She called him "Big Red." Seems as though I remember that when he went to stud syndicate for $6M, that was the highest stud ever at the time. And what a horse.
I've only been to one Kentucky Derby in my life - and that was the one Secretariat won in 1973. Television never did that horse justice. His finishing kick would give ANYONE goosebumps.
I had all of the princely sum of $20 on him to win. He went off as such a fave that I barely got my twenty back.
