Tom Rinaldi does such a great job with these features!

That Belmont Stakes is still the damndest thing I've ever seen on a racetrack.

Only one person will ever know what it feels like to fly on the back of Secretariat, Ron Turcotte. What a privilege, what greatness.

Ron Turcotte, you are admired and respected by many and many generations to come. Secretariat couldn't have had a better rider.Thank you for letting him run freely!

Secretariat had the right everything. Parents, owner, jockey, trainer, every person involved. I think its one of the greatest sports stories in history, and I always get emotional when I watch anything about Secretariat and his team.

All three records- KENTUCKY, PREAKNESS and BELMONT- still stand today!

I really can’t get enough of Secretariat & Ron Turcotte 🐎🩵

Don’t worry Ronnie we’re getting emotional too. Every time I see a picture of him or watch his races constantly I get tears in my eyes. When the announcer says, “He is moving like a tremendous machine!” and the rest of the call. “He is going to be the Triple Crown winner!!”

I hope Ron and Secretariat get to meet again on the other side. They were made for each other.

Citation was amazing. Man O' War was incredible, Spectacular Bid was other worldly. SECRETARIAT is just simply the greatest. All 3 Triple crown records stand over 50 years later!! No reason to debate. Thanks for posting this great video!

Yes, Secretariat was one of God’s finest earthly gifts to us, for sure. And He especially blessed Penny, , Ron, Lucian, Eddie and Charlie for allowing them to be a part of his life. What beautiful times those were.

My aunt came from the same home town as Ron Turcotte, just a fun family fact for us. I watched all 3 races back in '73. My father was up out of his chair yelling "Look at him go, look at him go". Well done, Ron.

I saw Secretariat at Arlington and it was love at first for me too.

The horse that God built rest in peace Big Red

He is perfect. What else can you say?

The greatest horse God ever built! AMEN!

I got his autograph on a photo of secretariat, screamed like I got it from a music star

The best performance in sports history, I was only 10 but I was at awe.

Big Red at the '73 Belmont Stakes was nothing short of a miracle.

I have a beautiful framed picture of Secretariat in my living room & i cry just looking at it!!!

I grew up near Mr Turcotte's home I am glad to see him and his home town get the recognition that he deserves A lot of younger people in the area have no idea what he accomplished He did Drummond New Brunswick and Canada proud

Secretariat was extraordinary! I fell in love with him in 1973 and over the years my admiration for him has only grown. He was magnificent, and there will never be another horse like him. He is and always will remain, my favorite athlete.

If I could speak to Ron Turcotte I'd say this. You had a bad break with your injury, but looking back you have to be thankful for because God gave you one of his greatest gifts he ever bestowed on anybody. The privilege to ride the greatest athlete he ever created. I saw that race live while watching it on television and still cry tears of joy to this day. Chic Anderson sad so many great quotes that day and I'll use one of them. "an amazing, unbelievable performance one we might never see again in our lifetime." Man was he right.

We loved him too Ron, God bless you.

Its hard to say who the best baseball player is or the best boxer or best basketball player is but there is only one best race horse and everybody knows big red is all alone

You are so right Ron. Big Red was a leader of all the champions! No one is or ever will be in his league! Sham was the closet on short races but even the great Sham couldn't stay with Secretariat on the longer races. Belmont! God bless!

It seems there exists better quality footage of Secretariat's triple crown races than is currently available on KZfaq. Fox Sports, is there any chance you could make this higher quality footage publicly available?

secretariat and family is one of the most amazing stories in culture, ever

Ron, it's the same for me. Aside from my family, Secretariat is my first and greatest love. Always. Thank you for everything, Ron. I love you too. Always. ❤

Praise God for creating such a fine specimen of a horse like no other; Secretariat!!!❤ 🐎

God Bless you Ron Turcotte.

Millions loved BIG RED

Secretariat was an amazing horse and Ron was the perfect match for him. Such an incredible story with those two.

Sir I watch your TC races once a month. Tremendous inspiration. A great rider and a great horse meant to be. I also have the signed photo of your look back at belmont. Signed by you and Ms Chenery. A prized possession. Ms Chenery died a couple years after I purchased it. Thank you for everything you have done.

Ron Turcotte had the ultimate high in life because of Secretariat and had the ultimate low because of his terrible accident I believe Ron Turcotte wouldn't change a thing if had to choose the life he had or just be another person like myself suffered very little and accomplished even less.

Athletic perfection is the ultimate teamwork.

Lot Canadian angles to the Secretariat story. Jockey Ronnie Turcotte was a Canadian. So was trainer Lucien Laurin. And the previous track record for Kentucky Derby was held by Northern Dancer, a Canadian thoroughbred.

Best horse that Ron Turcotte ever rode.

Ronnie. You are strength personified. BIG Red listened to you. And visa versa❤

He should be a Hall of Famer.

Tremendous machine

One of the greatest movies EVER😮

2:58 to 3:08 Goosebumps.........

he actually lives in the same town as me

The Perfect Three-Way Partnership for and Behind THE PERFECT RACE HORSE, ... Ron Turcotte, Lucien Laurin and Penny Chenery-Tweedie allowed and encouraged the Legendary "SECRETARIAT", to Achieve his Full and True Potential.,.!!

Thank you Ron for being Secretariat's jockey.

Oddly, Secretarial did not like roses at all.

Eddie Sweat....Penny....Lucien....all dead and gone now. Ronnie is our only living connection to the greatest horse who ever lived.

❤Oh my goodness 😍 Love ❤ Love ❤ Love, Ron the Jockey I!!! Wat A Once in A Lifetime, Such A Very Lucky Experience!!! On Retrospect the Experience Would Be , " Humbling ", to Say the Least.❤ Thank You Ron, for SHARING, "SECRETARIAT ".❤

12F Test of Champions Distance in "2:24" Flat!! Winning by "31" Lengths...Just Incredible!!....Closest to 2:24 is Easy Goer Who Won in 2:26 Flat

I have an autographed photo of the Belmont finish in my bedroom. That’s what Secretariat and Ronnie mean to me.

I have a poster of Secretarial winning the Derby with a personalized message from Ronnie. I have a feeling the pair will run together once again on the other side

I would love to meet Ron I was a baby when i had the pleasure to have a pic with big red right before he passed and was an honor to have some thing so great as a memory before it said goodbye.

You completely failed to mention Riva Ridge stablemate of secretariat who Turcotte rode in 1972 to Derby and Belmont victories. Only sloppy track at Preakness denied riva ridge triple crown. But report covers up prior history with Lucien Lauren and meadow stable with Riva Ridge.

There may be only one horse to compare, Pharlap of Australia

Secretariat is my favorite racehorse and i know all about him

Knowing Christ insures Ron will ride Secretariat once again in the presence of our Lord in our new, perfect heavenly home.

At his last race Mr. Turcotte was suspended , can anyone tell me why ?

Wow You guys at Fox completely botched the coverage of the Belmont Stakes. Sad. 😢

The GOAT man what a magnificent horse he was Thank You Ron for the glorious memories
