I knew there was a reason I like Indy! I’m a hugh Seattle Slew fan. I loved that horse and the day he won the Triple Crown was one of the happiest days of my life. He may not have been pretty but he was special 💙🐴 and he was the only undefeated Triple Crown champion!!
I had a friend here in NM who trained a son of Slew. Great colt. I saw him win his first race. Loved that colt! I got lots of cuddling with him one summer.
PSA!!! Secretariat was faster than Seattle Slew, Man o' War, and Spectacular Bid. Last year marked 50 years since he set records in all 3 Triple Crown events. All 3 records still stand today. His son Risen Star won the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. At the time Risen Star won, his time in the Belmont was second only to his sire Secretariat. Risen Star's time is currently the 4th fastest Belmont of all time. Secretariat's grandson A.P. Indy (son of Seattle Slew) is tied for 2nd fastest currently, with Easy Goer also being second to Secretariat. Easy Goer resided in Secretariat famous Stall 1 at Claibourn after Secretariat passed on. Also remember that Secretariat ran a distant last in both the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness before circling the field and driving to the front in the middle of the track. He had to cover a lot more ground going 4 horses deep to set these records. In the Belmont, he took an early run to the front and set not only the track and Belmont Stakes record, but the US and World records for the 1 1/2 mile dirt distance. He unofficially set further distance records with Ron Turcotte standing in the irons to slow him down. One fact that people forget is that he set the Belmont Stakes record in 90 degree weather with 100% humidity and he was only lightly sweating where the leather touched him. 1 hour after the Belmont, there was a ground shaking thunderstorm, punctuating the significant day. 2MM thoroughbreds have been born since Secretariat raced and none have been able to beat his times or his beauty. On FB someone has cloned your account and are using your videos. I tagged you in the video.
@@daemonember Secretariat did in fact have the largest heart every found in any horse of any breed. Sham, his 1st cousin, had the second largest at 18 pounds. Secretariat's heart was about 2.5 times larger than the average TB heart and 30% larger than a draft horse heart. He also had super-sized lungs to help feed that heart. His girth strap had to be custom made, his chest was larger than draft horses. An additional advantage was he was left footed on a left turn track system. So, like in the Preakness, he could speed up on tight turns while other horses are slowing down for the turns. He also had a short back and was short coupled, so he could really get his back legs under him and propel himself powerfully forward with his massive hind quarters. The Bold Ruler sloped coup also added to his speed in that his hind legs could get further under him for more thrust potential. Also, his hind legs worked more in tandem than most horses, increasing his power. I see this in other top runners like Arrogate and Flightline (who is a double Secretariat descendant). One additional advantage is that Secretariat had the very rare double suspension transverse gate. He had 2 flight phases instead of one and horses are fastest in the air. So, he ran more like a cheetah than a horse, Justify (another double Secretariat descendant) had this same gait. Secretariat also dropped down when he was looking for speed. He became a guided missile. Only the legs and head moved. His body was stationary. Grandson A.P. Indy inherited this drop-down style of running.
@@thelmadickinson6811 I didn't go to the Derby and Oaks last year. I cannot watch real time races since watching the Ruffian/Foolish Pleasure match race on TV as a kid. I did go to Kentucky in November 2023 for the Secretariat Park Dedication. I got to talk to the 2 artists and the daughter of Secretariat's owner and show her my mare (double descendant), who looks a lot like him, color, 3 socks, round rump. Got to visit all of the major stables that I had time for. Got to pet Flightline, 2022 World's Best Racehorse and his super sire Tapit. I am not sure why both barns singled me out to pet both horses, but I got a great picture of Tapit giving me the stink eye when I stopped petting him. My own mare is in foal to Tonalist, a son of Tapit and 2014 Belmont Stake winner.
Secretariat raced from 1972-73, while Seattle Slew competed from 1976-78. Secretariat won 16 of 21 starts, finishing second three times, third once and fourth once. Seattle Slew won 14 of 17 with a pair of seconds and a fourth. But Secretariat, was so dang fast!!
I knew nothing about horses, except for having an admiration from a distance and I have learned so much since subbing. On another note, Katie is probably one of the most beautiful women in the world!
