I just have one conclusion legends are born not made he was born to be great

He was so beautiful and is still King

How lucky we all were to be able to watch his wins. The first televised triple crown winner. He is a star and always will be.

His eyes were so intelligent and he could almost talk through them. Sham was a magnificent horse but Big Red made the poor thing look so ordinary. God gave us Perfection in a horse.

He was the King!

What a beautiful horse

The sheer beauty of this horse is phenomenal!!

he still holds the record for the three TRIPLE CROWN races, as of Feb, 2022.

The most magnificent horse that has ever lived!

What an amazing gorgeous horse...there will never be another...R.I.P. SECRETARIAT!!!

What a beautiful job you did for my beloved secretariat, hi will never be forgotten

My favourite horse all time,and always..

Like you said never never never be forgotten, he still is the king, my beautiful big boy secretariat, love you forever

I marvel at his beauty every time I see him.

What an Magnificent athlete 🌹❤️‍🩹

The most beautiful and greatest horse that ever lived! Secretariat!

Secretariat is as near perfection as any athlete will ever be. Thanks for the tribute.

I was 22 and watching the Belmont on TV that day. Everything that could possibly be said about that wonder horse has already been said. All I'll say is that every year at Derby time I play all 3 races on KZfaq listening to Chic's call. And just remember being 22 and watching the greatest horse I've ever seen or ever will see.

The greatest horse that ever lived there never be another Secretariat

When the Lord returns, he will be mounted on His glorious creation, Secretariat.

That horse was amazing! I don't care what people say he is and will always be the best! May he r.i.p! GOD BLESS HIM!

You forgot one very important part: He was still ACCELERATING when he finished the race

Thank you for the history, it makes Secretariat's awesome life even more of a victory! He will live on in our hearts as number one forever!

Yes he was!!! There will never be another.

Thanks for posting!!! Secretariat was the mythical creature God put on this earth for all of us to witness with our own eyes...we'll never see this supernatural greatness or miracle again...Thank you for sharing:-)

STILL get choked up watching him. He had the kindest most intelligent eyes (among all his other attributes).

Never before ,never since, never again a horse like Secretariat !

His heart was twice as large as a normal thoroughbred. They found this out during his autopsy. Without wings, he flew

Awesome!! One of my favorite shots of Secretariat though is actually when he was in the home stretch of his last race, Woodbine in Canada, it was cold and steam was literally bursting from his nostrils like a steam locomotive!

He will always be the King of horse racing 🥰🥰🥰🙏

And THEN the BIG beautiful RED HORSE 🐴 came. Named SECRETARIAT won everyone's heart. Happy Anniversary BIG RED. ❤❤🎉🎉

Secretariat one of the best i am prod to say i now am the owner of one of his grand kids but some days it makes me cry that he is dead

I’m already crying.... I’m in public & crying! I can’t help it. Watching him brings me to my knees every time. Plus your music was great, really put the cherry on top of my crying spectacle. By the end of the video I was both crying & smiling .., Pretty sure people are about to call the psych ward on me.... Lol! So, thank you & the greatest race horse that's ever lived.. Love you Red!

I love that horse. I also have a soft spot for Sham, another great horse.

Congratulations Secretariat, and happy 50th anniversary of your Triple Crown today!

Secretariat, the total package, personified.

He was the Elvis of race horses long live the kings

As a lover of horses, from a young age, I knew about Nasrullah, of the Nearco tribe. I knew about the coin toss. About the three foals. I saw all of Secretariat's races, on television, and agreed with Clem Florio, when he said, "That's my Derby horse for next year!" when he won his second race under Paul Felicia no by six. I believe that he broke the record at Pimlico, also. There are so many greats. Remember Man O' War had a 28 ft. stride, 3 feet more than Secretariat. All had their strengths and deserve mention. The year of Secretariat's Triple Crown win, was my high school graduation. I told everyone he would win, not only the Derby, but The Triple Crown. It was a knowing I couldn't explain, exactly, but it was strong. My father asked me who I thought would win the Derby and when I said Secretariat; he said, "But, he lost the Wood", I told him something was wrong, which came out later. I surely did not change my mind. Watching, I could tell he didn't grab the bit and I knew there was a reason, just not what it was. He does hold a special place in my heart and memories.

