"The Triple Crown Challenge" Produced in May of 2003.. a look back at some of the Triple Crown winners and those that failed in their attempt at immortality..
Dan patch and Mission Brief were faster for their era and the both of them were better bred especially Mission Brief with the entire lineage all world champions all the way back to Ima Lula. Remember they never took Mission Brief to the Red Mile for a time trial. She jogged in a 1:50.3 at The Red Mile as a two year old October 2nd 2013 a record that will outlast any of Secretariat's records. Secretariat never achieved the moniker "the freak of nature" like Mission Brief.
@@atomexpireshard to say that. Man o war has zero times faster than secretariat. None of his records have lasted 50 years like big red’s triple crown times have….
Secretariat is the horse that would take your breath away with his beauty and his speed! I’ve watched every video that came up about the Super Horse, Secretariat. I will never get tired of watching this gorgeous, majestic horse! This was one horse that could touch your heart and fill your eyes with tears. SECRETARIAT was the greatest racehorse that would ever run the track!
He is just perfection. I was there for the Belmont . And I think about that every month for the last 50 years. It was one of my happiest days except when I had my kids.
Secretariat.....the GOAT ......his heart ❤ was twice the size of the average horse when his autopsy was done. Once in a century a perfect horse is born. A gift from the animal kingdom for mankind to enjoy and witness , ........speed, grace, beauty , courage , and heart ... perfection on four legs !!!
@@kuangtien3980 Everyone (meaning a whole heap a' folks) has done it. Your thread was just where I scratched my grammar itch. Thanks for giving me the chance to say "a whole heap a' folks". They even did it in Jaws!
He accelerated from gate to finish line in the Derby and hit 39 mph before Ronnie stood up in his irons. I wonder how fast he was running in the Belmont ? I wish Mr. & Mrs. Chenery had lived to see this day.
@@stevek8829 Not until these two horses died did anyone know they had extra large hearts. Therefore this wasn't a consideration when selecting mares. Genetics specialists today would no doubt have capitalized on it.
My Grand-daughter and I would watch the Movie Secretariat and love it as well as the actual filming of the Triple Crown with Secretariat. What a beautiful horse with a mind and personality of his own. How sad that he was in so much pain that he had to be put to sleep eventually to give him peace. Looking at him you can see how smart he was, how he controlled the Races in his own time and space...A Legend, a Champion, a treat for anyone who saw him in action xoxo
@GARY MCGILL That's awful. I had the "Him" and "Her" buttons from OTB NYC when I was a kid, and I can't find them either. (WHAT AN AWFUL RACE-- RIP RUFFIAN).
lenicandii I cannot even fathom what it would feel like to have lived & experienced Big Red's triple crown crown win. I cry & am just blown away just watching him on CZcams or on the big screen... Let em run Ronnie, let him run!
Consider yourself one of the luckiest People in the world. I know that will be in your heart forever. Im happy to see Secretariat's film winning all three. Brings tears. Beautiful athlete, and so gentle.
How can you say there was nothing "royal" about Seattle Slew? Bold Ruler was his grandfather and Secretariat was the son of Bold Ruler. Sounds pretty special to me!
Slew was a great horse. But the Derby, Preakness and Belmont records are Big Red’s. And will be after I die. Racing has changed so that breeding a speed horse like Red is not profitable (WSJ) article I read about 2years ago.
@@foots-qt4pk When it comes to names of famous racehorses people should get the name right, since there could be another horse out there with the name Something Royal.
People we got opportunity to witness history today! I still can't believe that I got to see a triple crown winner in my lifetime. I don't ever think I cheered so loudly in my life when they turned the corner for home. I even got choked up a bit. Man I love this sport! Congrats to the American Pharaoh crew and to all of us!
David Huntley It is awesome I do reckon they should have different trainers like their was 3 hores in the race to 1 trainer 2 to another,Its a bit greedy really Time to only allow 1 horse from 1 trainer in the race,Rich just keep getting richer.MONEY TALKS ITS WRONG
+STANLEY PARANORMAL I feel this would be unfair to owners, who want their horses trained by the best. And the 10% of the purse that goes to a trainer isn't a huge cut, although I realize it's a lot of money when it comes to stakes races. Aside from these issues, unless the best-qualified horses - regardless of their connections - are entered in a race, its results would always be subject to debate.
