Where were you when Secretariat won the Belmont? Sadly for me, I was a little more then 15 years from being born (my birthday is June 22). My mom apperently was with her brother (who has passed away since) at Belmont to see Secretariat run. I didn't know this until after the movie which I did a review of last year. For now, lets enjoy his complete and other dominance of these horses which included Sham who finished second to him in all three races.
My Belmont predictions will be coming tomorrow.
Secretariat's Triple Crown is one of my earliest racing memories. I was 7 and horse crazy. Living in NYC, my main contact with horses was the Saturday races from Belmont/Aqueduct broadcast on one of our local channels. Seattle Slew was a bigger favorite because I remember it better, but Secretariat was my first.
