No doubt Sham would have won the Derby and Preakness but I don't think he would have won the Belmont . The second and third place horses behind Secretariat were to strong .

Does anyone know the name of the music played at 3:04?

Sham was born to be Secretariat's gallant competitor. Are they soul-brothers? Sham's name is interesting, too. Is it short for Shamrock? Who punched Sham that he would lose two teeth? Secretariat and Sham gave each other swift competition but in a gentle way, it seems. Both had tremendous speed and huge hearts. I bet both are running joyfully and playfully together now...

The announcer said "We are ready to go with this tremendous Belmont Stakes". Very little did he know how right he was.

Yours is the BEST video about the phenomena of Secretariat winning the Triple Crown. God decided to incarnate in a beautiful horse, and we all felt it.

I like the way Ron pulled the flowers up higher around Reds neck,like he was making sure the kings cloak was on properly!!

I do think Creator and Pegasus teamed up to create the perfect Thoroughbred in Secretariat.💖 Forever. That said, Asfan al Khaladeah, an Arabian who just won his 17th of 17 races (in the King Abdulaziz Cup for Arabians, on Saudi Cup day in March, 2024) was pretty darned impressive. They're more "hot-blooded," and have to ridden a bit differently, no pony escorts... don't even start racing until 3 yo... but later, can race, and do stud duties concurrently; jockeys warm them up with their legs out of the irons, and their breathing seems to be different (only 6 vertebrae in the neck might have an effect), and when the jockey gave the cue, I thought Asfan was literally going to leave the ground, and start flying upward, the way he surged forward!

GOD"S MAGIC !!!

I was 13 and in love with all horses, but especially Secretariat. I watched all three races on TV, mesmerized by that beautiful being cruising along those racetracks with such strength and grace. I visited the Derby museum in Louisville two years later and was soooooo excited to see his silks, and colors hanging from the rafters. How fortunate I feel to be alive during world history when this other-worldly stallion Secretariat lived and ran.

"A moment of eternity" is a perfect description. I remember being on my feet screaming as he started pulling away. But when they came around the last turn and Ronnie turned his head to look back at the field so far away, it really did feel like time stood still for a moment. I think I just wished it would, because I knew this was one for the ages.

No one gives Penny credit for realizing which combination of horses could produce such perfection . Brilliant

Yes he was a tremendous machine ❤

Sham is indeed a special horse!...It was just tough with Big Red....

He is the greatest horse ever seen race! In a league all by himself no one even close at a mile and a half. Fastest Mile in half in horse racing history all over world on grass or dirt. And fasted by over 2 seconds not even close!

That was a generational athlete what an amazing horse

It’s 2024 and I still watch these races …. I love him forever ❤️❤️❤️

For a brief moment you get to see Eddie smile. That says it all. It’s always the horse and the jockey. Secretariat was a rocket but he was who he was because of Eddie. Right now Eddie is probably giving him a rubdown.

My gransha loved red rum Was his horse And told me about this race He is literally gliding across the ground Its unbelievable

What a amazing horse he just flew through those fences, I nearly my 1st birthday when he won his first Grand National.

Legends never die, he was a magnificent horse.

I lived across the street from Belmont Park and was 16, we snuck under the fence and witnessed this race, unfortunately at the time I don’t think we could appreciate what we had witnessed, but we do now! It was the greatest sporting accomplishment ever!

1973 i was 13 when I and my horse racing crazy late grandfather was looking at that great race on our portable B&W TV.This bring back memories long live Secretariat

Apart from being a legend he was an absolute stamp of a thoroughbred and had a beautiful head and face xx

"Thou shall fly without wings and conquer without any sword, oh horse."....Big Red certainly flew that day and conquered us all. RIP Mighty Secretariat

This was so incredible "Red "you could say he beat every horse in history to that time set records in all three races to this day and no horse will ever beat the belmont time 7:06

Wow❤🎉

best line ever , tnks from brazil

a big boy loser kkkkkkkkkkk

shan = nothing lol

Secreteriat's 38 length win in the 1973 Belmont Stakes STILL is the record for widest winning margin in ANY horse race!

Amo a este caballo ninguno lo ha superado aún

El mejor caballo del mundo

When he ran a race, he was like poetry in motion

Em um vôo Brasil EUA assistir o filme depois deste dia este cavalo para mim tounou o cavalo de todos os tempos.

Mum would put a few bob on red rum in all the national races and as a 7 year old child i treasure tge memories of watching mum screaming in delight when he crossed the line ..the horse that saved the National and brought joy to millions of housewives who had 20p bets on him or where lucky enough to get rummy in the sweep...

Maybe the greatest athlete ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful horse... tired of the sham around him!

A CHAMPION ALWAYS HAVE SHADOW to RUN they are COEXISTENCE time differential SPLIT SECOND and are BOTH CHAMPION they SHARE the LIMELIGHT

One of the greatest moments in sports history, was Sham and Secretariat. This is one for all time. In terms of film history, this is one of the all time great moments. Both were heartbreakingly epic. The moment Sham broke, and Secretariat went on to something otherworldly… was chilling. Both of these heroes, live in Heaven forever.

Thanks Great video!

He just decided to run.... How funny....

I, as well, am a super Secretariat fan! Still, I love Sham! I think all would agree that he helped make Secretariat great! Why? Because Sham was great! Some say that when Secretariat beat him in the Kentucky Derby that he broke Sham. I see no evidence of that! He ran as good at the Preakness as at the Derby! When he challenged Secretariat in the Belmont... when he went a neck in front of Secretariat (and Secretariat was best when challenged)... that was what I believe caused Secretariat to rises up and do what was thought to be impossible! Sham experienced a cracked leg bone, I believe that alone slowed him down. There is no doubt that he would not have beat Secretariat that day, but there would have been no 31 lengths, I don't think. I suspect it was supposed to work out that way. The jockey made a great decision in sparing the horse. I will always believe it was Sham's leg that was broken, but never his will! What a great horse!!! But I do believe it was he who made the greatest even greater!

Ronnie stands up on the saddle for almost half of the stretch.. there could be 60 lengths or more.the speaker said:never in my dreams ...❤

It's now been half a century. Of the three most prestigious (arguably) horse races, he continues to hold the record FOR ALL THREE. 50 years and no horse has beaten his time in any of the triple crown races. He didn't *just* win the triple crown, he didn't *just* set the record in each race, he won each race in a time that has not been equaled ever. The last of the three races was inaugurated in 1875. 1875. We are close to 150 years of triple crown racing and ONE horse holds all three records??!?!?? Oh, and by the by, the Belmont record of 2:24 for 1-1/2 miles is good for any track, anywhere. Not just the race record, the distance record. For 50 years.

Never really noticed before how much thicker and more muscular Secretariat's hindquarters are than the other horses. It's really obvious now that I actually see.

Praise God for Secretariat, that beautiful horse he built..❤❤

There is babies being slaughtered through abortion on the so called allopathic corporate western medicine and YOU ALL are enjoying your ANIMALISTIC entertainment p

Love this video, especially the beginning from the crowds view to seeing Eddie Charlie and Ronnie and magnificent red

I hated Sham's rider. The way he whipped Sham during the races was not an encouragement tap rather an abuse batch the way he beats Sham especially during the Preakness!. Sham , I love you they should've picked a different jockey for you.