I understand how you must have cheered; it was the way I did when Secretariat won. After 37 years I was beginning to wonder if maybe no horse would ever do it again.
They should've taken much better care of Secretariat health. They give Penny too much credit. They don't talk about that. He ran with a fever one time and then with a abscess in his mouth, but he tried to power through it. I would've checked on Secretariat's health every day. He will always be MY HERO!
+John Wurth So true. One sportswriter called him "the horse who ran beside history instead of into it." I'm one of those who believe he ran the second-fastest Derby in history.
IMHO, if you watch the CBS Documentary on CZcams, they are looking at all of the horses that were running the Belmont before the race. Sham was the only horse with cold wraps on his legs! I believe he held his left rear leg up. I am a Secretariat fan all the way. However, Sham was a great horse. I truly believe that leg was really bothering him, and the way he was cropped to death was IMHO inhumane. There was no horse running that day who could have caught up to Secretariat, why beat them?
@@lired70 I know you've watched documentaries on Secretariat? Rarely had to use a cop him attention. Mrs. Tweedy his owner said he didn't need the whip. Also in interviews Mrs. Tweedy herself has gone into a bit of length about how badly she felt about Sham coming up short against Secretariat. The same sentiment that Sham would have won the Triple Crown w/o Secretariat in the field.
@@marthahanley6650 I never said that a whip was used on Secretariat! Sham got beat over and over again at the Belmont by his jockey Laffit Pincay! Ron Turcotte hand rode Secretariat. humanly! He felt bad for Sham and what was done to him! As far as Sham winning the Triple Crown of 1973, if Secretariat had not been born, that is something we can only speculate! Secretariat is and was the GOAT!🏇💖👑 Also, most horses do not respond to the whip!
Great coverage. Chris Lincoln was an excellent broadcaster and certainly awesome for horse racing as well. Great piece. Wish they'd make movie in honor of Affirmed and the "Kid" Steve Cauthen. Only 18 and amazingly enough to accomplish history so very young
My mom and dad always raved on and on about Citation. They wanted to name ME Citation or a name near it....I was born that year. 1948 A lot of crown winners in the 40's and 70's. NOW....it's darn near impossible. CLOSE but nope.
now 2 in 3 years for this decade. how long to the next, # 14? I remember the 70's so much hope for racing after 3 triples in the 70's people doubted how difficult an accomplishment it was then when nothing for the 80's, 90's, early 2K's people then said the horses were too soft to win. Racing has lost it's shine to the American public. Crowds are down and track owners trying to get faster times have made the surfaces dangerous to the delicate limbs of today's thoroughbreds. We need to do something to strengthen their bones and lungs but how?
All said and done the horse is the most regal and majestic animal and all those ppl who own these horses count your blessings you have these beauties ❤️😍😍😍👍
SECRETARIAT is to racing what THE BEATLES are to music........THEEEEE GREATEST! never again will we see the likes of SECRETARIAT....closest was CITATION!
In my opinion, these horses who missed the Triple Crown should have won it: Alysheba, Sunday Silence, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Smarty Jones, and Big Brown. In the case of the latter two horses, the Belmont marked their only career losses. Real Quiet was only four inches away. Silver Charm had everything he needed. Alysheba and Sunday Silence were the victim of poor trips/jockey error.
Dan Pisowloski --The one horse who DESERVED it above all was Spectacular Bid, one of the best horses ever to race. But for a lousy jockey, the 1979 Triple Crown was his.
In 1971 the horse Cañonero Second won The Kentucky Derby, then The Preakness Stakes and came fourt in The Belmont Stakes(he participated injured). It deserves a review in this documentary. ´´Cañoero Second the invading horse from Venezuela´´.
"Nothing royal about Seattle Slew"? Ha. The Domino line shows up at multiple points, on both sides, and the horse's brown-black color was straight Domino; the Fair Play line is also well expressed through Discovery and War Admiral (2x). The great sires Bold Ruler, Equipoise, Alsab, Nasrullah and Polynesian, and immortal dams including Pink Domino, Miss Disco and Black Polly all fill out his sterling pedigree, royal as they come.
