So much has been written about the Belmont that even his victory in the Kentucky Derby is almost looked on as an afterthought. A full field of 13 horses to work through...from behind as Secretariat almost always started slow and steady, getting his feet under him and his stride set. He finished with an unimaginable and unmatchable burst of speed and power - 1:59.4 - of course still the record today and left the crowd awestruck that this horse could come from behind and finish the 1 1/4 in under two minutes.