Hi again KATIE Hang in there! Things are coming together and besides you love every single second no matter. It's what you do and you're super good at it. Especially wonderful when you get those gorgeous ones but they're all God's extra special gifts to us horse lovers... Can hardly wait! Thx a bunch for sharing as always.
Sound like us waiting on my so sons horse to finally hatch lol she did last week beautiful little filly, I can hardly wait for your 2 to hatch also. Crazy, and the race is on. lol tfs ❤😊
Just so you know... Secretariat remains the fastest horse in history. Bear with me, though i like ve them, I know nothing about breeding horses (lions are a different story!). If Gracie's test showed everything is thankfully fine, could there have been an issue with Beyonce's embryo that caused Seven's early delivery? I know she's had many babies before, but I couldn't help wondering.
@@Sandstorm89483 I think it depends on how you look at it. She reached a higher speed at one point during a race but wasn’t able to maintain it. Secretariat still holds the world record for 1 1/2 miles on a dirt track. So even though she clocked a higher speed during a stretch, she still would have lost to him in the end.
@@Sandstorm89483 She achieved the fastest speed for a TB but it was a short distance. She is still alive, but we don't hear much about her. I have to wonder if something was involved. More research is required. The classis are much longer races, and they are not usually meant to be sprinted. Secretariat sped up in each 1/4 mile in the Derby and ran each 1/4 faster than the previous quarter. This NEVER happens with horses. They slow down at the end, not speed up. Additionally, in the Belmont, his half mile time was even faster than his Derby split. This also never happens at the Belmont distance. Had he used his 3-year-old speed in a short race, his speed might have been blistering. Quarter horses have faster initial speed to TBs, but like the name, that speed is only good for 1/4 mile. Secretariat, sat on the back of the starting gate and moseyed out of the gate and determined his race from there.
I know one horse that had twins at the college barn I worked at, both survived birthing but one passed away after a while (some matter of weeks I think, but it was a long time ago). The other was fine though and so was mom, thank goodness. It was a big deal for a hot minute though and a lot of the professors were peacocking around about it.
You should put a paper towel rack up in that room where you check the horses and then you can just rip off some paper towel or get one of those boxes like they have at a gas station that you put in loose paper towels
Jan 23rd baby! 01/23/25! (My bday 😅), but hoping one of them has theirs on that date. Otherwise, I can't wait to see all the babies next year as well!! Come on Indy and Karen! We are impatiently waiting ❤😂
By the time you're confirming pregnancy it's too late to do embryo transfer. You also can't flush just one so if you'd been planning embryo transfer and flushed 2 embryos you'd need 2 recip mares ready for embryos.
@@samiam7819I wanna add to this, so I hope you don’t mind ☺️. When doing an embryo transfer, if there’s twins you can’t flush just one, or put one back in the mare. You have to have 2 recips synced up.
Katie, I always see the Walking Horse Statue near your chairs in the barn. Did your family every get into Walkers? We were back in the day. Dad showed them in Tennessee several times and completed against (I think) Tammy Wynette. His gelding was the Ace of Spades. Beautiful black walking horse. I never showed Walkers unless he was talking a sale and he stick me in the horse to show a possible client. My favorites were our quarter horses, saddlebreds, and Paso Finos. Didn't enjoy dressage or pleasure for me. Was a barrel racer mostly.
Girl, you need to have a large laminated calendar in your barns and start a color code like who's been bred and who is confirmed and which cycle they're at etc? I wish I could afford to gift you that. Maybe somebody else read this and gift to you.❤❤
Her vet reminds me of my canine/feline vet (I have multiple vets), with the way he dresses, talks, and even acts. Only difference is their names, my vet is Dr Bryce vs Dr Matt lol
I need to hang around with Nate when he goes to visit with the giraffes 🦒 that would be such an education for me!! Not that I don’t know a lot already lol
I used to live in a neighborhood where all the streets were named after famous race horses. The only way I know that secretariat was faster is because I had to watch the movie named after the street in my neighborhood. 😂😂😂
Seattle slew was the only horse that had won the triple crown undefeated so he had never lost a race before he won the triple crown until 2018 when justify did it also so he was a pretty awesome horse
As far as I remember Secretariat still has the fastest time. Slew was the first triple crown winner after Secretariat. So from ‘73 to ‘77 there were none.
