Dubai videos | Buildings | Information | History | Emirates | View
This is Secretariat's historic 1973 Belmont Stakes victory. I uploaded the original video which is over 1 million hits 5 years ago. I can now rip at a much higher quality and I wanted to put the upgrade on Youtube for everyone to enjoy. :) Unfortunately the footage is from 1973 so it will never be the HD we now have come to enjoy, but this should look good on 27" screens or higher compared to the old one. 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.

I was at Belmont when Affirmed won the triple in 19 78, an experience I will never forget. I just watched the Secretariat movie and can't remember when I had so many tears.... I could watch footage of his races every day and never watch another sporting event the rest of my life. Amazing back story on how Mrs. Tweedy got him on a coin toss.

The tremendous heart of the horse is beyond anything we as humans can ever comprehend.

Job 39:19-25 (ESV)
“Do you give the horse his might?
Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
Do you make him leap like the locust?
His majestic snorting is terrifying.
He paws in the valley and exults in his strength;
he goes out to meet the weapons.
He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
he does not turn back from the sword.
Upon him rattle the quiver,
the flashing spear, and the javelin.
With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground;
he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting."
I just saw the movie and I hope, that the L-rd will resurrect this horse that glorified His Name in such a magnificent manner! I want to meet this horse! -

there are words to describe how I felt on this day some 33 years ago...big red ...wow

I saw all 3 races live. I watched the 2nd half of the Belmont with my mouth hanging open. It is still the single greatest sport moment in history. I watched a magical creature and it made me weep.

I was 12 years old sitting in my living room with my parents watching this, we were all just in awe of witnessing this race, I'm so glad I got to witness this race, will never forget Secretariat, there will never be another

I know it's hard to compare horses to humans but I believe it was the single greatest one day performance in athletic history
-
Absolutely the greatest moment in sports if all time.
-
wowwwwwwwwwwwww what a race

Bojack always underestimates himself see how amazing he is
-
the greatest racehorse that ever lived..And the greatest performance of an athlete of all time..Not even close...
-
who won?

Miss Jennifer Banks, American Pharaoh is NOT even close to being one of the best. He sucks, he got off lucky in the Belmont if you ask me. Seabiscuit,Ruffian,Citation,Kelso,Man O' War, and MANY others can kick his ass easily
