Horses - Secretariat: The Legacy
Introduction
This article delves into the remarkable legacy of Secretariat, one of the greatest horses in racing history. Known worldwide in the early 70s, Secretariat captured hearts and headlines across the globe.
Rise to Fame
By June 1973, Secretariat stood on the brink of history at the Belmont Stakes, aiming to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. His fame transcended horse racing; he graced the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated?"an unparalleled feat.
Unparalleled Praise
Writers struggled to capture what made Secretariat so extraordinary. Marvin Drager’s book, The Most Glorious Crown, compiles vivid accounts of his greatness. Time magazine's Pete Axthelm, despite never witnessing a race firsthand, wrote:
“Secretariat generates a crackling tension and excitement wherever he goes. Even in gray weather, his powerful build and radiant coat stand out. At rest, he is magnificent; when he accelerates, he delivers a breathtaking explosion of speed and power.”
Larry Merchant of the New York Post, noted for his sharp commentary, remarked:
“Secretariat is the kind of Big Horse that makes grown men weep, even hardened bettors. He embodies an unblemished blend of beauty and strength. Should he lose Belmont, the nation might turn sullen and mutinous.”
Media Sensation
The frenzy surrounding Secretariat was unprecedented in horse racing. When Funny Cide vied for the Triple Crown in 2003, the media whirlwind echoed Secretariat's era, recognizing the potential for history to repeat itself.
Conclusion
Secretariat's story is unique, unmatched by any other. While Funny Cide's tale of an underdog challenging giants created its own drama, Secretariat's legacy remains unparalleled. Both stories captivate, reminding us why moments of greatness draw us together.
