Secretariat

from East Meadow, New York
I was 16 in 1972-73 when I saw Big Red race in person in all his Aqueduct, Saratoga, and Belmont appearances, (including his stakes win!) I always wondered why they had never made a movie about him! Then I thought it was just as well that they did'nt, because they could never really capture his aura or his presence or his performances on screen! They certaintly could never ever get a horse to run like him,(no horse before or after has ever even come close!) I'm glad they waited till now to make it and I'm glad it was Disney to make it happen! Let's be realistic though! Nothing that man can make, can ever come close to a miracle! That is exactly what Secretariat, "the horse", was, a miracle! A perfect horse carved into life by the hand of God! Anyone whose ever seen him race knows that it's true! He was a special being sent to us from above to let us all know what perfect is like! No movie could really ever capture that! This movie does come as close to giving or reminding us of that special time when we were blessed to witness a miracle that wore a red coat, stood 16.2 hands, weighed 1,100 lbs., had 3 white stockings, a star with a stripe and a love to run faster than any horse that has ever lived! I know I was blessed to see him!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
