Here's a photo of Secretariat's home at Claiborne Farms and through that gate, you will find not only his stall and paddock and his famous breeding shed, but you will find his gravestone where well wishers can come and greet him. And the statue below is a recently commemorated bronze reproduction of Ron Turcotte, Eddie Sweat and Secretariat, probably on their way to the winner's circle. This statue stands at the Kentucky Horse Park directly down from Man 'O War. Secretariat is #2 in the history of racehorses, right behind Man o' War.
His record still stands for 2 of the 3 components of the Triple Crown jewels and he won the Belmont by 31 lengths at a scorching speed! He was a 16.2 hand stallion named Big Red, sharing the same nickname as Man o' War. He earned many honors in his life, including being in the Racing Hall of Fame, getting a postage stamp, being voted #35 of the top 100 athletes of the 20th century by ESPN, the highest ranked animal by far! And in 2005, ESPN classic television chose him to represent the animal world for most amazing athletic moments! His mom was Penny Chenery!
