I would give anything to have known anyone who knew Secretariat. What it was like to be so close to perfection.
As a native born country boy brought up in horse racing , the finest compliment I can ever give anyone is to say they were a good horseman - Mr. Eddie Sweat , you were a good horseman
What a lovely man Mr. Sweat must have been. The book “The Horse God Built” is a beautiful tribute to horses and their people and in particular it’s a tribute to the bond between Mr. Sweat and Secretariat. A wonderful book.
I know Eddie Schwartz sister her name is Geraldine she lives in Florida and I'm always communicating with her either by letter or calling her she is such a sweetheart Eddie was not treated right he is the reason that Secretariat was so successful he was the one that slept with that horse groomed that horse fed that horse and love that horse more than anyone else it is such an honor to know Geraldine and still be able to communicate with her God bless you Geraldine Bob Welch
It broke my heart to read that Eddie Sweat died a pauper after having worked so hard.
If you look at Secretariat's two year old win pictures, you'll see a different groom. Then, he would have been with the three year old, Riva. You can't be two places at once.
Clock the arms on Eddie. he almost as muscular as Big Red.. Wonderful quite gentle man with very special hands.. He read horses body language and somehow connected with them mentally.. If the term horse whisperer was coined for anyone its Eddie Great to see history looking back kindly on its man who had more to do with Big Reds success than anyone. I dont know much about his later life but always hope some of the wealth generated by this monster horse found its way to this loyal and unique man ..RIP Eddie
There is a wonderful book “The Horse that God Built”. Most of the story, other than the races, is about the bond between Big Red and Eddie. I recommend it.
I always admired watching Eddie with Secretariat. They were so in tune. Best friends act like that. It's an absolute pleasure to watch these clips. There will never be another Secretariat nor will there ever be another Eddie Sweat. May you both rest in peace
He never called the horse secretariat! He called him Big Red! He loved that horse and the horse loved him❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know a lot about Eddie Sweat.
I regret that he worked so hard and died destitute. I don’t know the reasons but it was hurtful to read.
Thank you Eddie.
Muito linda homenagem
Thanks Eddie for helping make Big Red the greatest race horse in history! They should have had your bronz bust outside of the Belmont race track along with your best friend!
He was a great groom
I got to know "shorty" when I was assistant trainer to Richard Destasio and he worked for us in the late 80's. A true gentleman and a terrific horseman.
I never knew this story. Wow!
ironic that a horse with such wonderful feet, died from complications of laminitis....
Eddie eas vital fir Secretariat to be the winner he was. No question this man had the velvet touch with horses. ❤
One of the most awesome grooms in history. Everybody gives the trainer all the credit, but it's the grooms that keep em right. Great groom keeps great horses great.
I've always wondered what it would be like to visit Mr Sweat and watch him take care of horses and listen to his wisdom.
Eddie Sweat was to Secretariat like Tom Smith was to Seabiscuit. 24/7/365 loving care and totally best friends. Both men knew what their equine buddies were all about 100%. Both horses tended to be moody and not friendly with everybody other than their special caregivers.
Secretariat was lucky to have Eddie.... i wish Eddie stayed with him at Claiborne when he retired ( the horse )
I am sitting here at Claiborne Farm right now !!! Waiting for my tour
Eddie would of checked Secretariat's hooves and maybe could of saved him from all the hurt . Who knows? RIP Eddie and Secretariat.
Eddie Sweat spent more time with Secretariat than any human ever did. Penny Chenery trusted Eddie 100% 24/7/365.
The groom is like the horse’s parent and the trainer is the school teacher. Any superb jockey can successfully ride a well-trained, healthy, motivated horse - but still, let’s not forget Turcotte, who had the courage to let Big Red stretch out and run for that Triple Crown in his own way, without interference. Horse watched the movements of the competition from behind, and then made his move. The acceleration and stamina in the Belmont Stakes gives me chills every time!
I heard an interview with Turcotte. In the Belmont he basically did nothing but ride. I believe his quote was "Big Red was out to destroy the field that day".
@@michaelmiller5877 oh I love your comment!! Gave me chills. I watch all of the Triple for that year, but watch Belmont every time I want a lift. After all of this time, I still remember it like it happened recently
I still get chills, watching that race!!. 😂😮❤😊 2023
@@risingphoenix8072 same here. I was years old at the time and still remember like it was yesterday.
Both you and Secretariat got very lucky....you are both winners
Thank you for your service Eddie. You were very special.
I can’t think of Secretariat without thinking of Eddie….and Charley, Penny, Ronnie, Lucien and Jim Gaffney…people forget Jim too. He was very important in the beginning, helping to break Secretariat of some bad habits. He was let go abruptly when he was no longer needed. It’s all in Bill Nack’s book, the Making of a Champion……which every Secretariat fan should read.
Lauren Urban, Lucien was afraid of Secretariat. Ronnie Turcotte always let Secretariat do his own thing 100%. No whip ever needed. At the Belmont, Ronnie has often said, all he did was hold on and ride. Secretariat did everything else.
Thank you for pointing him out and giving tribute to the man that spent the most time with the greatest horse in the world
Thank you for giving such care to Secretariat. I know you loved him and that he felt that love and he worked for people that loved him, and who he loved. Both Riva Ridge and Secretariat were very lucky to have you as their groom and friend. I always wished that you had stayed with them both.
I had the privilege of working with "Shorty", as Eddie Sweat was called, and he was true perfection. If ever there was a "horse whisperer" that was Shorty. With a soft-spoken, kind demeanor, Shorty was always cool, calm and collected. A true horseman whom I'll always think of fondly.💖 RIP Shorty
Thank You for the memory of Shorty and Red! I just knew that he had a lot to do with Reds success! 🐎🙋🏾💞
You are so LUCKY thank you for sharing ☺️
What a great memory you have shared. I always weep when I see that photo of Eddie from the back when he was done dropping Secretariat and Riva off at Claiborne farm and was obviously crying. I so wished he had taken the offer from Seth Hancock and stayed with those horses in their new home. Thank you.
Secretariat was lucky to have a groom, like Eddie, who took such good care of him
Lucien Lauren's most trusted groom. As much as Secretariat's success was owing to his innate talent, it was also because he had the devoted care and attention of Eddie Sweat.
Thank you, Eddie Sweat, for what you did for Secretariat.
Perhaps the unsung hero of it all. Much like Harbut with Man O War. RIP Eddie
