It was before my time. I was a two year old “mush head” when this race happened.
What a horse Secretariat was and what an amazing race he ran at the Belmont.
Completely burned out Sham early, Sham wanted to keep pace but couldn’t, then Secretariat just maintained the jets.
Poor Sham. Sham was running at a world record pace and then Secretariat kicked it into high gear.
