Makes me sad that I will never see a horse like Secretariat run in my lifetime


I mean, unless you were old enough to see him, most likely nobody will ever see a horse like Secretariat run in their lifetime. I doubt there will ever be another horse like him ever again.

American Pharaoh, though not the horse Secretariat was, was a treasure to watch. Justify's triple crown was fun to watch and a great horse obviously, but didn't have quite the shine to it since American Pharoah had just won the triple crown a few years before.

Barbaro doesn't break down, there was no doubt in my mind he would've won the TC. He was an absolute monster, that was trained by a legit horseman. I still believe to this day the vet should've scratched him after breaking loose from the gate in the Preakness. Many rumors swirled that he injured himself

I was never old enough to see Secretariat, he died a year before I was born lol. Watching his sportscentury though was amazingly awe inspiring. He really was something else. The unfortunate thing was that the runner up Sham in all 3 races was a record setter himself and would have won a triple crown probably if he wasn't up again Secretariat.
