1973: Remember the day that Secretariat was the world's favorite horse?

On this day in 1973, Secretariat captivated the world's attention by winning the Triple Crown in absolutely spectacular fashion.

I can not think of another event like it.  

Perhaps, the US beating the USSR in hockey in the 1980 Winter Olympics is a close second.

Secretariat was just an amazing horse.  He was clearly the favorite to win the Belmont and Triple Crown but no one expected a race like this.

I was very lucky to watch this race on TV.
