Secretariat
“Secretariat’ was such a magnificent animal,
unbelievably beautiful and powerful.
It’s always nice to see something that close to perfection,
a reason to celebrate.”
– John Malkovich / played Trainer Lucien Laurin in the film Secretariat
Secretariat (Movie Traiiler) 2010
Secretariat’s autopsy found that is heart weighed close to 22 pounds.
The average Thoroughbred heart weighs 9 lbs.
That’s a lot of heart.
Beautiful horse, Secretariat. What a shame Chrome didn’t win the other day, what a dramatic story.
I don’t know the back story on Chrome (have to check that out). I always root for another Triple Crown though.
Obviously a very difficult thing to do.
Not really a horse racing fan, but this was truly remarkable.
I remember Secretariat. The real one, though the movie was good too. He was something else. Something you couldn’t invent because truth is sometimes better than fiction.
