Comments on: Secretariat sets Preakness Stakes record 39 years after running the race https://www.horseillustrated.com/horse-news-2012-06-21-secretariat-preakness-record/ Thu, 10 Jul 2025 12:02:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Mark https://www.horseillustrated.com/horse-news-2012-06-21-secretariat-preakness-record/#comment-325349 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:45:54 +0000 /horse-news/2012/06/21/secretariat-preakness-record.aspx#comment-325349 It was long overdue. I think Pimlico knew that Secretariat had broken the Preakness record for a long time, but pride and embarassment at having made such a grievous mistake was the reason why it took so long to redress the matter. Nevertheless, I am glad that the error was corrected and that Secretariat’s owner was alive to see justice done to such a great horse.

Secretariat is undoubtedly the greatest horse to ever race! It is thoroughly fitting to have the time finally corrected and the recognition given to this great equine athlete! I am so honored to have been alive and able to see this great horse run!

If you want a real thrill, watch him run in slo-mo – fluidly, easily, with no wasted motion, every muscle in harmony – the perfect running machine! He was a talent born, not made, for sure.

(no pun intended) Everyone knew the timer was incorrect and now it is finally official. The move Secretariat made on the first turn in the Preakness still amazes me to this day. He was an amazing horse!

He is truly one of the best race horses of all time! Kudos to Ms. Chenery for not giving up the fight! She is an amazing woman who saw something in this horse that no one else did! She and Secretariat deserve the record! He is definitely the horse the God built!!!!
