God took this one beautiful horse and made him the most perfect he feared nothing he loved people... In a way he United a nation.. Big Red who greeted he's fan's showed no fear love you Secretariat ♥️
Have I ever seen more perfection on anything then I see in secretariat? No God gave us only one perfect horse foaled on March 30, 1970 and he became our wonder. As close as one could get to a masterpiece.
When you see Secretariat come strutting out into the track the way he carried himself he knew he was something special! As if he was saying… get a load of me, ain’t I something!
Respectfully Mr. Ryan, not "Just" the fastest times ever, for the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness and The Belmont, but did so, so convincingly. "SECRETARIAT'S", Record Breaking times in each race, have Not even been equalled, let alone beaten in 50 years..!! A truly astounding feat, from The Unique Legend, best summed up in a single word...simply as "SECRETARIAT"...!! Anything else is, merely superfluous..
God did create the perfect horse, Secretariat. He was perfect in form, color, his head was gorgeous and when running it was poetry in motion. Big Red the greatest horse to ever grace a race track! He was breathtaking!
Whether he's the best ever, I think he is. But 1 thing is for sure. That June day in 1973 will never be equaled! You had s tremendous horse at the zenith of his life, running in perfect conditions. It's a record that will stand forever
Damn straight! he is the greatest stallion to ever gallop upon this earth, I created a belt buckle before the Belmont, I knew he was going to win, the times are on the back of each buckle they are my pride. My pride & joy, for I created the buckles before he won the Triple Crown. Someone has #1 buckle I cast in 999.9 silver, That person whomever you are, owes me that buckle.
We wonder at times why when the name SECRETARIAT is mentioned tears form in our eyes. Is it perhaps that we (who were fortunate enough to be around to witness not only the incredible & tremendous speed he possessed but also his BIG affectionate personality both off & on the race track, his intelligence along with his beauty & poise) wonder if there will ever again come into the lives of the American people a presence of this magnitude in the shape of a horse. He gave us all a sense of awe & pride @ a time in this country's life when it needed it so badly! And for that, I can only say: "THANK-YOU!" (Were that you could be around in our lives today!)
I was…watched all the races with my Dad so those moments were even more beautiful…what an incredible animal…he was so gorgeous inside and out!!! Thank You Big Red!!!!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜
Horses are so noble & graceful, to begin with. Their beautiful movement while running awes me & makes me feel as though all is right with the world. Add to that Secretariat’s overdose of physical beauty & astonishing power… my God, he had it all!!!
I love the scene in the movie when it’s quiet and he suddenly comes around the bend full speed. I so wish I could have seen that live. There will be other fast horses, but none more than him..
Secretariat- clean, pure,innocent-the horse of horses. Princely creature made by God. May you rest ever in peace and tranquility haven shown your perfection for all to see. You will always be remembered.
March 30, 2020 - Secretariat's 50th Birthday!! Isn't it great to have films to capture his majesty. SONG FOR SECRETARIAT: John Stewart (of the Kingston Trio) "Let The Big Horse Run."
Mrs. Penny consulted on the movie. The problem was cramming a life story of Secretariat, trainer, jokey, handler, many races, etc into a 2 hr movie. I wish Disney would've made the movie into 3 series.
Love this horse still. My eyes tear and my heart gets full when I see him. There is no other like him and there never will be no matter what. I hope people will still love him a hundred years from now. Love you Secretariat the legend. ❤ 🐎
@@jm1657 The whole farm is just beyond gorgeous! The cemetery was amazing.. .Riva Ridge is very close to Secretariat's grave I put a penny on both their headstones and took many pictures. I was glad I didn't get to emotional we were in groups of 10. I did my crying before and after 😉 .
@@christinematton4125 So lovely that you also paid tribute to Riva Ridge, Penny’s dearest equine love. He was so accomplished - and to this day, still owns multiple speed records incl. at least 1 World record - yet was basically forgotten by so many in the blinding light that was Secretariat. 🥺
@@jm1657 I agree! But he was loved and well taken care of that's the most important thing. I'm glad Riva is at Claiborne it is a testament to his greatness also.
The last photo of him in this video is awesome. One can really see that massive shoulder, neck and girth. That’s what they all breed for…that perfection and Secretariat had it all.
Big Red the greatest of all time, the racing legend. Magnificent athlete, you can never forget him because he is the story of the gallop, thanks to Ron Turcotte and to all those who at that time were close to Secretariat... R. I. P. great champion, stay forever in my heart ❤
Secretariat 's heart turned out to be 50% bigger than normal when he was autopsied after his death. That was why he could go so fast. He effectively had his own EPO system!
Lucia - your video is as special as the horse himself. You clearly put this together with great care & reverence. It’s deeply moving. I love also that there’s footage I hadn’t seen before. It all adds up to a warm intimate look at the life & career of a creature that should never be forgotten. Thank you for making this & sharing it publicly!
@@joemacinnis1972 It was never done before. 31 lengths! It still to this day has never been done by another horse. Secretariat’s record will stand forever!
I was showing hunters and jumpers at this time and always had fun fantasizing about what he would be like over fences with my riding buddies. Of course, running was his purpose. Thank you for the best Secretariat tribute I have seen. I am grateful for the time and effort you put into remembering this legend.
God made Secretariat special at that time United States and going through a very tough time with Vietnam and God needed a champion so he made one that horse
Your Socks are to color, your pointer foot to guide you. My Mount show you fury, exhale the Breath of you Lord. I await you in Heaven, My beloved creation.
I was 15 when Secretariat won the Triple Crown. I watched the Kentucky Derby each year since 1970. In 1973 I followed him through the Triple Crown and am so happy to relive the memories.
@ but he stood lived and died in Bourbon County Kentucky. In the horse CAPITAL of the wold. I worked at CLAIBORNE FARM and seen him very often. And he was loved cherished and always will be. THIS IS AND ALWAYS AND WILL BE THE HOME OF THE BIG RED ONE!!!!!!!!!!
@@jayrainey315 I live just 20 miles from Paris. I used to visit him at least once a month. He was so sweet tempered, so full of himself and so magnificent in every way. I will love him until I die.
I am in Pennsylvania But was raised in. Kentucky best thing ever was when my dad took to the starting gate will never forget the awesome power of the horses waiting to break free
@@ronniewoods582 No, he will not be remembered as a human, but the name "Secretariat" will always be etched in our hearts, and remembered for generations, its already happened, just as other historical figures and events...

