Had to be 30 lengths. Quite a few people had wrongly predicted that Secretariat wouldn't have the stamina to win the longer Belmont race. The part that amazed me most was seeing the horse turn his head and look back to see how far behind the other horses were. Secretariat's victory in this race was the second greatest sports feat of all time.
@Hoodat That had to be the most memorable ride of that jockey's career. He probably spent the rest of his life getting free drinks from that one.
And there can be NO doubt that horse had the heart of a warrior and a champion.
"Dumb animals" my big red ass!
BTW,I am not a sports fan,so tell me what sporting event beat that amazing run for the top spot.
