God, I cry every time I see the replay of that; for some reason that was a special, lasting moment of my childhood. I loved that horse.

It was way cool. Exactly 25 years since the previous Triple Crown win.

I just love that horse. There is a Secretariat.com website ~ pictures and history and a TWO HOUR DVD ~ that got me all weepy this morning. I want this.
