Description: This is Secretariat's historic 1973 Belmont Stakes victory. What makes this video different from all other Belmont 1973 footage on youtube? Well, the elongated coverage of the race. It is fun to see the actual initial response to this race by the commentators, the crowd etc.

OIFRoberts ::: Favorites a machine. sorry i was born 10 yrs after this race but footage like this verify all the stories. He went 1:09 in 6, going a mile in a half. Crazy. Only horse i've seen in recent years with the ability to put sprinter fractionson distance races is Ghostzapper. 07-08-26 00:34:05 _____________________________________________________
Jazzgirl8888 ::: Favorites Great video!I love to watch this race!Thank you so much for posting!! 07-08-25 19:53:19 _____________________________________________________
roarimablackbear ::: Favorites Has anyone thought the other horses pretty much gave up? I mean the 3rd place caught up to 2nd place after losing by 10 so obviously the 2nd place horse slowed up considerably. 07-08-25 13:55:17 _____________________________________________________
aquacave ::: Favorites Hah!~ Don't fall for that. Sham broke on this race anc never raced again. The others crossed the line 31 lengths and more behind Big Red with times comparable to previous Belmont finishers. That, and the fact that no horse has come close to 2:24 in the intervening third of a century point to something very special happening that 9th day of June back in '73. 07-08-25 22:11:30 _____________________________________________________

VampireYoshi ::: Favorites The far turn of this race was like the recent Texas Rangers game, the first since 1897 where a team scored 30 points...in a BASEABALL game. Freak of nature kind of moment. 07-08-24 05:58:41 _____________________________________________________

dukeblue0524 ::: Favorites The only horses I think would have a chance in a long race with him was Whirlaway or Man O War. 07-08-23 23:58:16 _____________________________________________________
TheSatyrIcon ::: Favorites What a horse! By the third turn, it didn't MATTER who was in the field against Secretariat, it was a match between Secretariat, the track, and the clock. 07-08-23 23:54:19 _____________________________________________________
dukeblue0524 ::: Favorites camerron Do you know how fats 2:24 is for a mile and a half? Afirmed went 114 to 6 furs in the belmont and Secretariat was 109 and change, that's 28 + lengths ahead. Afirmed finished in 226.4 which is about 20 lengths behind Secretariats Belmont time. Your comparing Lebron to JORDAN! 07-08-23 23:51:46 _____________________________________________________
geeisthisnametaken ::: Favorites And it still holds the record time since they increased the track length in 1926. 07-08-23 23:46:45 _____________________________________________________
