The contest for greatest Flat horse of all time is, according to some historians, strictly a three-runner affair. Sea-Bird, who won the 1965 Derby on the bridle and then followed up by winning the Arc – Europe's other most iconic race – is an obvious pretender to the throne, while unbeaten modern-day champion Frankel needs little introduction to yo...
His date with destiny began at Churchill Downs on May 5, 1973 when the emerging darling of not just the sport, but an entire nation, lined up in the Kentucky Derby. "I took him back to last, but on the back side we picked up horses like they were standing still," Turcotte says. "He just kept going and going. Sham was in front of us when we turned f...
The 1973 Belmont Stakes is one of most famous races in US history as Secretariat and old rival Sham, who also finished second in the Preakness, duelled at a gut-busting gallop that only one of them could sustain. "Secretariat is widening now! He is moving like a tremendous machine!" racecaller Chic Anderson bellowed as the three-year-old romped to ...

Jun 5, 2023 · Known affectionately as “Big Red” due to his chestnut coat, Secretariat’s Belmont win is regarded by many as the greatest performance a racehorse has ever displayed. It also is listed as No. 13 on Sports Illustrated ’s 100 Greatest Moments in Sports History.
As the heavy wagering favorite, Secretariat paid only .40 to win the race but these uncashed pristine condition tickets are worth significantly more now, over a half century later. Each two-tone blue vintage ticket shows the entry information of date (Oct. 28, 1973), race (8th), and program number (12) for Secretariat.
Now a prized souvenir from the greatest horse in history, the ticket was worth a lot less if cashed back then--after his record setting victory in the Derby, this two dollar ticket paid a whopping $2.60. A rare piece of racing memorabilia, in its original pristine condition.
