    Not just the greatest horse in history, Secretariat is the greatest athlete ever.

    He was a bobby dazzler; a one off; a pin up; a superstar; a superfreak; a crazy cool horse.

    People ask me who i think is the best athlete of my lifetime.  I always say “Secretariat.”

    I was a 10 year old kid in 1973. I watched Secretariat run the greatest horse race I had ever seen. He just plain embarrassed the field and when he could have relaxed and still won the race, he was still accelerating. Grown men were crying but they had witnessed something that may never be seen again. RIP Big Red

    Everybody wanted him and was was never “clumsy”. He did have a mind of his own.

    I will never forget watching this amazing horse in 1973. To this day I hear his name and my mind takes me back to Belmont. ❤

    Secretariats 31 lengths beating Shem at the Belmont still makes my eyes water as I near my 70th Birthday on August 21, 2026. There will never be another Secretariat.❤
