Secretariat's Triple Crown Victories
I went to the movies over the weekend and saw the trailer for the movie Secretariat on the big screen. It does promise to be a great movie, told in that Disney style that may skimp a little on the truth, but makes up for it in the emotions department.
For those of you who never saw Secretariat's actual races, I dug up this very good video that shows him winning the Triple Crown in 1973. That Belmont race still gives me goosebumps.
Enjoy!
I was fortunate to be able to see Secretariat's Triple Crown run live (on TV). It was a magical time for horse racing, and I can't wait to see the movie!
