He ran so fast it was like he didn't want to be around other horses.
It was 45 years ago today that Secretariat won his Belmont. Here's my story from earlier this week on Chic Anderson, the man who called that race so perfectly and then died much too young. https://www.si.com/horse-racing/2018/06/04/belmont-stakes-remembering-secretariat-triple-crown-call-chic-anderson …pic.twitter.com/dFtNF4e6no

What a moment that was. I'm so old that I remember watching it.

Well said. I replay that often on YouTube . What a physically perfect horse with charisma to match. Loved him. Cried when he died.

Thank you, Mr. Leyden, for that profile of my dad, Chic Anderson. I was 12 when my dad died and it's heartwarming to know his legacy endures. Beautifully written.

Thank you, Mr. Layden, for the wonderful story on dad. I'm Sally's twin sister, Susan, one of the two youngest kids. My mom is right here with me and we read the story together. We are so grateful to you for writing such a thoughtful tribute.

Great photo to top off a great story. Ron Turcotte told me that he stood up and turned around in the home stretch because he couldn't hear hoof beats behind him. He thought maybe there had been a terrible accident. Thanks from another of the 5 Anderson kids.
