“He’s moving like a tremendous machine”
absolutely the greatest race call ever...Chic Anderson’s voice was steadily rising...sensing what was happening..but also, he didn’t scream at the top of his lungs at the end....the best.
Read or heard an interview with Turcotte some years ago.
As Secretariat entered the final Belmont home stretch, Turcotte said he looked back to see how close the other horses were and was surprised not to see any, They were all still too far back around the final curve to be in view. I think either in the old films or maybe the movie you can see him glance back.
