Secretariat needs no introduction. The images of his glowing copper form streaking past the Belmont Stakes' finish line, thereby winning the Triple Crown, are forever burnished in our collective minds.
I've parsed through countless (it seems) clips, articles and websites covering Secretariat. Here is a selection of my favorites. Enjoy!
