This happened today... 53 years ago. "Secretariat is moving like a tremendous machine! " ~ Chic Anderson
"He was a machine. You put him in the computer and the machine just started smoking." ~ Dr. George Pratt, MIT professor and a pioneer in equine biomechanics.
#Secretariat #BelmontStakes
Today in 1973, the greatest horse race in history was run.
Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to become the Triple Crown winner and set a world record time that has never been beaten!

@cntymile handle up π
Handle for May buoyed by @churchilldowns, despite it losing Thurby. @mtrgaming had highest handle/race since Covid (& 2007 before that). Nice gains by other nighttime signals like @EVDRCH, @cntymile, @HollywoodPenn, & @prmracing as well

On this day in 1910, George Woolf was born in Cardston, Alberta.
As a jockey, he had 721 career wins, including when he rode Seabiscuit to victory over War Admiral in 1938.
In 1946, Woolf died during a race when he fell from his horse.
ALT George Woolf stands beside Seabiscuit at a stable doorway. Woolf wears a wide-brimmed hat, jacket, shirt, and trousers, with one hand on his hip. Seabiscuit stands behind a rope barrier with his head lowered near Woolfβs shoulder. The black-and-white photo shows wooden stable walls and straw on the floor.
