People that weren't even racing fans were enamored with Secretariat. I was 12 when Big Red won the Triple Crown, my grandma got me to watch the races. I had no idea watching the Belmont a horse was not supposed to go head and head in 1:09 and change and keep going for 1 1/2 miles. I don't see how that isn't the greatest race a horse has ever ran.
