Summary: Beautiful Secretariat Keepsake
Comment: The Secretariat Beanie Baby is a wonderful addition to anyone's collection. The detail is truly magnificent and is a fitting testament to the legendary racehorse. Secretariat is the only sports figure to appear on the covers of Sports Illustrated, Time, and Newsweek at the same time. He still holds the fastest times in Triple Crown History and the Beanie Baby certainly does justice to the lasting legacy of "Big Red".

Summary: Secretariat Beanie--good, but why are there nioFILLY Beanies?
Comment: I got this 'Secretariat" beanie (along with the '133rd Kentucky Derby Horse' beanie) about a month ago--it's beautiful, but I can;t help wondering why there are so many 'colt' beanies & NO 'filkly' beanies--I mean, FOUR of Barbaro? That's overkill! Meanwhile, deserving FILLIES like Ruffian, Genuine Risk, & Rags to Riches go unrecognized, which I think is HIGHLY UNFAIR...!

Summary: Triple Crown Champion
Comment: Secretariat Beanie Baby is a piece of horse racing history. He won the Derby, Preakness and Belmont races in record time. Secretariat won the Belmont by 31 lengths in 2:24. A time that may never be beaten. The Beanie Baby details are very good and adds to the appeal of this toy. Amazon.com took care in packaging.

Summary: A Superstar Gets All Dolled Up
Comment: In this era of sports when the superstar of the moment is lucky to last a single news cycle, the legacy of 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat seems to loom larger than ever.
And I guess it was just a matter of time that Big Red would have his own Ty Beanie Baby, since there are any number of official hats, shirts, mugs, prints. posters, photographs and other items to honor arguably the greatest Thoroughbred ever.
The detail on the Beanie is very impressive, as it stands on legs that show Secretariat's distinctive three white stockings. The famous blue and white blinkers that represents the silks of Meadow Stable is well detailed.
The Beanie sports the 1A Kentucky Derby saddlecloth that was worn in the record-setting run and has an attached swing tag that includes a brief history, birthdate, and official Kentucky Derby licensed product hologram.
This is a unique item from a company that is known for its quality products and carries the moniker of the world's greatest Thoroughbred race. Now that is a winning trifecta ticket for any collector.
