| | Road to the Triple Crown: History: Winners: Secretariat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Secretariat was something out of central casting, possessing good looks, personality, and racing ability beyond anything seen since Citation, at the least, and perhaps even as far back as Man o' War. |
 | | Secretariat added the Hopeful Stakes, Belmont Futurity, Laurel Futurity, and Garden State Stakes to his resume by the end of the year, his only loss coming on a disqualification in the Champagne Stakes when he ducked in at midstretch, bothering Stop the Music. |
 | | Secretariat and Sham both went after the lead at the start of the race and engaged in a six-furlong duel--clocked in 1:09-4/5--which would have seemed self-destructive if it had been any other horse but Secretariat. |
