This horse was the GOAT of horse racing. Not only was he the Triple Crown winner in 1973, he holds the track record at Belmont, Churchill Downs and Pimlico that still stand 50 years later.
Secretariat holds the stakes record time for each of the three races. His time of 2:24 for 1+1⁄2 miles in the 1973 Belmont Stakes also set a world record that still stands. He won the Belmont to clinch the crown by an astounding 31 lengths!
He lived on for another 16 years after his Triple Crown, and sired over 650 offspring.
