This song "Oh Happy Days" at Belmont with Secretariat running away from the pack and hitting it's extraordinary stride to win always sends chills and a joyful tear..What a truly amazing and beautiful animal.

@clubleaf206 Thank you for that one. Her voice is angelic and the lyrics fill my heart.
I have so many I could share, but I'll keep it to one...for now.
I'm posting this version as you can better understand the lyrics, but I just feel it's overproduced and over polished. I prefer the version at the second link.

Here is another one.
quote:
American songwriter Peter Jones discovered a collection of letters in his parents’ attic written by his great-great-great grandfather, Byran Hunt, to his son, John Hunt, who had emigrated from Kilkelly in Ireland to the United States in 1855. The Great Famine in Ireland had forced large numbers of people to emigrate in search of a better life. The five-stanza ballad he wrote based on these letters cover the time period from 1860 to 1892.
