How did Secretariat reform spectators perspectives on horse racing?

Can someone answer this question with proof
Answer
Secretariat Winning Triple Crown gave new hope, breathing new life into the sport. Secretariat in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting new race records in two of the three events in the Seriesâthe Kentucky Derby (1:592â5), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) He won by a jaw-dropping 31 lengths. all records that still stand today. The triple Crown, a feat so difficult that no horse had accomplished it in the 25 years prior to Secretariat and no horse has won it in the past 33. As Secretariat came to the Belmont Stakes back in June 1973, with a chance to become the first Triple Crown winner in a quarter of a century, Secretariat led the news headlines in North America. The Big Red Horse made the covers of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated... something that hadnât happened before, or since. Here's the photo link, Time Mag- http://www.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19730611,00.html
Even after the Triple Crown Secretariat continued to prove himself as one of the top Thoroughbreds of all time. And, at age three, Secretariat was again named Horse of the Year, and won Eclipse Awards as the American Champion Three-Year-Old Male Horse and the American Champion Male Turf Horse.
Proof also in Posthumous recognition-
On October 16, 1999, in the winner's circle at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, the U.S. Postal Service honored Secretariat, unveiling a 33-cent postage stamp with his image. ESPN listed him 35th of the 100 greatest North American athletes of the 20th century, the highest of three non-humans on the list (the other two were also racehorses: Man o' War at 84th and Citation at 97th ). Secretariat was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974, the year following his Triple Crown. In 2005, he appeared in ESPN Classic's show "Who's No. 1?". In the list of "Greatest Sports Performances" (by individual athletes), the horse was the only nonhuman on the list, with his run at Belmont ranking second behind Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game. On May 2, 2007, Secretariat was inducted into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame, marking the first time an animal received this honor. Secretariat, a Disney live-action film written by Mike Rich and directed by Randall Wallace, was released on October 8, 2010. A new award created in 2011 titled "Secretariat Vox Populi" (voice of the people) was presented by Penny Chenery to the first honoree, the 2010 Horse of the Year, Zenyatta. This annual award will acknowledge the horse that brings the most excitement and attraction to the sport.
In stud, Secretariat sired such future champions as 1988 Preakness and Belmont winner Risen Star and 1986 Horse of the Year Lady's Secret. But none of his offspring came close to matching the standard he set. He remained a popular figure even after Secretariat Mania subsided. But his life ended tragically. Suffering from laminitis -- a painful hoof disease -- the 19-year-old superstar was given a lethal injection on Oct. 4, 1989, at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky.
Quote- "It was a terrible day for all of us," Claiborne president Seth Hancock said. "We just couldn't stand to see him suffer." "And, To this day, Secretariat remains one of the first names everyone thinks of whenever the topic of horse racing comes up. "It's hard to believe after all these years," Chenery said, "but hardly a day goes by that I don't get mail about Secretariat."
So, bottom line seldom does performance match excessive expectation as it did with Secretariat.