@@theresasantucci7103 Secretariats's dam's name was Somethingroyal. It was spelled all in one word due to number of letters allowed in a horse's name to be registered.
+Amanda Kelly While I acknowledge the agony of three and a half decades (waited 18 years myself, since really learning what the Triple Crown was during Silver Charm's attempt), I question calling it a curse. I say they've let the breed weaken, with all the focus on fractious speed, and that made the Triple Crown that much harder to achieve, similar to England's. On a happier note, a horse came close to winning England's Triple Crown a few years ago, so it can also still be done, if good enough.
I hate they use whips on these horses.. notice there was inly 2 whips used on Secretariat.. Was pissed when I seen it he did not need it. None of them do. This is the problem I have with horse racing. It’s cruel
The Wednesday before the 1981 Belmont, I called into CNN and asked John Campo (who lost 45 horses in a barn fire soon after) if he was worried that a horse like Summing could steal the race. "Never been done," he said. I picked Summing at 7-1 but wound up not betting him, as the night before the Belmont I hit the OTB late double at Yonkers with a 2-1 and 14-1 shot who paid $310.
Once Visa sponsored the bonus, six horses in eight years were live going into the Belmont, and all six lost. I had War Emblem in the Derby and Sarava at 71-1 in the Belmont, missing the 2400+ exacta over Meg D'oro even though I said you could toss his Preakness.
She was also known in racing as a "freak of nature" she was huge for not just a filly but as a 2 year old she was so large most thought she was a stud colt. Most people don't realize that until she broke down, she was winning. She lead every race she ran, including against Foolish Pleasure.
Ruffian either met or broke the race or track record in 9 of her 10 races. Lucian Lauren once said when he seen her in person that she might be better than Secretariat, that’s saying something!!!
Alysheba should be Triple Crown Winner #12. McCarron admits today he was scared to death on Alysheba during his Belmont. At least he has the guts to admit he blew it for the horse. Van Berg told McCarron before the Race the horse would be in front the entire Race. McCarron was white as a ghost, Van Berg knew it was over then. Owners of Alysheba should've put Pat Day on Alysheba for the Belmont!!
SECRETARIAT WAS SUPER GREAT !!!!!!!😮!No shade on Sham - he was a good horse and Sham didn’t brag on hisself , lol, unfortunately Sham faded to last in the Belmont because his jockey realized he was badly injured and that ended his racking ccareer 😢, poor Sham . Also poor Secretariat died from a fatal hoof desease later on in his life !!!
This was made in 2003. The very next year Smarty Jones came one leg short in the Belmont. I hit the trifecta and was at the actual Derby when Smarty Jones hit. Those who'd like to know the Derby experience is overrated even when you hit the trifecta
Penny surprises me with her comments she is way off, yea she owned the horse but she did not describe what happened correctly in either of the 4 races, the wood he had a boil in his upper lip and could not bite the bit and it was extremely painful and they found it after the race so her bs is just shocking
I hate that the owner of Citation was so F-ing greedy that he forced Citation to run for 4-5 years. Rather than retiring him and let him live out the rest of his life doing what he loves.
They call Secretariat royalty but nothing princely about Seattle Slew. Absolutely not true, they had a sire in common. A French bred colt by the name of Princequillo, who was shipped to England to save him and his dam from the Nazis.
Everyone says what amazing race too watch but does anybody think what goes on behind the dark truth they hide about what happened too the race horses after they don't win anymore races or get injured so horses are only young horses or thoroughbreds that have race before with markings on them the owners sent them too auction then sent too the slaughter house plus these owners are never punished or prosecuted for they actions or cruelty because they know they can get away with it plus they need too feel pain like the horses do
Big Kitty:) Been following his run since the derby, I'm hoping he wins!!! Lots of hype and incredible praise for him from some very highly respected people in horse racing.
+Genuine Risk Love your "name!" My friend & I screamed so loudly while watching Genny win the Derby that the guys next door broke into my house armed with baseball bats, to "save" us! I'm sort of glad she was beaten fairly in the Belmont; if she hadn't been, that SOB Cordero's having blatantly (IMO) fouled her on Codex in the Preakness would be much, much tougher to live with.
