@carnivalwrestler Exactly. This is what sports is about, what gives my spine tingles and even brings tears to my eyes. There's no way that horse should have been able to do that, and he not only did it but seemingly did it with ease, and as a virtual warmup to the last 50%+ of the race. Unreal.

I know exactly how you feel. Have you read Nack's bio and 8 pg intense description of Belmont? The jockey behind Pincay and Sham said he cld see Sham's legs getting rubbery at 3/4 mi mark when Sec pulled away. He was starting to disintegrate. I was sick when I read that, but thankful that Pincay sensed it and stopped pushing him. He said Sham wasn't same horse as in Derby and Preakness. Panco shldn't have pushed him. Mr. Sommers cried and then went and got drunk.

I always said his times in the derby & preakness would have been 2/5 or more faster if he had the opportunity to hug the rail. Most of his races he was always going around horses wide but still broke records. He was more than unbelievable!

nice vid plz check out my vids. awsome horse hes my 2nd fave famous race horse right after seabiscuit i love him.

on the vid here @ 1:00 sec is dead last @ 1:07 abreast 2 others all at the rear then @1:27 sec takes the lead last to 1st in 20 secs to this day i cant help but pull for sham in all three tc races but the outcomes are always the same sec broke sham in the belmont any other year sham is a legend

The move on the stretch? What about coming from dead last to the front on the OUTSIDE OF A TURN??? That's the most insane thing I've ever seen in any kind of racing, be it horse, car, human, or even sailing. Blistering speed and composure. Nothing like it. It's more insane (IMO) than Secretariat's 31-length lead when he won the triple crown at Belmont. Wonder what time he would have turned in had he hugged the rail towards the front of the pack out of the chute like he did at Belmont???

Who needed the timer anyhow? Did we ever doubt the Big Red? He was the King of Racehorses! Let's give credit to the wonderful Sham who would've been the year's Triple Crown winner if it weren't for Secretariat.

Thanks for posting this..Secretariat..the time for this race.."forever in doubt" because of the electronic timer...did Secretariat really ever need it? No horse could match him...throw the timer out!! Also let's give credit to the wonderful Sham who would of been the horse to win, but had to race with Big Red.

Simply awesome Memory. Never realized what it would mean to me when my parents took me to Claiborne farms and I got to see and pet Big Red...beautiful show off and friendly. I would't have got near Riva Ridge or Bold Forbes at the time. Great Vid..thanks Inspirational Horse - no doubt.

great video, thanks

he's my horses garate grandfather!!!

On the backstretch he runs past them like the other horses are standing still...and Secretariat was on the outside. What a great horse =)

What a horse. O_o

Well said. I couldn't possibly agree with you more. Thanks for the comments.

to move that move and that speed on the back stretch was super natural. Being last and making that move and not tiring shows that this horse was super natural, that move alone will never be matched. What a horse and what a creature of God.

wow,the horse of the century still leaves me breathless watching the reruns of his tripple crown!

I agree, Big Red's move here was one of the best ever, maybe THE best. Amazing really, considering he never tired.

I'm ignorant of horses and horse racing but watching this...seeing Red make his move was and is just breathtaking for me...

He sure did. There's nothing quite like it. I can't take any credit for the fine editing work on this clip. It is just as I found it. Glad you liked it. Take care.

He whipped through that field like the proverbial hot knife through butter... on a sharp Pimlico turn, no less. Smooth editing, btw!

Yes, Big Red enraptures the spirit and captures hearts like no other. Happy you liked it. Have a great day.

Hey CF, Divine is an absolutely correct term for this..This video really lets you see him turning the on button to the max...thanks for this. I just love this horse...always have...

Divine...that's a perfect word to describe Secretariat. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care.

This was great because you can really see in this video how incredible that move was. What an amazing horse. His awesome talent is undeniable - when else have you seen anything like this? Together with the Belmont - this horse was just divine.

Yes, being left-footed was another trait that made it seem so effortless for him in the turns. His rush to the lead here was breath-taking. He really was the mostest hoss, in my humble opinion. Take care.
