Those eloquent words were written by sports writer Charles Hatton describing the legacy of Super Horse Secretariat after his June 9, 1973 Belmont Stakes victory with Ron Turcotte aboard for his 2.24 record romp and Triple Crown win. Today is the 50 year mark of his Kentucky Derby win and a time to look back and enjoy it all again as all of it is on youTube to enjoy, and for those who do not know who Secretariat is, be sure to hallmark the words of MC Jack Whitaker on Belmont Day.
Also bear in mind that after the Preakness Victory on May 19, 1973, radio stations across our country presented the Edgar Winter Group masterpiece Frankenstein as the #1 song in the nation.
A subliminal theme for the Super Horse, perhaps.
Also that year take a look at the UK Super Horse " Red Rum " and his legacy as well.
