There can be only one secretariat.

The horse is magic in motion. Had we never had Secretariat as a yardstick to measure greatness, we would not know what greatness is. Mitch

Oh how I remember this day so well ... way back in October 1973. My family and I (was a kid back then) went to Woodbine for Big Red's final race. The track was SO unbelievably crowded, the weather was cold, raining, windy, nasty. But it was worth it to see Secretariat win his final race. None of us were disappointed, it will be in our memories forever. The buzz-on at Woodbine that day was unbelievable.... everyone in the track was in a good mood, very excited and upbeat to Big Red.

That wasn't air coming out of Secretariat, that was friggin diesel fuel!

Secretariat is my #1 race horse. Nobody is as good as him. I love him like my own life. And I still remember the time when I first saw him run. . .what a thrill. My heart just skips a beat once he gets the lead by 3/4 lengths. I am SOO glad that producers are making a movie about him, he deserves it as much as anybody.

I wonder how the Canadiens felt when Secretariat blazed by their super horse Kennedy Road like he was standing still? Classic moment when the announcer says "Here he comes and he's all yours" before he crosses the finish line. I was 8 when Secretariat retired and my grandmother told me to take a good look at him because I'll never see another one like him! How correct she was!

Secretariat, just a magnificent horse. One of a kind.

Just a couple of comments in response to some of the things said by others. First, I read somewhere that his stride covered 25 feet. Second, although he only ran a couple of races on the turf, his trainer said he ran even better on grass than dirt. And finally, Turcotte said that riding him was the easiest of any other horse he rode. I prefer to think that after this race Secretariat just sprouted wings and flew away to Heaven where he runs today.
