On DVD or VHS: When SECRETARIAT retired following the 1973 season it was FOREGO who took over as the best racehorse in America. At seventeen hands FOREGO naturally stood tall; for three years of his life as the Horse-of-the-Year from 1974-1976, he stood tall as a giant of the turf. The eight-year-old gelding won 34 of 57 races and retired with earnings of $1,938, 957, second at the time only to the legendary KELSO.

After six years of racing, FOREGO's legs had begun to show the strain of wear and tear on the track and on July 10, 1978, he was retired after a series of re-occurring injuries. A very rare retirement tribute to FOREGO is also included which is narrated by Jack Whittaker in this comprehensive, one-of-a-kind custom-made racing compilation...an INSTANT COLLECTOR'S ITEM!! Take a look back at one of racing's most beloved and legendary champions....FOREGO... with some of his most memorable racing moments. AS AN ADDED BONUS...viewers are treated to a very rare and priceless segment of both KELSO and FOREGO shown together for the first time ever in the paddock at Belmont Park before the running of the 1983 Jockey Club Gold Cup. If this isn't enough, another future racing great, JOHN HENRY, is to run in this race and is shown being saddled in the outdoor saddling enclosure at Belmont Park. Then both KELSO and FOREGO are shown fully dressed and leading the way out of the paddock en route to the track to lead the post-parade. To make things even more nostalgic, retired track announcer Fred Caposella (the voice of New York racing for so many years) is brought out of retirement for the day to introduce 26-year-old KELSO and 13-year-old FOREGO to a packed grandstand at Belmont Park which drew a standing ovation for several minutes. This is the first and last time ever that all three beloved geldings: KELSO, FOREGO and JOHN HENRY would all be together at the same time as sadly, KELSO died the very next day. You've probably heard of this historic meeting of all three racing legends but now you can actually watch it in its entirety!
