Fifty Years Ago Today…

Secretariat crushed the competition at Belmont to win the Triple Crown. It was a spectacular performance…

I remember that. Blew everyone else away. Wasn't he later found to have an abnormally large heart?

Every time I hear about Secretariat or see pictures of him, I shed tears. He was so beautiful and so awesome. He should have lived forever. Some animals are so wonderful that they should never die.

My grandfather was a big fan. He had uncles who were jockeys. They wanted him to be one too, but at 5'9" he got too tall.

Yes.

Freak of nature.

One of a kind.

He was the greatest of all time.
