Secretariat: 1973 Belmont Stakes (NYRA video with Dave Johnson's call)
Certainly Secretariat's Belmont Stakes victory to sweep the Triple Crown in 1973 needs no introduction, but this recently uncovered video has its own historical significance. This is the actual NYRA video of the race, not the CBS camerawork. In what might arguably require a spoiler alert, Secretariat actually "runs off the screen" at about the eighth pole and the camera pans to the battle for second (Twice a Prince out-finishing My Gallant).
The famed call by Chic Anderson for CBS became part of the legend of Secretariat, but here, we can listen to Dave Johnson's on track call at Belmont Park that June afternoon. Times were much different for track announcers, and there is certainly less flair than the network television call.
Enjoy this interesting piece of racing history. If nothing else, it's an excuse to watch this magnificent performance once again.

Horse racing oddity: horse running in the wrong direction
Переглядів 30 тис.13 років тому
Things became very scary at Louisiana Downs on September 4, 2011, when Secretfly unseated his rider at the start of the ninth race. Thankfully no horse or rider was hurt. The head-on replay follows at 2:40, and offers a much better look at what happened. Following a stewards inquiry, the race was declared a no contest and all wagers were refunded. Travis Stone is the announcer.

Horse racing oddity: incredible stretch run

Donnaguska, a first time starter owned by Billy Hays and trained by Joe Woodard, makes a remarkable stretch run to win her debut by two and a quarter lengths at Hawthorne Race Course on October 23, 2008. As track announcer Peter Galassi noted, Donnaguska was "far, far, far, far back" early under jockey Israel Ocampo. The three-year-old daughter of Yonaguska was sent off at 17-1, the second long...

Forego had 3 bad legs hated wet tracks and had the weight of 2 jockeys on his back. Race replay 2 watch. The 1996 Marlboro cup on wet track. Still can't believe the photo. Please watch.
I was at OTB that day and during that race there was a horse that was 99-1 I put $10 across the board on him, he was dead last the entire race, thought I lost $30 but instead got a refund This is why you never rip up your tickets
Track announcer: Terry Wallace
WHAT A COME FROM WAY BACK TO WIN. 😁👌🙌👍
Thanks for posting this. I often wondered what Johnson's call sounded like.
Wow, this is something to see and hear after all these years!!!!
Just an amazing race horse.
You finally found the Dave Johnson NYRA call . Even though this is a film because the replay from NYRA would have the NYRA Replay graffic with the numbers of the 4 horses on the bottom with the time on top
When 4th gear hits
It's amazing no one found this for years. Equally amazing is no one at NYRA kept their original videotape of Johnson's call of the 1973 Belmont. If there had been an eighth season of "Mad Men," I would have advanced the storylines to 1973 and opened such a season with this race.
The rest of the horses were dead, but even in saying that, you dont see horses win from that far back, that late in the race lol. Hes ten lengths back from second to last in a strung out field at the top if the stretch, maybe more lol. Thats insane.
🔵LOUSY CAMERA WORK AND LOUSY RACE CALLING.🔴
Battery to the neck and horse went zoom zoom zoom!! 😂
The announcer had his head up his ass.....
Track announcer: Harry Henson
Go Big Red!!
I like secretariat moving like a tremendous machine and the excitement, I like hearing, He's All Alone..thanks for the footage, But!
Thank you so very much for finding this historic footage! I've been waiting so long to hear Dave Johnson's take of Secretariat's masterpiece, and I'm very glad that the NYRA has decided to release it. It's a quite straightforward race call due to Dave's duties to the track and the betting public, but the angles and the sheer nostalgic value is priceless. Now if only CBS would release the original full broadcast film stock footage that is collecting dust in their archives. Remastering costs for them would be negligible considering the net worth of the network. Hopefully, one day it will be.
This is a lame call no emotion Chic's was light years better!
This was very early in Dave Johnson's career. He was following a legend in Fred Caposella (who retired at the end of the 1971 season as NYRA didn't race year-round then) and could not be as flamboyant as he would be later on.
Nobody was ever going to top Anderson's call of this race, and that goes for any sports announcer in any sport.
Brilliant ride by Jerry Lambert on Convenience. He moved over in from of Shoemaker and forced him to go inside of him or around him. Loved Harry Henson with that true racetrack announcers voice.

