Behold Greatness - Secretariat at the Belmont Stakes (1973)

I woke up excited. The Belmont Stakes and all the hoopla about Big Brown have me ready to watch some thoroughbreds.






I've watched this clip a few times and I find it astounding every time I see it. Rumor has people actually teared up watching this. I've heard it referred to as the 'most incredible individual feat by an athlete ever'.

He just keeps pulling away..."moving like a tremendous machine!" (whatta great call!)

You may never see anything like this again...or you may see something like it today.

Also, RIP to Jim McKay, a legend in sportscasting. Before there was ESPN, we had this...
