How fast was secretariat?

Answer 1

In the Belmont, In the stretch, Secretariat opened a 1/16 mile lead on the rest of the field. At the finish, he won by 31 length, the fastest 1½ miles on dirt in history, 2:24 flat, which broke the stakes record by more than 2 seconds. This works out to a speed of 37.5 mph for his entire performance. Secretariat's world record still stands, and in fact, no other horse has ever broken 2:25 for 1½ miles on dirt.

Answer 2

when secretariat ran in the 1973 belmont stakes, the last race in the triple crown, he ran his last half mile in 43 seconds flat and his second to last in i think 47 or 48 seconds. he won the race by a world record breaking 31 lengths, which is the distance from the nose to the end of the tailbone on a horse,and his record still stands unbroken as the fastest time in history...he was the first horse in more than 25 years! so you could say he was REALLY fast(you do the math but he was moving at about 40 mph!imagine having to ride that!!!)hope it helps and happy trails...

Answer 3

A time of 1 minute 59-2/5 seconds is what it took Secretariat [March 30, 1970 - October 4, 1989] to run the 1973 Kentucky Derby. From the first Derby of May 17, 1875 until the most recent of May 3, 2010, Secretariat's time has been the fastest and the best. The second fastest, second best time was the 1 minute 59-4/5 second win by Monarchos [b. 1998] in 2001.
