare to what Penny Chinnery achieved with Secretariat. I'm happy that you got your wish to have some part of the greatest Race Horse in history. He's a beautiful animal. He is one of the lucky ones who has survived past his 5th birthday as many of Secretariats remaining offspring of his offsprings, offspring are sold to slaughterhouses once people who purchased them for racing realize that they can't reproduce his success. It's a tragic ending for these animals that people buy simply because his name lies somewhere in the history of the bloodlines of a new fold. I know this story is 5 years old but I pray you still have that beautiful horse. He's magnificent...and even with his white coat you can see he dawns a lot of Secretariats strength.

Sarah, What a wonderful story of Gods love of us! He knows ecactly what we need at any given moment! I can remember Secretariats race as if it were yesterday! I and my daddy watched it together, our mouths agape. Daddy raised working and running quarter horses as a hobby and I do believe that was the last horserace we watched on television together. We raised a whole herd of horses that we were pretty proud of back in the 60's and 70's, until his death in 81. I miss him and those horses so! It is said in a cowboys life, he will only find his perfect horse once in a lifetime. My daddy found his, I found mine and you found yours! God bless you, girl after this grammys heart!

Blue's definetly looks alot like his grand grand Secretariat, esp., his expression in his eyes... I was 13yo when I started watching Secretariat race... clipping all the newspaper articles about him for my scrapebook... I still watch YT videos of Big Red... 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋

Great story and great looking horse. A couple years ago I was lucky to take care of one of his last daughters. She had the same marking on the face and 3 white socks. She was borne in March and Secretariat put down that following October. I kind of know how blessed you feel. Good for you!

That's my gunner!!! He is also a great i believe 3rd generation. his father is commendable who came from gone west who came from secretame which is secretariats daughter. He is the most gentle but proud horse I have ever met. he knows he is royalty and is treated as such

What a wonderful story and so happy for Ann that she bought this horse when she did. So happy for Gentleman Breck that he found such a loving, kind owner for the rest of his days. I will never forget seeing Secretariat win the Triple Crown races and especially what he did in the Belmont with his 31 length lead and 2:24 time. That feeling of being completely stunned by what had just happened and the joy that he had won. He moved like he could do it all day and like he was truly enjoying himself out on that Belmont track. It was amazing! I still love to watch the reruns that they play this time year as we begin the Triple Crown races.

Dream come true for your lady I'm happy for you from 🇸🇬 🐎💞🥰😊

Oh that is such a wonderful story and testimony to God and answered prayers ! I tear up just listening to stories seeing Secretariat run his races it’s so touching I’ve always felt a special feeling for Secretariat your Blue is a handsome guy ! Thanks for sharing

Ann what a wonderful video and what a great story! Blue is GORGEOUS and the love you two share is obvious. (I live in South Carolina and LOVE your accent!!)

This is just awesome.. I love her passions and how grateful she is .

That is soooo cool. I watched the t.v. coverage of the Triple Crown races in 1973...I Love to watch them all...especially The Belmont. I saw a grandson of Secretariat race in Fargo several years ago...he won by nine lengths...that is my brush with his amazing grand dad. All the best to you.

This is a great story. And you are right, God finds a way for us always. God bless you and your family and your horse.

What a lovely heart touching story that is so true, God never forgets,I have had show standard poodles and they remind me a lot of thoroughbreds and I'm not trying to insult anyone but when you have a beautiful specimen it is so outstanding to see it run in the show ring, God gave me my fourth standard poodle and he was a champion under a year of age just an amazing little man so refined so gorgeous his name was Ch.Ignatius Zachariah Starr TDI registered.

How beautiful. Big red and big white with the same wonderful genes. I miss secretariat so much.

That's incredible. You deserve that kind of horse. Best wishes

Such a great story! Congratulations to you! I know this horse will be well taken care of the rest of his days!

What an amazing story! I have just really gotten into Secretariat’s story! That’s so amazing to learn! Congratulations to you for your answered prayer. God is so good. Secretariat and his owner had such a special and unique bond, I anticipate you and Blue will, as well. Please keep us posted! (PS, I am also from SC)

I also owned a great great grandson of Secretariat…..and his mother was a granddaughter. Both were registered Appaloosa’s. Secretariat’s first foal was with a nurse mare named Leola. He was named First Secretary and was a chestnut Appy with a spotted blanket. My mare was colored almost exactly like Secretariat and was feisty while her son was the ultimate western pleasure horse. Both were ApHC champions.

