Thanks for sharing those Secretariat photos and your memories with us, Tim.

It's been said many times but yes, truly, Secretariat was the standard all thoroughbreds would be measured against.

I mentioned this often over the years about Secretariat but I was at the race on July 4, 1972 --on one of my first dates with the girl I'd eventually marry -- when Secretariat made his racing debut.

Of course, he wasn't Secretariat then but I do recall that race and wound wind up going to see him live in most of his races, missing just those out of town, and taking mrs. reckless with me, reminding her of our July 4th date at the track for many years after.