The amount of ads for pregnancy tests I got on this breeding video was honestly quite funny😂not that I’ll ever need them speaking as a lesbian that wants to adopt😝
I have been watching since 2020, I remember when Ethel had Patrick and what happened. Did you make a post why Ethel is no longer having her own babies? My favorites are Turdy and Indy.
Both Slew and Secretariat were triple crown winners. But Secretariat dang near broke the speed of sound at the Preakness.
Secretariat was also Slew’s great great grand sire or some type of grandpappy on his sire’s side
Nobody has broken his record time in the Preakness...ever!
He did it with swagger. Laid on the back of the gate, took off quite slow, then hit the turbo and he was out of sight
I get chills every time I watch it! 🥹
He was a tremendous machine! I had newspaper photos of him taped to my bedroom wall.
I have a conspiracy theory, Karen is plotting to have her baby the same time as Indy, because she wants to see you running around like crazy 😂
Lmbo
100 💯 for sure
And they'll make it april 1st just because they can 😅
Karen is either waiting for Easter or Christmas to have her baby. ❤🐴🐎
April fools
@@sweeney.familyYES THATS IT
Ikr
Karen's baby is gonna be full grown
My money's on Christmas 😂
You are damn lucky, Katie, to have a gorgeous vet. 😍 ❤. He is something else.
Congratulations on 2 more new babies coming.
yum yum 😂
I have to say ginger is a gorgeous mare! And Freddie is adorable.
I've had 3 babies-- I will NEVER be able to watch these koochie procedures without flinching.
You need a big white board 😂. Maybe not for you but for all of us. You’re amazing and so funny Katie. ❤

Indy and Karen are waiting for either April Fool’s Day and/or the eclipse😂
We can all see that you are really excited… Slow down girl and take a breath 😂❤
We are all being excited with you !
Who agrees?
She's got that Mt Dew going! Zzzziinng!
I swear I think it's gonna be Indy!!! Karen is not in a hurry to have that baby anytime soon.... Katie your 😎 awesome!!!!!
I love the conversations and thought process included in this video. I love hearing what it takes to breed each horse! 😊
Secretariat raced from 1972-73, while Seattle Slew competed from 1976-78.
Secretariat won 16 of 21 starts, finishing second three times, third once and fourth once.
Seattle Slew won 14 of 17 with a pair of seconds and a fourth.
But Secretariat, was so dang fast!!
How many firsts?
@@rosemarygraham2815 first what?
The way your vet called you out recording him! 😅 hahahaha
Karen wants to speak to the manager before having her baby
❤😂😂😂
If Indy has her baby on April fools its registered name should be Seattle Fool!
RS Indy's Great Seattle Fool
RS Elegant Fool since Indy’s registered name is La India Elegant
I knew nothing about horses, except for having an admiration from a distance and I have learned so much since subbing. On another note, Katie is probably one of the most beautiful women in the world!
Love it when theres babies coming. ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
Hi again KATIE
Hang in there!
Things are coming together and besides you love every single second no matter. It's what you do and you're super good at it. Especially wonderful when you get those gorgeous ones but they're all God's extra special gifts to us horse lovers...
Can hardly wait! Thx a bunch for sharing as always.
Katie you really dislike sleep don’t your 😂 your convos with Dr Matthew are so fascinating!
Doctor was like here Abigail, I'm not hear to walk a mare, just check them
This year isn't quite over yet and I'm already SUPER excited for next year!
I think Dr Mathews needs ”the” UA-cam channel…. Day in the life of a horse vet
Oh my yes that would be great
I can’t wait to see both babies but I have a weird feeling Indy will go first!!❤❤❤
They both look so very tired! Breeding season is taking its toll!
Love all babies! 😊
Katie you have to take time for yourself and this is coming with love. Those babies need ya.
she said after indy and karen foal her and her husband are gonna take a 4 day long vacation
That’s awesome, my horses great great grandfather was Seattle Slew❤
I’m sure getting confused…I guess the important thing is Katie & Dr Matthew are straight! It’s so funny to watch them think out loud.
