Not only did Secretariat set the record for the fastest time at the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), each of his quarter-mile splits were faster than the preceding one, which means he was still accelerating at the end of the race. His split times were: 25 1/5, 24, 23 4/5, 23 2/5, and 23.
In the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat's winning margin (31 lengths) and winning time (2:24) still stand after 37 years.
The racing scenes in this movie are all re-creations except one: the Preakness, which is seen on an old television in the Tweedy family den. That's historical footage of the actual race.
The horse used in most of the close-ups was named "Longshot". Although "Trolley Boy" looked more like Secretariat overall, Longshot was deemed more "close-up friendly".
The Triple Crown trophy seen after the third race is the actual trophy, not a replica. It was loaned to the production by the Kentucky Derby Museum, and was human-accompanied on the trip from museum to film set and back.
"Penny Chenery: More than three thousand years ago a man named Job complained to God about all his troubles and the Bible tells us that God answered. Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? He paused fiercely, rejoicing in his strength and charges into the fray. He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing, He does not shy away from the sword. The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground. He cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds."
"Eddie Sweat: Hey, Kentucky! Big old Red done ate his breakfast this morning! And you about to see something that you ain't never even seen before!"