I feel bad watching this, so I'm out. But not before I say there will *never* be another Big Red! He rose above the cruel and petty world of racing and propelled himself to immortality.
For the announcer, the racegoers and the historians the line needs to be changed to "he's moving like a well oiled machine" Please rewrite all the historical writings about Secretariat and tell them parkerbohnn aka Tommy Tutalidge says it's "well oiled machine" not tremendous machine.
@@jaychatterji317 Not true. MoW's owner didn't believe racing a horse that distance when he was that young, according to the Wikipedia page and multiple other sources. Had he decided to enter him, I'd bet almost anything MoW would've swept the Derby.
Yes, and Man O'War would have won it. The only other horse who comes any where close to him is Secretariat. Man O'Wars ' owner felt that early May was too early in the year to risk his health. What a shame!!!
There will NEVER be another Secretariat!!! He's THE Best EVER in EQUINE HISTORY!!!
Man O War was better in my opinion but I love Secretariat too!:)

@@sholland42 What about his other races? Dan Patch was 50 lengths faster than the horses he ran against back in that era.
@@atomexpireshard to say that. Man o war has zero times faster than secretariat. None of his records have lasted 50 years like big red’s triple crown times have….

Notice that Ronnie never had to use his whip to get Big Red to run. He was born to run. GOAT.

You gotta give Sham credit, he battled with Secretariat in the Kentucky and battled for half of the Belmont. Props.
If anyone had realized he and Secretariat both had extra large hearts they both would have been treated a lot differently as studs.
Sham was a damn good horse and a great contender for Secretariat!

give credit to eddie sweat whom have a significant contribution for caring secretariat..

You could feel the bond between him and Secretariat. I think Secretariat had the best people around him to care and loved.
And Billy Silver!

She was also known in racing as a "freak of nature" she was huge for not just a filly but as a 2 year old she was so large most thought she was a stud colt. Most people don't realize that until she broke down, she was winning. She lead every race she ran, including against Foolish Pleasure.
Ruffian either met or broke the race or track record in 9 of her 10 races. Lucian Lauren once said when he seen her in person that she might be better than Secretariat, that’s saying something!!!
Should be called Triple Crown winners of the 70s
What an amazing animal
Secretariat is the GREATEST horse ever n he was a hero too.
I just heard that Justify may be brought out of retirement next year to race in the Breeders Cup Classic?
Alysheba should be Triple Crown Winner #12. McCarron admits today he was scared to death on Alysheba during his Belmont. At least he has the guts to admit he blew it for the horse. Van Berg told McCarron before the Race the horse would be in front the entire Race. McCarron was white as a ghost, Van Berg knew it was over then. Owners of Alysheba should've put Pat Day on Alysheba for the Belmont!!
N. .
Blew away the competition!!!!!!!
SECRETARIAT WAS SUPER GREAT !!!!!!!😮!No shade on Sham - he was a good horse and Sham didn’t brag on hisself , lol, unfortunately Sham faded to last in the Belmont because his jockey realized he was badly injured and that ended his racking ccareer 😢, poor Sham . Also poor Secretariat died from a fatal hoof desease later on in his life !!!
heart twice as big
This was made in 2003. The very next year Smarty Jones came one leg short in the Belmont. I hit the trifecta and was at the actual Derby when Smarty Jones hit. Those who'd like to know the Derby experience is overrated even when you hit the trifecta
Praying American Pharoah breaks the triple crown curse!!!
***** Like the late great Jackie Gleason would say, how sweet it is!
He just did it! American Pharaoh broke the 37-year drought!!
Don't pray, it happened
Lucky # 13
Secretariat for president
Poor Sham.
Penny surprises me with her comments she is way off, yea she owned the horse but she did not describe what happened correctly in either of the 4 races, the wood he had a boil in his upper lip and could not bite the bit and it was extremely painful and they found it after the race so her bs is just shocking
And we have winner number #13 Justified
tsukune007 it’s justify
Chills
Why CANONERO II is missing from the list?
