Count Fleet was every bit as dominant in his 3rd yr as was Secretariat. He was the 6th Triple Crown winner, taking the Derby by 3, Preakness by 8 and Belmont by 25 lengths. In between the Preakness & Belmont, he also won the Withers Stakes by 5 lengths.

And some of us remember that Citation was basically invincible, and easily dominating four-year olds, as a young three year old BEFORE the Derby, and didn't even race at all at four in 1949 due to injury/illness. When he came back in 1950, he wasn't at the condition he had been in before, and was only back to cross the million mark in earnings.

Recency bias, and the state of racing at the time really clouds this argument. Man 'O War never raced the TC, but he destroyed Sir Barton. Considering the steel shoes, slower tracks, and racing multiple times a week, imo, the mighty Man 'O War stands alone. Though doubtless Secretariat, the other "Big Red" was an amazing race horse. Seattle Slew also gets slept on, as does Count Fleet and Whirlaway.

Steve Veasey Probably the best discussion I've seen of the technical issues involved in the change of Secretariat's official Preakness time has been Victor Mather's June 21, 2012 column for The New York Times, "It’s Secretariat, Faster Today Than in 1973." Your suggestion would not work for races recorded on film in pre-videotape days. Videotape was relatively new in '73. Its timing is perfectly uniform at 29.97 frames per second. The suggestion is additionally unnecessary in any race in which hand-held and electronic timers are in close agreement and backing each other up. But if an important record were in question again, and there was such a glaring discrepancy between the electronic timer and various human clockers, I dare say the authorities would again turn to videotape analysis-- and in a much more timely (truly, no pun intended) manner, now that the unvarying nature of videotape is understand by racing authorities. It was known from immediately after the '73 Preakness something was screwed up, because the two Racing Form clockers had Secretariat *so* much faster (1:53 2/5) than the electronic timer (1:55). CBS Sports videotape a few days later showed Sec going faster than Canonero II. The stewards' decision to go with Pimlico's official and very poorly positioned hand-held clocker (1:54 2/5) was a compromise allowed by the rules of the time. I believe the Racing Form never did accept the 1:54 2/5, either using their own faster time, or putting an asterisk by the official time. The change by the MD Racing Commission was a matter of their rules catching up to modern technology.

marysueeasteregg Thanks for that information, I am actually just watching a documentary about Citation...ran 20 times as a 3 year old, winning 19. That is obviously remarkable but again I wonder what the quality of the competition was like? I know 'You can only beat what they put up against you' but in horse racing if you get two mediocre crops of yearlings in a row it has a knock on effect on the quality of competition for five or six years,,,

I owned the videotape and I watched it every spring annually. Thank you for posting this video. Alydar was my favorite horse. He deserved a better fate both in 1978 and 1990. It was so poignant when they showed you these champions final resting place . Plus the standing starts, the brief history of each winner post triple crown. It’s the perfect documentary

This excellent 1988 documentary chronicles every triple crown race, for each winner, from Sir Barton (1919: the first) to Affirmed (1978). What makes it such an important historical production is the contemporaneous footage of Secretariat and Seattle Slew: the horses are standing near narrator Jim McKay as he begins their respective segments! The great horse Alydar also appears with McKay when he begins the segment that focuses on triple crown winner Affirmed, which is a touching and beautiful moment given the terrible and tragic circumstances involving Alydar that occurred two years later. Other amazing horses who were not triple crown winners (e.g., Seabiscuit) also appear in this documentary. This video is well worth watching for all horse racing fans and historians.

If anyone ever asks me what was the most perfect athletic performance of all time, I'll never hesitate to say, "Secretariat, Belmont Stakes, 1973".

Man O War produced many great progeny during his breeding days! His line produced many great race horses. Secretariat was one of a kind and therefore there will never be another!! His heart was twice the size of other race horses which was found when he died. I rode a granddaughter of Seabiscuit at a riding stable when I was a very young girl!

Sir Barton is so underrated. He was a good racehorse and his career is actually very impressive. People often forget that he ran and beat many of the greatest horses in the country at the time and set multiple speed records while carrying heavy weights. Sir Barton was also in alot of pain, his hooves were so thin that he often threw shoes during races. Almost every race he threw at least one shoe, some races including the one with Man o War he threw all 4 shoes.

Wonderful tribute to the world of racing.

Citation's career is comparable to Secretariat's. Citations 2 and 3 year old seasons were without a doubt the greatest in American history, if not world history. In the span of that time he won 27 of 29 starts, and although his winning streak is surpassed it remains arguably the greatest of all time. During that time he won at every distance, at 10 different tracks, in 7 different states, traveling by dusty trucks and sweltering trains. We won almost all of his races held back by 66 lengths, set 4 track records, 1 world record, swept the triple crown by 17 lengths, beat the best stayers and sprinters in the country, beat 4 year olds before he even ran in the triple crown. He often raced days after winning a different race. His later seasons often tarnish his nearly perfect record. He was injured from running so much that he was off for a year. His owners were greedy and wanted him to be the first equine millionaire even though everyone knew he wasn't in a condition to race.

This is an awesome documentary!