Puede surgir otro super horse, pero, el carisma de este tipo Secretariat, era maravilloso... poder y carisma, elegancia, inteligencia... Secretariat, el Rey...

At about 3:57, what an amazing photo. It looked like Secretariat made a terrifying leap forward.

I was at the Preakness in 73 . He was like a locomotive coming down the stretch. 😮

Secretariat The "Pegasus" of our human world. A Horse created by God himself.

No solo esta llendo mas rapido se estaba riendo tambien porque sabe que es y sera una leyenda mi hermoso secretariat

At 69, I never had the pleasure of seeing this beautiful horse in person, but I was lucky enough to see him in these races. There will never be another like him....

The greatest horse that ever lived. We will miss you forever and a day

Absolutely incredible!

What a beautiful tribute to this gorgeous, tremendous machine. There is only one word to say when it comes to horse racing. Secretariat.

Simply the best!

I always cry when I watch a documentary on the great Secretariet and have remind myself that he he no longer with us! It's like he was all our family's pet!

A stocking for each crown oh God I saw secretariat on television that spring and summer I remember when!

Secretariat ( Big Red) took our breath away 1973..The 100 greatest athletes of 20 th century, Big Red was the only non human on that list...

Thank you for this great presentation about Secretariat ! He was truly the best. Maybe one day God will send us another Secretariat if we are very good and take good care of all our racehorses when they retire.

Athlete of the century.

In 1973 the year of his triple crown run, Secretariat captivated the nation by his performances on the track. It was also the year of Watergate, the pentagon papers, and Big Red was the only pure HONEST entity we had as a nation, rite at that moment. He ran because he loved to run. And on race day and he knew when the cameras were rolling it seems. I will say rite now that no horse could stay with Big Red. If you look at his Derby performance, he ran each furlong faster than the previous, and his record Derby track time still stands, and if any other horse can match that, then I would put him in a class with Secretariat. But that's never been done, and so in my book he is absolutely the greatest horse that ever ran a track. When he passed in 1989 they did an autopsy and found his heart was 2 1/2 times normal size. So he was able to crack up the oxygen content in his blood quicker than the others and it was that amazing heart of his, that made him a Triple Crown Winner.

Secretariat was truly the greatest king love you boy Big Red🐴🐎✋

Always a Legend!!

The greatest athlete that has ever lived.

Absolutely wonderful video of the greatest horse ever! Love the audio! Thanks for sharing!

GO SECRETARIAT UR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

He will likely never be unseated. What a fantastic horse! Thaks for the vid. Loved it!

Certainly by the 2nd turn, Secretariat was racing the clock and it was a battle among the rest for second place.

While Big Red was certainly super cool and utterly GORGEOUS, the king of American racehorses is the legendary Seattle Slew IMO. Thank you for the beautiful video :)

Posting appreciated. Every now and then, I read remarks denigrating Secretariat fans as "losers worshiping a dead horse." How sad that they cannot see that what LIVES is the SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE which this Superhorse, Super Athlete demonstrated and the JOY he brought to so many. Best Wishes to all.

Beauty,Brain's and Speed.There will never be another SECRETARIAT.💙 😢

That Time cover seems to capture his intellect in his eyes.

No horse will ever take him down His provided this horse He truly was AND STILL IS the King of Horses

For years people have been trying to make another horse like Secretariat. They may be able to create a horse with a BIG Chest, Big Quarters, BIG Neck BIG Thigs but they will never reproduce the BIG heart.

Belmont he was on the inside rail he did not have to run around all those horses and cover more ground and a 28 Lanks he was still charging and when he crossed the finish line he was still charging will never know the potential of this horse he was magnificent

I get a lump in my throat whenever I get to see him run. Just let him run.

if they wanted to see perfection, it happened at the Belmont

The music beginning at 3:05 showing video of Secretariat gliding around the clubhouse turn in the Preakness would be priceless!

Great video!! Brilliant choice of music.

MAGNIFICENCE itself.

Love the spirit stallion of the cimarron music in the background. 😭

Greatest racehorse 🐎 ever and maybe one of the greatest athletes ever! I still tear up every time I see The Belmont.

Big Red is an Icon forever

The Greatest horse to race on a track , just amazing his races , The 1973 Belmont stakes to run 1.09 in the first 3/4 of a mile and than to run another 3/4 of a mile in a blazing 2.24 for the 1 1/2 is next to unworldly !! Miss you Secretariat !

