Goose bumps everytime.

Never gets old.

See Steve goes and plays that call from the backstretch and by the time it's done, even sans visual, I end up bawling. Part of it is you end up focusing on the actual description even more. What a job by Chic Anderson and, obviously, Secretariat.

Watch it at least once a year... What a horse.
Wish I hadn't have been so young (5) at the time so I would have that memory of watching it live.

I was 23 years old when Secretariat ran the TC. There is nothing, no criticism of competition, no anything that will ever change my mind as to why this horse continues to wear the mantle of the greatest. It's because he was.

I'll always believe that his Belmont Stakes tour de force was the single greatest race of my lifetime. Andy Beyer a few years back calculated his speed figure to be 139 in that race. That is beyond phenomenal. He was the best.
