The ultimate horse - Works in Progress Magazine
- In June 1973, chestnut colt Secretariat ran the Belmont Stakes so fast that no horse has matched him since.
- In less than two and a half minutes, Secretariat flew along the track, finally pulling away to win by 31 lengths, nearly three quarters of a football field.
- The other horses were so far behind they weren’t even in the television frame.
