SECRETARIAT: Preakness - Run Free [03:05]
Thanks to Ron Turcotte's masterpiece ride here, we truly get to see the greatness of SECRETARIAT! Mr. Turcotte knew he was sitting on a powerhouse, he knew the horses on the lead were trying to slow the pace around the first turn, he knew that Big Red was also well within himself as the horse was telling him, "Let's roll!" Mr. Turcotte eased SECRETARIAT to the outside and the rest is history. 1973 Preakness in record time with a hand ride and making a move around the first turn. Greatness!!!
