Secretariat’s amazing Belmont race (1973)

Secretariat at the Belmont has always made me emotional, is it that way for anybody else?

There is something about the determination and exertion. Perfection. It makes me cry. I see it in the faces of my kids when they are running, too. No joke, I’ve talked about it in therapy! https://t.co/y7vuYJm3zE

How fast is Secretariat's derby time of 1:59.4, which is still the record 49 years later?

Secretariat would have beaten today's winner Rich Strike by 13 lengths!

The 1973 Triple Crown winner died more than 30 years ago. But in the minds of so many, he remains unusually alive. https://t.co/aK07n435cL via @ChuckCulpepper1