He looks like Lady's Secret, the Super filly

Praise the Lord! What a story😇

Gorgeous!! What a nice place you have for your horses Wonderful story!!

Lovely story❣ It isn't Secretariat, but I had a grulla great grandson of the great QH foundation sire, King P-234. He was one helluva horse!

Love your story

One of my horses is a great great granddaughter of secretariat!

Wow you are so very LUCKY,and you can truly tell how much you LOVE AND APPRECIATE THIS BOY WHO IS TRULY RACING ROYALTY.💜💜💜🐎🐎🐎

God is good! What a great story!

Big Red's Grandson Is A Spirit Horse!!!! The Lord Works In Mysterious Ways!!!!!!

I think it is an awesome testimony of how Faithful our God is!!! It is very encouraging to me about never giving up hope, which really is exactly what Secretariat was all about! It is so awesome, God is still using his blood line for exactly the same purpose, encouraging to never give up on dreams! Thank you for sharing...

I am so happy for you. He’s a beautiful horse. God does answer our prayers if it’s His will. Evidently, it was His will.

I have a Northern Dancer or Storm Cat Granddaughter (I have to check her papers again) but she was never raced or bred, currently a retired polo pony living out her days with her "Boyfriend" a 30 year old APHA named Painted Music King (Rex).. my only two pure breds. (Rex is my pic) I always tend to like the mystery horses more, but I love them all.

Beautiful story

Thank you for your awesome story!

There was one fillie that beat Secretariats record, her record was 10 wins 0 losses, basically the best fillie in racing history and was Secretariats niece...Bold Ruler was Secretariats Sire and also Reviewers Sire who Sired a black filly named Ruffian, the Greatest Horse in racing history, Just a shame she died so young :( in a match race against Foolish Pleasure. She was the only horse ever to be buried at Belmont Park.

Thank you for sharing your story

love horse storys . god bless .

Awesome....I always wanted my own horse but never was able to acquire the proper place for one.....my dad always said, "if you don't have a place to keep one, it is better not to have one, because if you have to board it out somewhere, it becomes less of your horse and becomes more of someone else's." How true that is...one has to be with their horses everyday in order not only to bond with them, but also to ride and train them properly....my dad was right.....He loved horses and had his own personal horse when he was a teenager....one where only he was able to handle and ride it... no one else could. I am very happy you have found the horse for you....it is a God send, who knows what would have happened to Blue if you hadn't acquire him.....with you he can have a good life and home, with another, maybe not so good....HIGH 5

He is gorgeous!

What a find! How special is that!!!!!!!

has Blue Ever won a race? I rode many a Secretariat babies, I rode, broke racehorses for a good 20yrs.So happy to hear your story. Yes I was an exercise rider, Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, Del Mar, Ect.. What mare is he out of?

Amen and Amen Thank you for Sharing God is Faithful

This horse was sired by Yankee Gentleman, who in turn is also the grand-sire of American Pharoah

We have one of Secretariat's great grandsons too living here in Australia.

Great story. God is good!!

I have Secretariat's GG granddaughter who looks just like him 'Racers Be Be Cash' we call her BeBe... his off spring are amazing! You can see her on my channel if you want *:D

What a sweet story!!!!

I am not crying. My eyes are sweating.

Tears tears here

Wow. You're very lucky. He's a beauty.

What a great story !

That is pretty damn awesome.

Lucky you! Treasure that boy, he’s royalty!

very special dream come true..

Beautiful!!!! We Now have one of Secretariats grandson's as well!!! Prayer WORKS! His name is Wheaten One! My kids rode him for summer camp and then we were blessed when we was GIVEN him! We had NO clue WHO he was all we know was , like the lady in the video said, he was a magnificent horse!!!! He has three socks, a blazed face and is the exact same color of secretariat !!! His other grandfather is Alydar! Does anyone know if there's an official Community or descendants of these great horses

So beautiful so sweet great video I love, your.beautful. horse 😎😁😄😉😍😙😣

Never say never - what a wonderful story.

Thank you God the LORD Jesus Christ.

Very very nice.😊😊

My friend has a great-great grandson of Secretariat he's a thoroughbred and he's named hope I'm not really sure of the full story but his papers confirm that

a miracle!

Imagine that. You'd need a second opinion just to be sure: "Does this really say 'Secretariat'????"

I read a long time ago that both Secretariat and another three crown winner measured longer in torso - from back legs to front legs so it made the difference in distance over the long haul? Anyone hear or read that?

That is cool congratulations

How cool

The Lord works in mysterious ways..

Oh My Goodness I can only Dream!
