Happy Birthday, Big Red! 

Secretariat, the greatest racehorse known to man, was born 43 years ago today. 

Every horse is good for something…you don’t throw a whole life away just ‘cause it’s banged up a bit.

Happy birthday to the greatest horse to ever live, Secretariat. God’s horse was born 42 years ago today.

Happy birthday, Big Red.

Let him run his own race.

Let him run his own race.

Why does this not look right to me…oh, that’s right, because Secretariat is the best US racehorse of the 20th century.

“More than three thousand years ago a man named Job complained to God about all his troubles and the Bible tells us that God answered. Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. “