Prefer the other announcer they didn't even show Secretariat crossing the finish line
Secretariat ran off the screen. The camera used in this version couldn’t show the entire stretch. State of the Art equipment for 1973. The CBS camera was able to capture the entire stretch. That was a good race for 2nd by two horses that probably ran about a 2 minute 28 second mile and a half. Which would be good enough to win many runnings of the Belmont Stakes. I like this version’s angle of Secretariat in a full sprint up the backstretch. That was amazing to watch. Horses just don’t do that in a mile and a half race.
I like this different version of the race. We get to see the battle for second between Twice A Prince and My Gallant, as well as a bit closer look of Secretariat coming around the far turn, and, of course, his backside.
🔵THE GUY DOING THE PLAY BY PLAY IS LOUSY!🔴
That’s Dave Johnson. The only thing I didn’t like about his call is that he wasn’t giving out the split times. That made the race more exciting when Chic Anderson gave out the running time for the first three quarters ….1:09 and three. That was Secretariat’s warmup. That puts it all into prospective. He was burning up the backstretch.
Dave Johnson was an outstanding race track announcer . He replaced the legendary, Fred Cappeslla . Dave was the NYRA announcer from 1972 to 1978 and Chick Anderson replaced Dave in 1978 and held on the NYRA track announcing job untill he passed away in 1979 and Chick was replaced by Marshall Cassidy
@@laurenurban3942 They didn't give split times back then. That only really started under Marshall Cassidy when Off-Track Betting locations in New York were getting the live calls. Even Chic Anderson on his pre-NYRA race calls for CBS never did that (Anderson would replace Johnson as the main track announcer in the spring of 1977 at the NYRA tracks (with Cassidy then his backup until he succeeded Anderson when Anderson died in March 1979) when Johnson left to become the first thoroughbred announcer at The Meadowlands).
@@brendanmullarkey1787 Actually it was the spring of 1977 when Johnson left NYRA to become the first track announcer for thoroughbred racing at The Meadowlands ahead of their first thoroughbred meet that fall. Chic Anderson became the only announcer because of when he replaced Johnson to call two legs as the on-track voice when Seattle Slew won the TC in 1977 as he was the track announcer at Churchill Downs from 1961-'77 before leaving midway through the 1977 spring meet at CD to replace Johnson at the start of or early in the Belmont spring meet.
Secretariat is the greatest horse in racing and lets not leave out Sham he was also great.
Sham is a legend too, his KD time still stands after he’d ripped two teeth out in the gate and bled profusely the whole way. He was a warrior and imo pushed Sec to find new gears, especially in Belmont. My personal favorite but I love Sec also.
Rare , unseen , alternate footage of the " track " call by my ex neighbor and friend the greatest track announcer in the history of north ⬆️ American thoroughbred horse 🐴🐎😀 racing 🐎 Mr Dave Johnson who was just a great super terrific incredible and unbelievable guy that I've not seen in years and I hope he's doing well ❤️🩹 ! ! !
Dave "And, Down the stretch they come" Johnson. He didn't use that famous phrase here because only one horse was coming down the stretch. He was my favorite race caller too.
@@NalaRichenbach Johnson didn't begin using that phrase until later. If you hear his call of the 1972 Belmont, he didn't use it there nor on most other calls early in his career. That also included the fabled 1976 Marlboro Cup (the famed "Forego's coming like a freight train" call Chic Anderson did for CBS) where he didn't use it either. I believe he only started that after he left NYRA for The Meadowlands in 1977 where he became their first thoroughbred track announcer.
@@WaltGekko I don't really care when he started using it....he used the phrase better than anyone I know.
Wow, never seen this before. Thanks for posting.
Forego was a champion.
Great comeback!
Cigar went on to win 22 straight races on dirt....the incomparable, invincible, unbeatable Cigar!!
The Mighty Forego.
Had Cigar's conection had put him on dirt much sooner. Cigar would had been way, way up on the list as all time best horses. The consistency and the times that made and diffrents tracks and even country proof that.
I believe this horse ran the last 3/8 much faster than the first 3/8. Incredible Finnish..
Echo of Silky Sullivan! I'm surprised to only seen about a half dozen references to him. I remember as a kid watching a race on TV with my Dad. Silky Sullivan was so far back that they had a separate camera on him so you could watch him in a separate little window in the corner of the screen!
One of my favorite face horses KELSO, broke his maiden in his first start in 1959 at Atlantic City race course . He was ridden by Johnny Block .
Ohh El Gran Forego Hijo de uno de los mejores caballos nuestros Argentinos de nuestra historia el Gran "Forli" Jefe de Raza
Love that long stretch at Hawthorne!
Buried at Saratoga!
I was there that day! Cake walk!
I’m curious what her MPH was in the final drive in relation to the other horses, as well as compared to great horses in great victories.
Donna was great. If you like come behind horses, she did it at a 6f sprint, but it you reallly want to see an amazing come from behind victory in a long race, watch Calidosciopo in the Brooklyn Handicap, on a muddy track, come from so far out of it that he was out of the picture for most of the race, but started to pick em up and lay them down one at a time and win by a length!! Argeniniean , the first 10 year old to win a graded stakes in America!!!!
I was there… Sh!tt!ng a brick! Affirmed was my favorite.
The amazing Harry Henson with the call.
Amazing that's all .
I know affirmed was great but after watching this burst of speed I rate him with the all times great
My father had a horse named Slack Rack when I was a kind and he could not figure out the start to save his life.(After one of his wins, they had to get him okayed out of the gate before they could run him again.) He'd win from a mile back and, man, it was so exciting to watch him run even in those cheap races. I spent half of my childhood at the track and a good portion of my adulthood there and I've never seen anything like this race. 15 back at the half? She was probably more than 15 back a third of the way through the stretch.
This was an amazing filly. She would have done great things. Sadly missed.
OMG!
The pace was very fast….she was far back enough that she rounded the final turn by herself and just slingshotted off it….like Secretariat did on the first turn in the 1973 Preakness stakes….then he came right up the inside, saving a lot of ground. Perfectly timed.
My dear, this was a 6 furlong race, a sprint, of COURSE the pace was fast!!. This is asinine to compare this to what Secretariat may have done.
Affirmed's connections were lucky Seattle Slew had been retired!
