While Secretariat’s heart was indeed larger than most race horses, his hindquarters were the main source of his power, with a sloped croup that extended the length of his femur. When in full stride, his hind legs were able to reach far under himself, increasing his drive. His ample girth, long back and well-made neck all contributed to his heart-lung efficiency. Fifty years later and still holds all three Triple Crown race records. "WHAT A HORSE"

@nancycowan7082 Год назад

You are 100% correct! As close to perfect as ppssible!

@ssansu Год назад

His stride was extraordinary efficient. Analysis of his stride shows that he covered ground using less energy than other horses, a huge advantage.

@katelist8367 Год назад

Yes, his sloping hip! Ironic, because in some early coverage someone was coming up with his extra sloping hip as his only confirmation fault ... his heart and his hip and his brain and his people!😊

I got to "meet" Secretariat as a guest on the farm. I approached him from the other side of the fence. He met me at the fence, raised his nose in the air and shifted his weight over his front legs as if to say "You are welcome to admire me. You may not touch me." It was 35 years ago and I will never forget that moment .

Secretariat was not only the Triple Crown Winner, but a winner in all his fans eyes. He was an amazing magnificant red horse who stood tall and regal and when he was asked to show his speed in the Kentucky Derby were excited and spellbound to see "Big Red" run and leave the pack way, way, way behind. I was. In awe of his size his beauty and Secretariat himself. I wish he had been mine. R.I.P. Big Red you have not been forgotten.

Horse racing is full of abuse. These horses are given drugs and used for a profit. You are so focused on the entertainment of horse racing you don't see it for what it really is. It's all about the money. More laws should be passed to protect racehorses from greedy, abusive people.

Didn't see the movie because I lived to see his races and him, both on the track and up close. I cried when he died and I don't cry easily. Yes he was a magnificent horse, and yes he lifted the spirits of our nation in a dark time, but he was just a different horse. I saw him in a stall, and unlike a lot of thoroughbred horses, he was calm and gentle. He was very large in size, but gentle and just a sweet horse. He exuded a sense of goodness that I can't describe in words. I was just a kid, but I knew this horse was so much more than just a horse, not because of his racing, but because he was smart and kind as well as a super athlete horse.

"He is moving like a tremendous machine!"

I KNOW how important EVERYONE was in Sec's young life, and how every one of those people made him what he came to be.

I was nine years old that year. It was incredible to see him coming around the final turn and leaving the others like they were standing still. He was the spitting image of Man-O-War. Bold Ruler his sire was descended from Fair Play who was the sire of Man-O-War. I collected many photos of both Secretariat and Man-O-War and the only thing that let you tell them apart was that they had different feet that were white. I looked and looked for anything else that would give it away and their was nothing. If I am remembering right they called Man-O-War Big Red too.

Was set on the back of Big Red when I was young. All I remember was, , , 'HUGE!!!!!". No pictures of me on the horse, but one of my Uncle standing beside Secretariat. My Uncle worked as a trainer at Churchill Downs and rubbed shoulders with the owners and everyone. I had the run of the place, and I ran around the whole track with my sister. Never will there be another Big Red. I just watched the Secretariat movie about 2 months ago.

The late Queen Elizabeth II, being the horse owner that she was, must have been shocked out of her mind when word got to her about Secretariat's super-sized heart. Now the both of them are in the great big horse park in the sky...
