It's entirely possible he was the second best racehorse of all time.....behind Rachel Alexandra of course.
A couple of years ago I bought a tape entitled "74 Great Races" on e-bay, this was one of the races on it and it's truly fantastic. The filming wasn't usual track feed, but a lone camera zoomed in on Secretariat. Very cool.