He was not a triple crown winner 🏇🐴🐎
I hate that the owner of Citation was so F-ing greedy that he forced Citation to run for 4-5 years. Rather than retiring him and let him live out the rest of his life doing what he loves.
I had the privilege to own a pure bred mare who was a granddaughter of his. What a beautiful mare she was. I never ran her and she never was run, hm.
Granddaughter of who?
Let’s not forget a great horse Big Brown who really would’ve down it all in good fashion if it was for injuries
They call Secretariat royalty but nothing princely about Seattle Slew. Absolutely not true, they had a sire in common. A French bred colt by the name of Princequillo, who was shipped to England to save him and his dam from the Nazis.
31 lengths, 31…
No other horse could get close to him.
I passed 4 and came back for #4
Poor Sham!
Everyone says what amazing race too watch but does anybody think what goes on behind the dark truth they hide about what happened too the race horses after they don't win anymore races or get injured so horses are only young horses or thoroughbreds that have race before with markings on them the owners sent them too auction then sent too the slaughter house plus these owners are never punished or prosecuted for they actions or cruelty because they know they can get away with it plus they need too feel pain like the horses do
I bet you eat hamburgers, ribs and wings.
Take your animal "rights" b.s. and stick it.
Go cry somewhere eles
Megan Woodard American Pharoah,if you don't already know.
Big Kitty:) Been following his run since the derby, I'm hoping he wins!!! Lots of hype and incredible praise for him from some very highly respected people in horse racing.
Megan Woodard
Now he has
LIKE MAXIMUM SECURITY
I guess they have to make a new documentary now that American Pharoah won the Triple Crown!
+Genuine Risk Love your "name!" My friend & I screamed so loudly while watching Genny win the Derby that the guys next door broke into my house armed with baseball bats, to "save" us! I'm sort of glad she was beaten fairly in the Belmont; if she hadn't been, that SOB Cordero's having blatantly (IMO) fouled her on Codex in the Preakness would be much, much tougher to live with.
After today they'll have to add both American Pharaoh and Justify
2 new ones American Pharaoh in 2015 and Justified 2018. both under the same trainer,
Seattle slew defeated affirmed in his come back race
🤗👍👍
wow
Johnny Campo. Looked and sounded like a mafia boss.
Secretariat is my favorite racehorse
I don't like the Spectacular Bid story (blame it on the jockey)... but what do I know? I'm just a big fan, but no expert...
Why not just name this video “Secretariat” 😒
I feel bad watching this, so I'm out. But not before I say there will *never* be another Big Red! He rose above the cruel and petty world of racing and propelled himself to immortality.
Yes, he knew racing against him was pointless.
Did you see the difference between Sham and Secretariat? Secretariat was twice the width as Sham. That poor guy never stood a chance!
Sham was a special horse, but no match, no horse could compete with secretariat.
True.
For the announcer, the racegoers and the historians the line needs to be changed to "he's moving like a well oiled machine"
Please rewrite all the historical writings about Secretariat and tell them parkerbohnn aka Tommy Tutalidge says it's "well oiled machine" not tremendous machine.
No thanks! It's authentic. Peace and light 😊
Bob got it with American pharaoh and justify
The moment I saw sec I NEW HE WAS A WINNER. VANESSA KATHRYN MULHOLLAND STALLWOOD
Still HATE The Crop.
Was The Triple Crown a thing when man o war was alive?If so,he would've won.Hes one of the greatest racehorses of all time!
Sam Riddle, his owner, looked down on "Western" tracks and refused to enter him. Greed overcame snobbery when War Admiral came on.
@@jaychatterji317 Not true. MoW's owner didn't believe racing a horse that distance when he was that young, according to the Wikipedia page and multiple other sources. Had he decided to enter him, I'd bet almost anything MoW would've swept the Derby.
I think the derby and preakness were only a week apart back then. Eligible horses would run one or the other.
Yes, and Man O'War would have won it. The only other horse who comes any where close to him is Secretariat. Man O'Wars ' owner felt that early May was too early in the year to risk his health. What a shame!!!
@@alexisunangst761 In his day, yes.
Poor Alydar was murdered!
Yeah...and they were only charged with insurance fraud. GO FIGURE.
Yes... terrible... disgusting
