I have seen that Sports Century episode on Secretariat about 10 times. It seems like whenever it is on, I just happen to be channel surfing and find it. I could watch it a 100 times. I was not into horse racing at all when I saw that Belmont race on TV back in 73. I just watched it becasue of all the hype. Ever since that race, I have loved horse racing and Secretariat will always be my favorite athelete of all time.

Funny Facts about Big Red!! In order to keep him happy they
had to bring a Rooster along to keep him company in his stall!
The Chicken was like a Pet to him..Also when he stepped on the
Track and the Crowed cheered he would stand tall puff out his
chest and strut!! If he could have signed autographs he would
have!! :lol: Unfortunately for racing Fans he never was able to pass
on his genes of greatness to any of his offspring.. :(

Love the part where that guy said ...

"If Secretariat were human he would have been a real SOB ... he was arrogant ... he was the heavyweight champ and he knew it"
