What wonderful memories he has and how fortunate he was to experience interaction with Secretariat. He was so so special. He's like a vitamin to me. I watch him everyday. There will never be another. I think he was the most famous horse ever. And the most beautiful
What a privilege that he had to be around the great Secretariat ! I love hearing the stories and still get chills and tears watching his huge Belmont victory. All three of his races were so magnificent but obviously, the Belmont was the race of races !
They finished the series a little while back and I miss it every day. The finale of the series was one of the best youtube films I've ever seen. They're currently producing other WW2 short films and considering starting another film series.
I remember once around this time being down there, I think a few of us went to eat at Buddas Delight which was right next door, I looked through the window of the Pussy Galore Stag Bar (it was during daytime off hours mind you) and saw 4 or 5 German Shepherds stalking around in the dark.
I work on ddg 124, mr Barnum's ship. I got to take him for a crane ride up to the mast about two weeks ago. The most humbling and incredible thing ive got to do. Such an honor and an incredibly nice man🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I hung out there from 70 till they shut it down lots of drugs hookers I would bring my swag jewelry exspencive rugs my fence would buy anything of value I pushed barbiturates yellow jackets secanol touenals qualuds what ever I’m 70 now and somehow survived much violence also .. great video.
Ridiculous that somebody had the foresight to do this in 1992. This was peak. I wish they had done this for Holyoke too, that would be crazy to see in this quality in 1992. I loved those staggered walls at Babbage's so much. To me that setup with the monitors up front was iconic and they ruined it when they changed to Gamestop
From the very beginning, it’s clear we are witnessing someone filled with compassion, empathy, and a deep desire for truth. Lynda's words, "It does my heart good to see this is so well cared for," resonate with warmth. Having been friends with Lynda for nearly a decade, I can personally attest to her relentless pursuit of truth. This short segment fills me with pride to call Lynda my friend. I sincerely hope that a new gravestone will be crafted so that Uriah can receive the honor and dignity he deserves from the USA. Thank you, Lynda, for bringing light to those who cannot speak.
Tyler was indeed one of our mediocre presidents (to quote "The Simpsons"), but his remaining family are quite interesting. Especially since he has a grandson who's currently still alive (and, sadly, won't be with us for long, as he's now 95 going on 96).
Not yall not mentioning that he was very selfish. Most abolitionists were upset he went to the press with his story because they wanted to use his method to free others. Also he was given the opportunity to buy his wife and children and he refused! Then went to England to marry a white woman. Not a hero..
Bless this child. He has been different since a little fellow. I remember at the baseball fields he was known as “Coach”. Instead of running and playing like the other little kids, he was leading workouts for the much older players and calling plays.
I was visiting Claiborne Farm in 1973 shortly after "Big Red's" winning the Triple Crown. Penny Tweedy (at the time, became "Chenery") greeted me personally and asked if I would like to have a ride on Secretariat! No comment needed there, so skip ahead to me raising my left foot in reach of his saddle's stirrup when my dream was suddenly interrupted by, "Becky, get up! The alarm didn't go off!" True story. And I've yet to forgive the man who was my husband at the time.
Greetings@@howlongohlord8358! Your comment made me chuckle out loud. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed my story on Secretariat. I certainly enjoyed yours. 😃
So glad I stumbled upon your channel tonight. Love Big Red. He was a gift! I have to say also the El Camino was a cool looking car. The horse and car, two great rides.
Thank you for spotlighting Mr. Mount (perfect name, eh?) and his connection to Secretariat. I know of Eddie Sweat and Charlie Davis, so it is nice to learn something of one of the other people who worked with him.
As an Englishman with a love of horses , and no disrespect to the legendary "Secretariat"... No where near the class of the best horse ever , During his distinguished career, Red Rum established himself as the greatest horse to compete in the Grand National. No competitor in the history of the most prestigious meeting in the sport triumphed more than the bay gelding. His total of three victories at the event are yet to be beaten in the 40 years since his retirement. Elite horses have attempted to match his accomplishment, but not a single one has managed to win twice. Red Rum stands alone in the history of the Grand National, arguably the toughest of all tests for a racehorse.
@@KaiatheSiberianHusky I always give credit where it is due , Secretariat is the finest looking horse I have ever seen.. As a 68 year old, and bred over 4000 horses .. He was a beauty.. ❤
Red Rum was a jumper/steeplechase racer. He ran in completely different type of races. There is no comparison from flat racing and jump racing. Secretariat was not bred for hurdle race’ing… he was bred for flat racing.
Wonderful !! As a former pro equestrian , having worked w/ both race & show horses , this amazing story bro't tears of joy ! His fascinating story should reach more people , such as on CBS' " Sunday Morning " . 🏆💙
Jackson Ward has always been a very special part of Richmond. Hard to explain to outsiders. As a small boy I grew up in "The Ward", "roaming the streets" as we young boys use to do in the 1950s..... Our schools were Baker Elementary, Benjamin Graves Junior High and Maggie L Walker. Some of our braver teachers talked about Mr. Mitchell: said he was a teacher and a brave militant man. They talked about his newspaper . We also heard of Marcus Gravey, W. E. B. Dubois and the great Paul Robeson. In those days the teachers use to put pictures of famous people above the blackboard-people we were expected to know. I even vaguely recall Mrs. Ida B. Well's picture. We also learned about Maggie Lena Walker at a very early age. So segregated schools were not all bad. All of our teachers were of African descent except for one German Jewish man who taught German. John Mitchell was a strong brother. No doubt about that!!