So, if he was almost one sixteenth of a mile ahead that put him about 300-300 feet ahead of horse #2. That's unbelieveable.

In the heirachy of Royalty, there are Princes and Princesses, there are Kings and Queens, but the pinnacle of Royalty is the title of Emperor. Surely the legendary and Immortal SECRETARIAT, whose records have never been equalled let alone beaten, so far..deserves to be considered as the "Emperor of The Equine World "...?

Yeah the crazy thing about Secretariat was that he could run without other horses pushing him in the Belmont he just kept running faster and faster and nobody was pushing him there were no other horses even close to him God was pushing him

This is by far, The most AMAZING horse video I have ever seen that involved Secretariat. The Music just fits this amazing horse.

I lived during the time of Secretariat.

Very same year I came out of high school, will never forget the best horse ever. 34 lengths , sounds easy but impossible to break. He still alive in our hearts.

I wonder just who is the greatest of all time, overall it’s just between 4 wonderful race horses never to be forgotten, and I’m talking about flat racing: Man’o’war, Secretariat, Frankel, Dancing brave, the times, the speed, the sheer power would have to go to the fantastic unbeatable FRANKEL, as a travelled race goer for a number of years, I thought I’d seen it all with the brilliant SECRETARIAT, but then along came the MAGNIFICENT GIANT FRANKEL, I witnessed something at the headquarters of flat racing Newmarket I will NEVER EVER FORGET, Frankel in the 2000, Guineas against a very strong field of group 1 winners was 15,lengths clear of the field at half way and cantered home, I thought this can’t be happening it did, he repeated the feat at Royal Ascot in the Queen Ann, by 11 lengths, and remained unbeaten in 14 races of pure class,

BRAVO MAGNIFICO GREAT HORSE OF ALL TIME SECRETARIAT

Secretariat wasn't just the King of Horses. He was superior to every horse & man that has ever lived. His perfection has never been matched. He was superior to all of us..physically, genetically, confidence, power, temperment and intelligence that was superior to his species. Secretariat is the ONLY miracle of nature. Man has never, and will never match this perfect being that God gave us. Man is so vain. The supernatural being was a horse..so perfect..he's irreplaceable. Sadly..never again.

The greatest athlete in the history of history. All under a hand ride. And he was the handsomest too by 31 lengths.

Great little documentary of my forever favorite horse, Secretariat!!!

Thanks for answering the question before I got a chance to ask!! Thanks so much for posting this, I'm going to subscribe. Ali lied when he said he was the greatest, he wasn't-Secretariat was. The first time I watched this, it was without the audio, then someone sent me a message that the audio was back. The audio makes the video great.

Great tribute, thanks so much! :)

Big Red ❤

BRAVO, BRAVO!!

Secretariat and a horse called SeaBiscuit were descendants of Man 'O War. In Secretariat it was obvious from his size and colouring, not so with SeaBiscuit who was small and ungainly, appearances aren't everything and both Secretariat and SeaBiscuit inherited the spirit, heart, stamina and temperament of Man O War. I don't study horses I don't know about horses but sometimes a resemblance whilst not physically visible shines like a star when they move. Man O War parents were Fair Play and Mahubah and whatever 'gift' they gave him must still be in the family.

Red had it all and then some. His winning times are still unbroken. I can't help but wish Mr. Chenery had lived a bit longer and could have still comprehended that at the end of his career he and his wife had finally been Blesses with not only an exceptional contender, Riva Ridge, but one of the Greatest Racehorses the World has Ever Seen.

En lo que a mí concierne, bien dicho: el rey de los caballos!!! Secretaríat

If you look all the triple crown winners are chestnut,Bay,brown,and dark brown with the majority being chestnut The Chestnuts are: Sir Barton,Omaha,Whirlaway,Assault,Secretariat,Affirmed,and Justify The Bays are: Gallant Fox,Citation,and American Pharaoh The Browns are:Count Fleet,Seattle Slew(he was also described as Dark Bay) and War Admiral who was described as dark brown

There was another wonder horse, Phar lap 18 hands high, also had a heart over twice the size of a normal horse. Was winning everything.

I think that photo at 3:55 is the best picture of Secretariat I've ever seen.

Its was said that out in the pasture,,the other horses waited for secretariat to eat first,,they knew who was boss

Very nice video, thank you!
