    His name is literally in the pedigrees of thousands of racehorses today. I don't know why people persist in thinking he was any kind of "failure" as a sire.

      Because of the lack of racing success of his offspring. His daughters' sons' were good performers and sires, the rest didn't do anything. You can breed crap to crap and get crap. Just because it can be bred doesn't mean it should.

    His feats invigorated Horse Racing once again. I vividly remember that June day like it was yesterday. At the time as he approached the finish line I began to cry inexplicably. It was years later when places like UA-cam replayed all his Triple Crown races that I realized I wasn't the only one and still get emotional watching to this day. Woody Broun once said when you are in the presence of something marvelous you need to take away a souvenir so part of Secretariat's glory is always with you." These videos with all the great testimonials help me remember that memorable spring in 1973.

    Back around 35 years ago I had the pleasure of working with one of his babies. She was this fat little thing but oh she was the spitting image of him in color and markings. She never was any good with the racing but I always wondered how she did as a broodmare. His daughters were known to be excellent broodmares. What a lifetime ago that was.

    Even through he was Undesputed the Greatest Thoroughbred race horse of all time…..Secretariat never produced himself…… and it’s not because he wasn’t a good breeder it’s because His breeders never found his nich…. And thats really unfortunate….. He should have had a legacy of champions to carry on his name….. There will never be another Secreteriat…… !

      I would argue Bold Ruler was the greatest thoroughbred sire of all time. He lived to be only 17, but his influence was enormous and remains hugely influential today, especially through the A.P. Indy line. That horse, of course, was a son of Seattle Slew and a grandson of Secretariat. Bold Ruler through and through. Dust Commander, son of Bold Commander, a son of Bold Ruler, won the 1970 Kentucky Derby, thus beginning the domination of the Bold Ruler line during that decade.

      Secretariat, has had several offspring, that have won several prominent races, and titles. I know that he had a daughter named, Lady Secret, and I think that she won "Horse Of The Year" honors, twice, just like her father.🤗 Secretariat, also, won "Horse Of The Year," in 1972, and 1973. Also, there was an offspring of, Secretariat, named General Assembly, who won some prominent races, as well. The problem is, is that NO horse, can ever duplicate Secretariat. Secretariat, was (1) in a Million!😍
      Also, regarding offspring, the horse, Tapit, has a LOT of horses, that are related to him, that have won a lot of races.

    I don’t think enough attention is paid to the mare who gives 50% of the genetic material. He threw a great daughters continually. You wouldn’t have great sires if you didn’t have great mares. Look at somethingroyal. Secretariat got his stamina from his mama.

    • @GrainneDhu
      @GrainneDhu Рік тому +5

      Actually, the dam contributes just over 50% of the DNA to the foal because each foal gets 100% of their mitochondrial DNA from the dam. That might not seem all that significant until you realise that mitochondria are what power the cells--so a mare whose mitochondrial DNA has the genetics for faster cellular metabolism of energy gives all her foals an edge when it comes to speed, endurance and recovery.

    • @samyoung3592

      @@samyoung3592 Absolutely!
      Horses only have about 250 mitochondrial DNA genes, which seems tiny in comparison to the close to 3 billion base pairs that make up their entire genome but those 250 genes have a disproportionate effect on the horse.
      Obviously Secretariat was not passing along his mitochondrial DNA but he consistently sired great broodmares. A good part of it was because his X chromosome carried the gene for the unusually large but not cardiopathic heart.

      Claiborne Farm killed the greatest horse in racing. The HANCOCK family are jokes. My family owned two of the only fillies, great daughter and daughter of my great Aunt's beloved horse.....and she, LUCIEN LAUREN, RON TURCOTTE and Ed Sweat😅 groom all along with syndicate members were NOT allowed to see him the first time he foundered, nor were any of SECRETARIAT'S real family told until he had been foundered again because he was just a tourist attraction. By then he could barely walk. And people wonder and think he was treated well after he retired..........now CLAIBORNE FARM has a gift shop because SECRETARIAT was syndicated there. All some worry about SECRETARIAT was was THE HANCOCK'S said he was not a great sire. What other stallion went on to sire two fillies, daughter and granddaughter, LADY'S SECRET & WINNING COLORS who both won the DERBY, and were loved until the day they died. That is proof of good semen. Racing business is in big trouble today with lousy horses with no real talent, who do not have the correct genetics. Great horses like BIG RED comes along once in a lifetime. If at all.
