On DVD or VHS: The very FIRST documentary ever released on SECRETARIAT - a Timeless Classic! SECRETARIAT's Triple Crown races are showcased in this 1975 documentary chronicled by "The First Lady of Meadow Stable", PENNY TWEEDY; begins with SECRETARIAT's loss in the Wood Memorial and how the SECRETARIAT camp dealt with the pressures leading up to his relentless campaign to take the coveted crown. All three of SECRETARIAT's Triple Crown races are shown from start to finish, including a rare glimpse of Meadow Stable in Doswell, Virginia (" BIG RED's " birthplace) and also the birthplace of his media-darling owner, PENNY TWEEDY. This is the VERY FIRST and ORIGINAL documentary of SECRETARIAT produced hot on the heels of his Triple Crown victory so every member of the SECRETARIAT team looks fresh and youthful...still vibrant and jubilant from the outcome. This obscure feature is loaded with rare and invaluable footage not seen in any other documentary of SECRETARIAT and has been much overshadowed by its much more popular companion-feature, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF SECRETARIAT ...but unknown to most fans...this feature was released way in advance of the former - a true gem of a collector's piece for all SECRETARIAT fans desperately yearning for new footage or just anyone who's just discovering this legendary race horse for the first time. read more
