The Greatest Racehorse in History

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

SECRETARIAT - the greatest racehorse in history ruled the sport world in 1972 and 1973 and holds the unbeatable record of 37 years at the Belmont Stakes having won with 31 lengths.  And that win is still unheard of today.  Secretariat's phenomenal career followed another mythically great racer, Seabiscuit, who bolstered the spirit and hope of Americans during the Great Depression.



In 2010 the wonderful and beautiful Diane Lane played the racing phenom's owner Penny Chenery, a woman of unmatched courage of faith, with costars John Malkovich as trainer Lucien Laurin and Nelson Ellis who played the great groomer of superstar racehorses Eddie Sweat - Nelson currently plays the singularly entertaining role of Lafayette on HBOs True Blood.  Not to be left out, Secretariat's sterling rider Ron Turcotte.  Anyone or anything in the periphery of this great specimen is and will alwys be great themselves.  To the legacy of a tremendous animal ... never forgotten.  And of course I love all my animals unreservedly.
