Maybe some of you have already seen, but there are a couple of newer YouTube links up with the 1973 Belmont.

The 2nd video shows more of the post race commentary than I have ever seen before, complete with Ron Turcotte in full and proud glory. The video is 100% actual television coverage.


The first video is different fare. I'm normally not a bagpipe guy, but I will say this video uses them well. Kudos to the creator and assembler. The whole race is there, with a few nicely done scenes sewn in. Arguably campy, but anyone who saw the 1973 race real time should definitely watch.

Do me a favor and hang until near the end when Secretariat is shown in close up in the stretch strides. Tell me that doesn't bring goose bumps....


(If this belongs in a more apropos folder, of course put it there........:-).....)
