I hope people realize this is one of the greatest athletic performances by one of the greatest athletes ever.
-
Sham was an incredible, an amazing horse. In any other year he'd have won the Triple Crown. He just had the misfortune to run against a horse out of legend.
-
I don't quite know why, but every time I see footage of this big hearted ( literally) horse run, I tear up. What a horse.
-
"He passed the stands the first time going 36 miles around. Then, the second time around he was going 39 miles an hour. He increased speed each quarter of the race, It just defied logic. No horse can do that!" - William Nack, Secretariat's biographer
-
Best race horse to ever look through a bridle. You will NEVER see a horse like this again. I’m glad I was alive to witness it. Every time I watch this even 50 years later is chilling and emotional.
-
I’ve never seen this race so crystal clear! THANKS NBC SPORTS!
-
50 years this year and no horse has matched Secretarias triple crown run! Last to first and still holds the track record!!
-
Jesus, 50 years of crying whenever I see that force of nature resembling a Big Red horse winning in spectacular fashion. I saw it then and it's no less stupefying now no matter how many times I watch it. He's the greatest athlete of my lifetime, age 63.
-
The clarity of the film is beautiful. Thank you. Now, we just need a clear Preakness and Belmont stakes film.
-
Each quarter mile ran faster than the previous here…a true living being touched by God
-
Love you Secretariat!!! So glad NBC has given us a clear film of your 1973 triumph!!!
-
He will always be remembered as "Secretariat - The Horse God Made!"
-
Just watched this again just over 50 years since the first time, and my eyes are wet.
-
Secretariat, the greatest horse that ever lived!!
-
I remember watching this live. Secretariat was by far the greatest race horse in history!
-
50 years ago today. Hard to believe it’s been that long already. Thank you Ron, Secretariat, Lucien and Penny for the thrilling journey! ❤️
-
Secretariat was just being a nice guy & let his fellow competitors see what it felt like to lead the race for a little while.
-
Big Red's record still holds after 50 years. Secretariat's heart weighed 22lb and God broke the mold when he was born. All horses enjoy running but Secretariat was special. 💗🌷
-
Still amazing 50 years later
-
The horses in that edition of the Derby contain multiple Hall of Fame horses. Sham, Forego, Shecky Green, Our Native and of course the incomparable Secretariat! What a great crop of horses.
