BloodHorse Library

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's magical run into the hearts of racing enthusiasts, sports fans, and the world at large—anyone who appreciates excellence could relate to the larger-than-life chestnut bombshell who in 1973 became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. This audio podcast is a companion to BloodHorse Daily’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's achievement. This 12-part series originally ran in 2013, for the 40th anniversary. It corresponds to each of Big Red's races as a 3-year-old, relying on the observations and remembrances of Secretariat's rider, Ron Turcotte, and owner Penny (Tweedy) Chenery.