Count fleet won by 25 in 1943.. could it ever be beaten? Exactly 30 years later, that question was answered by secretariat who won by 31.. now is 31 ever going to be beaten? No! Maybe yes if robot horses would be allowed to race the triple crown. otherwise, secretariat's belmont run in 73' will never be broken

Secretariat would always be the greatest story ever actually performed cerec Crown winner of the Belmont Stakes that's my horse

EXCITING AND INTRIGUING....IMPRESSIVE AND TOP NOTCH HISTORY

Until about 6 months ago I lived just around the corner from Churchill Downs. Many interesting local relics still exist in one form or another if you know where to to look...the"Whirlaway Inn" on 4th St., and the home on Central and 3rd of Roscoe "The Goose", jockey who rode Donerail, a 91-1 logshot to win the Derby in 1913 . This story is well-known but it turns out that Roscoe's older brother Carl rode a filly named Cream to victory in the Oaks, too. It seems that his mother and brother lived at the corner house as well. Kurtsinger rode the Admiral like they'd been created as brothers for one another. So did Red "Cougar" Pollard, Seabiscuit's jock...although he was in traction, barely able to move, at the time of the famous match race race. His dear friend and excellent jockey George Woolf was able to fill in, and Pollard gave him the key to breaking War Admiral's iron heart. Let both horses run eye-to-eye for a bit---a few seconds, a quarter of a minute---and after a while WA would *definitely* crack and fall back. The 'Biscuit was naughty and relished taking the spice out of all owner Charles Howard's horses, which was becoming a problem! However, he hardly needed instruction as it was child's play to run up to The Big Horse and pop out his micky. Dr. Riddle was heartbroken as he led his Mighty Atom off the track. But had he known, War Admiral would send us horses from the female line: Swaps and Seattle Slew (TCW '77). Affirmed and Alysheba both had WA in their lines, which for race lovers is an interesting bit of trivia. WA shows up in American Pharoah's pedigree 15 times.

Incidentally, there's something a lot of people don't remember about the War Admiral and Seabiscuit race/rivalry. For all the talk of Seabiscuit being "the common man's horse", the facts of the pedigree lay out a different reality: War Admiral was his step-uncle. And if War Admiral was his step-uncle, that means that his grandsire was...you know who. Seabiscuit's "interests", owner and trainer, were more common men, yes, and they certainly weren't Eastern Establishment. But make no mistake: Seabiscuit's blood was just as royal as The Admiral's, and they both did their immortal family proud in different ways.

There was a dramatic increase in the number of foals born after 1950. That is why the Triple Crown winners dried up after 1948 and Citation. Since then, one of the most difficult things to do in sports has been to win the Triple Crown. There is simply too much competition.

Thanks Jim Mackey

The Triple Crown is the most awesome of all sporting championships. I know nothing about the world series, but some team will win it. I don't even like football, but some team will win the superbowl. The Triple Crown is so magnificent that only these horses, plus American Pharoah and Justify, have done it. Racing is the greatest sport in the world! Yeah, I know I spelled "Pharoah" correctly and it should be spelled incorrectly. But I don't remember the exact mistake. I just remember the first Triple Crown in 37 years.

It’s really laughable!!!😂😂😂

So tell what horse is better than him since you are the expert. I mean blood horse does t know what they are talking about. Horse racing nation has him listed number 1 all time. So tell me which triple crown winner is better. I know I feel your pain you are one of those people who is sick and tired of hearing about him. I understand lil buddy!!!

Sorry to tell you that as the creator and producer of this show it won't be updated. Once the Triple Crown moved to NBC and Jim passed away it was obviously impossible

It's late May, 2020. I was a huge racing fan in the seventies, thrilled by Secretariat.

awesome video

Seabiscuit had afterburners and a supercharger under his saddles

Oh I agree. But Citation looked like a Great one. And now, of course.. American Pharaoh and Justify. Mama Mia.

Notice that Alydar is pointed out as would-have-been Triple Crown winner if he was not there at same time as Affirmed. There was 10-year gap already after Affirmed's Triple Crown, and it wasn't won again until June of this year.

I wish they would add American Pharaoh, and Justify

Gallant Fox and Omaha: Like Father Like Son

I have been slow on the uptake on this information but now that it did dawn on me, isn't Seattle Slew's bump into other horses a violation? Shouldn't he have been disqualified? He did that more than once during his racing career and was called a "Bully". Secretariat won, but was disqualified from the Champagne Stakes for bumping another horse. This seems a bit unfair. I know someone out there will call me "dense" for not understanding this one. But "bumping" should be a disqualification. Maybe they pick and choose who gets the violation???

redbrian3655 Thank you for your reply. I admire your ability to convey the answer clearly and coherently. Something which has eluded me so many times. Thank you again!

I love the horses names!!! I got drunk last night and just spent the whole night reading about old winning Kentucky Derby horses names, ya know like Money Moves or MidNight Bourbon

I dunno about Omaha being a failure at stud. He shows up in my horse's pedigree, most notably as an ancestor of Nijinsky, the British Triple Crown winner, who shows up in many good horse pedigrees. My horse was no great Champ, but was a winner of 9 out of 45 races, in the money a good 50% of his races, and won over 130k. I am sure Omaha had plenty of good foals in his later crops.

Need to remake this❤

Anyone know what the theme song for the intro is? It always gave me goosebumps. Especially at 00:57 . Jim McKay's narration is gold here too