In 1973 the Greatest athlete the world had ever known, was a Horse, of course.
2022 can't get enough of this horse!

Greatest horse God ever made.....he is a legend.....loved.....loved ....loved him.....so happy to know his owner lived next to us for many years.....
Secretariat, the greatest athlete that ever lived.
Charlie Davis and Eddie Sweat, the two people closest to Secretariat. What a dream job they had. They don't get the credit they deserve.
What memories they had!!!
Agreed
Rumor has it both would switch off sleeping in the stall with him sometimes. How cool 😮
When he runs in his paddock the sod flies high. Damn, what muscles!
I watched and lived in the time of secretariat!… Man he was something he truly was and he came along at the right time. I LOVE THIS HORSE!!👊❤️🇺🇸
The king! The charisma, the stride, the common sense. Never will rise again.
WHEN BIG RED decided to run, last one off the track turn off the lights. This horse will NEVER be duplicated. SPECTACULAR!!!
I will always love him and I will never forget what he was and what he meant to those of us who love horses. He was perfect.
We love you big red one of the greatest athletes of all time

Indeed, Secretariat ran that 1973 Belmont like a rocket,
I will see you "Big Red" in heaven!
Who can watch this without tears in their eyes?
He was truly one of God's most beautiful creations.
He died to dang young!
God created a beautiful horse...

Words can’t describe Secratariat. But still we try.
Wow such a red fancy pants!! Secretariat was a perfectly lovely racing horse.
Loved to run, no quiet needed, and loved the camera, one fabulous horse
Secretariat will always be the Greatest horse that ever lived!!! 🐴

Even when they made a disney movie about him it was not as fantastic as the real life of SECRETARIAT ! He was definitely GOD'S perfect creature

They couldn't possibly duplicate what happened in a movie.
We fell in love with and that will never die.we tucked you away in a small corner of our hearts to live forever
GREAT horse! The Best of them all! 👍⭐😁🐴 💞 🦁 🐑
He could have run all day. Greatest race horse ever.
Beautiful tribute to the GREATEST HORSE THAT EVER LIVED.There will never be another like him,he truly was a SPECIAL GIFT FROM GOD.💙
His joy in running will never be equaled. He was such a handsome horse and there will never be another like him. He was a one and only creation
ALL horses are magnificent creatures in their own right. They should be treated with more love & respect than they are...
Indeed, horses built this country on their backs..
Love this horse still. My eyes tear and my heart gets full when I see him. There is no other like him and there never will be no matter what. I hope people will still love him a hundred years from now. Love you Secretariat the legend. ❤ 🐎

Any way you try to describe his greatness, it’s an understatement!
Yes, it would be. Hi John!
@@BeveC21E hi Beverly
Eddie Sweat loved that horse. He was a terrific groomer. He's with him today taking care of secretariat.
Lovely tribute. We rarely see athletic perfection. This horse will never be forgotten.
KATE ROSSI - So true. We remember especially today, March 30, 2020 his 50th Birthday. Best Wishes to you.

No matter who you were, you still rooted for him, even if your horse lost. The TRILL OF THE RACE was his.

Why do so many people still to this day, get tears in their eyes watching the Belmont stakes?

He was the greatest thing i have ever seen awestruck ❤❤❤
I also remember Riva Ridge, who saved the Meadows, so that secretariat could grow up and be trained there
Ronnie Turcotte road the King's Horse. I wonder how that felt.
Ron was one lucky man, so was everyone else that was around him throughout his life
Big red I'll never forget him❤💯💪🏽💪🏽
The horse of the Messiah, the Mount of God
He saved the Farm, what a Blessing a True Gift From God🙏✝️🙏Christopher Chenrey had front row seat in Heavens view ( :
Actually, "Riva Ridge saved the farm" as Penny quoted..

Most notable comment: HE DIDN'T USE A WHIP THAT HORSE WANTED THAT MORE THAN THE RIDER
This horse was so scary that it made it Beautiful!

Thank you for keeping his memory alive
Beautiful tribute and excellent footage. Like President Lincoln,... Secretariat..... "now belongs to the ages"
