A most impressive sporting moment

I am not a horse racing fan. I do not follow the sport at all. However, back in 1973 I got caught up in the excitement over Secretariat, arguably the greatest horse ever. His win in the Belmont Stakes, the final of the Triple Crown, was one of the most impressive things I have seen. He won by 31 lengths! That is the record margin in the race. The picture below will give you some idea of just how dominating his performance was. I got to watch it live on television, and I can tell you it was a memorable sporting moment.  Here is a LINK to a video of the race.
