The Day Secretariat Won the Triple Crown
_By Rosemary Embrey_
In a thundering rush of power and grace
They came down the stretch in a furious race
Secretariat led the pack in flight,
His long, golden mane shining in the light.
With Eddie Sweat in the saddle,
Secretariat was unstoppable, invincible.
He danced across the turf,
A blur of speed and beauty.
The crowd roared with excitement
As Secretariat crossed the finish line,
A champion of champions,
A winner like no other.
He had won the Belmont Stakes,
And with that, the Triple Crown.
Secretariat had achieved what no other horse had done in over 25 years,
And he did it with style and grace.
He was the greatest of the great,
A legend in his own time,
A horse that would never be forgotten.
Eddie Sweat and Secretariat.
Together they made history,
Creating a moment that would live forever in the hearts of racing fans around the world.
