I happened upon this 13 minute video and found it very nicely done.

He was one hell of a horse. Do you ever wonder if back in the day before all the testing, that maybe he was hyped up on something? I mean, to win by 31 lengths is insane. It's like someone running the mile (human running the imperial mile) in 3 min, 20 seconds after it took half a century to break the 4.0 minute mile and then each time the record was broken it was by tiny increments and another 50 years to get the record down to 3 min, 44 seconds
I doubt he was drugged up, but man...31 lengths? :hmm:
Regardless...without a shred of doubt, the greatest race horse in history
Truly the greatest athlete of all time. I enjoyed this very much, especially when they touched on his personality and awareness. Sham may have gone down as the greatest if not for Secretariat. Maybe Secretariat pushed Sham to his best. Reminds me of some great generations of fighters, like the middleweights in Sugar Ray Robinson's era. Graziano, LaMotta, Basilio and Zale or the Joe Louis, Ali and Jack Johnson era.
