SECRETARIAT: THE GREATEST TRIPLE CROWN WINNER 19"x13" COMMEMORATIVE POSTER
Seldom does performance match expectation. Super Bowls are rarely super. Pay-per-view fights are hyped without money-back guarantees. And there's that old expression that applies so perfectly to horse racing: There's no such thing as a sure thing.
Then there was
Secretariat
at the
1973 Belmont Stakes
. He carried a lot more than jockey
Ron Turcotte
when he went to the gate a 1-to-10 favorite. He had the weight of Secretariat Mania on his back. The international buzz surrounding him was deafening. He was being counted on to win the race and become the first
Triple Crown
champion in 25 years -- the first of the television generation that had already put him on an unrealistic pedestal. Secretariat's response went beyond unreal.
He won by a jaw-dropping 31 lengths. His time of 2:24 for 1 1/2 miles set a world record many argue may never be broken. Secretariat became so popular, Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated featured the horse on the cover the same week. The William Morris Agency booked his appearances the way it would for a hot movie star. At the time, no movie star was as hot as "Big Red."
This graphic artwork features Secretariat and the other 12 horses who've won the Triple Crown of Horse Racing. This commemorative, full-color poster is printed on premium paper and measures 19 inches by 13 inches and would make a great gift or addition to any study or professional office.
