When Secretariat died in 1989, the legend seemed complete, until the necropsy revealed the secret behind his impossible power.

Inside his chest was a heart that stunned veterinarians: an estimated 22 pounds, nearly two and a half times the size of a normal Thoroughbred’s.

It wasn’t diseased.

It wasn’t abnormal.

It was perfect.

Every chamber balanced, every wall strong, the anatomical masterpiece of nature’s own design.

That massive heart pumped oxygen-rich blood with unmatched efficiency, feeding muscles that never seemed to tire.

It was, quite literally, the tremendous machine that carried him beyond limits.

When he ran, his stride measured at nearly 25 feet, became an extension of that engine.

At full speed, his heart could circulate his entire blood volume twice in a single minute.

It’s why he didn’t just win, he expanded, accelerating when others faltered, as if time itself bent to his rhythm.

But what makes the discovery so moving isn’t the science, it’s the poetry.

That colossal heart wasn’t just muscle.

It was metaphor.

It explained what fans had always felt watching him: that there was something greater inside him, something immeasurable.

As one vet whispered after the necropsy:

“We finally know what powered him, but we’ll never understand how much heart he truly had.”

In life, Secretariat’s heart carried him 31 lengths past history.

In death, it reminded the world that greatness isn’t always about what’s seen
but about the size of the heart that beats behind it.

Did you know Secretariat's time for the first mile and a quarter of the #1973BelmontStakes (1:59) was faster than his track record KyDerby time (1:59 2/5) at that distance?

A herring is a fish.

When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells.

It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail.

Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

Robertson open letter

It feels a bit self-important writing a letter like this, if I’m honest. But when I was asked, I didn’t want to miss the chance to say thank you to a city and a community that has made me and my family feel like one of their own from day one.

Let me start with something that probably sounds more suited to a letter in The Herald back in Glasgow.

I’m a proud Glaswegian. I always will be. I love telling people where I’m from. It’s part of who I am. It’s where I was born, where I was raised and it’ll forever be in my blood.
But after nine years here, I’ve realised there’s room in my heart for two cities.
Liverpool will forever define a huge part of my life.

Honestly, I think the reason me and my family settled so quickly is because Liverpool reminded us so much of home.

The humour, the people, the mentality — it all felt familiar straight away. At times it genuinely feels like Glasgow and Liverpool are only separated by two different accents.

Both cities have that working-class spirit. Pride. Defiance. People who say what they think. No airs and graces. What you see is what you get.

And more than anything, both places value honesty. There’s something real about Liverpool. People here can spot nonsense a mile off, and I’ve always respected that.

I know from the outside my connection to this city will always be tied to the football club and everything we achieved together. Of course I’m immensely proud of that. How could I not be?

But for me and my wife, our bond with Merseyside goes much deeper than football.

Rachel and I arrived in 2017 as a young couple expecting our first child. Like me, Rach is fiercely proud of being from Glasgow. We actually went to school together, which probably tells you how long she’s had to put up with me.

Looking back now, we probably underestimated how daunting it was — moving to a new city, away from family, about to become parents for the first time.

But Liverpool instantly made us feel comfortable. And the incredible people at Liverpool Women’s Hospital made us feel safe at a time in our lives where that meant everything.

Over the nine years, two became five. Liverpool is where our little team was built.

A lot of teammates — mainly James Milner to be fair — loved winding me up about being captain of Scotland while having three kids born in England. But I’m always quick to correct them. They’re not English. We’ve got three proper little Scottish Scousers.

And honestly, we couldn’t be prouder of that.

The kids probably sum us up best really — Glaswegians with a Liverpool passport.
My wider family feel exactly the same way about this city.

When using an apostrophe to indicate a decade, it goes in front to replace the missing digits: the class of ’26, which means the same as the class of 2026.
There's no apostrophe before the s in a construction like the '20s.
