"Big Red" thunders down the stretch, with this vintage horse racing pennant. Thoroughbred champion Secretariat crossed the wire 31 lengths ahead of the competition in the 1973 Belmont Stakes, thrilling the crowd while setting a still standing record. One of the greatest races of all-time, this victory nailed down the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing for the nearly unbeatable three-year-old, who also set records in the 1973 Kentucky Derby and Preakness races. This full-size flag trumpets the glory of the Hall of Fame champion's 1973 campaign, with a "Super Horse" appliqué, and the legend "Secretariat 1973 Triple Crown Winner". This white-on-blue pennant displays bold graphics and lettering and remains fairly crisp, while showing moderate wear including two horizontal folds, to rate as (VG-EX+). As we approach the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's record-setting season, this exciting pennant is well-timed for the celebration.
