Remembering Secretariat
1998 marks the 25th anniversary of thoroughbred racing’s Triple Crown feat by super horse Secretariat. In
1973, "Big Red" was a true champion, capturing wins in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes
and the Belmont Stakes. Only 11 colts have achieved horse racing’s most difficult feat, with
43 others just one win shy of the honor. Secretariat still holds the records at the Kentucky Derby
and Belmont Stakes, and a place in our memories.
He bounds from the earth;
When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk.
He trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it.
The basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes.
He's of the color of the nutmeg and of the heat of the ginger.
He is pure air and fire, and the dull elements
Of earth and water never appear in him,
But only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him...
His neigh is like the bidding of a monarch,
And his countenance enforces homage.