Dr. Matthew has jokes now, but we wouldn’t want him any other way. 😂
I think Dr Matthew is partial to Freddie since his dad stands with him ❤😊
Sound like us waiting on my so sons horse to finally hatch lol she did last week beautiful little filly, I can hardly wait for your 2 to hatch also. Crazy, and the race is on. lol tfs ❤😊
Katie, love these episodes. FRED❤ Absolutely love all the discussions between you and Dr. Matthew, it's all so fascinating.
I love these longer videos ❤ im so glad Gracie is okay ❤
Just so you know... Secretariat remains the fastest horse in history.

It seems there is no known reason why and they aren't concerned with a future foal.

Secretariat was faster. Now you can win at trivia.
In the Netherlands they use foal alert belts that go around their girth. No surgery necessary.
Howard James is a good shouting name when little Sir is being bad lol. x
😂 I'd have to have a spreadsheet to keep all of them straight. Your going to have babies everywhere.
love thev video so enjoy earning info seeing all the horses.
Winston in the background when ur talking about Gracie 😂😂😂
love you guys
I wish Karen would have this dang baby 😅❤
HELL YES FOAL ALERTS SAVE LIVES FOR SURE

I was so hoping for a mini baby...... Damn!
I swear Karen is waiting for Indy to have her foal so Karen can get alllll the attention when she has hers XD
We need your vet to do a youtube channel. Would love to see more of the work that his clinic does.
You should put a paper towel rack up in that room where you check the horses and then you can just rip off some paper towel or get one of those boxes like they have at a gas station that you put in loose paper towels
Look at you two sitting in the new chairs!!9
Love your content Katie! So informative and entertaining! From your neighbor in east tn! ❤
I love these longer videos
I wish we'd have had foal alters! Spent nights in the barn with the cordless phone. 😊
It's wild that the mares can be breed while they still have nursing foals
I suppose it’s a bit like women can get pregnant while they’re still nursing a baby/toddler
Indy is beautiful
Jan 23rd baby! 01/23/25! (My bday 😅), but hoping one of them has theirs on that date. Otherwise, I can't wait to see all the babies next year as well!! Come on Indy and Karen! We are impatiently waiting ❤😂
He needs a light back there - like a headlight!
Karen can't wait ❤❤
I would work for your vet for free just to look at him and listen to his voice
Cuties right….
Me too !!!
Me three!!!
Right
there’s just something about him.

Karen is waiting for April Fools Day.
I love this But I can not keep up!!!Thank you for sharing Katie. What is the sleep juice you give to your horses???

Such good news! And the warning sign... "if you die it's your own fault" lol
It's more like a challenge of whoever can keep em' in the longest, yeesh!
OMG I'm from Kentucky and yes they were both triple crown but Secretariat was faster😊
As far as I remember Secretariat still has the fastest time. Slew was the first triple crown winner after Secretariat. So from ‘73 to ‘77 there were none.
Slew was a great horse❤
Katie’s so exhausted the only thing keeping her going is that good ol Mountain Dew.
Again my I say u have a gorgeous vet
No sleep for you next foaling season katie and did i spot a winston sighting lol
So can you do a video on what time of year is good for horses to get pregnant and why that time is a good time of yr
The amount of ads for pregnancy tests I got on this breeding video was honestly quite funny😂not that I’ll ever need them speaking as a lesbian that wants to adopt😝
Girl you need to get some caffeinated herbal tea and the mushroom tea you would be amazed! So much energy
So cool
Is it only me or gives her nice vet some Mads Mikkelsen vibes 😂?
Karen and Indy are going to have their babies at the same time. Easter right in the middle of Easter dinner.
I have been watching since 2020, I remember when Ethel had Patrick and what happened. Did you make a post why Ethel is no longer having her own babies? My favorites are Turdy and Indy.
Love the video style!
Tell your vet that Secretariat was two fifths of a second faster than Seattle Slew
Going by their fastest recorded times anyway…
I just learned vets have the highest suicide rate of any profession right now. Thank you for the help doc!
Such an awesome video
