- Summary
- On October 28, 1973, one of the greatest race horses who ever lived ran his last race at Woodbine in Canada. This sentimental look at Secretariat (Big Red) combines on-camera comments by his fans, trainers, riders, exercise boys, and his proud owner, with motion pictures of that last race from beginning to end. Interesting details of training, comments about other horses in the race, the shock of losing Secretariat's jockey by suspension, and making the final decision whether or not to run this race are all ingredients which combine to reflect the suspense, drama and excitement generated by this great horse.
