We’re coming upon the 50th anniversary of his incredible Triple Crown run. Some of us witnessed history that day.

Great read, capcat, thanks for posting it. In my opinion, the greatest of all time."There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves us all not to talk about the rest of us." Robert Louis Stevenson -
When I graduated from UK's AG school I worked on a beef cattle farm in Woodford County. One day we took a ride to the KY State Horse Park to see "Big Red". Just a powerful experience. That horse was the most majestic, intimidating looking beast I had ever seen. I couldn't look over his back. Truly awe inspiring. His race at the Derby was legendary. Won by 31 lengths and a still record time. I'll never forget it.Comment

He was amazing, on the track and in person. We went to see him at Claiborne Farm the year after he won the Triple Crown. I don’t think it was possible to fully take that moment in. In years to come, his autopsy showed his heart wasn’t enlarged, just big. He was born to run.Last edited by capcat; 03-12-2023, 08:41 AM.Comment

Of course I watched each leg of the triple crown Secretariat won. Then a few years ago watched the movie and cried through the Belmont Final Stretch. He was an awesome specimen and so athletic.John 3:3
