If there can be one horse and one race that defines the sport of Thoroughbred racing, the horse would be the world-famous Secretariat and the race would be his win of the 1973 Belmont Stakes. Listed on two “Athletes of the Century” lists (#35 on ESPN’s list and in the Top Ten of Time Magazine’s list), Triple Crown winner Secretariat, owned by Meadow Stables, was a true athlete and champion. The world has yet to see another Belmont win of 31 lengths, such as he did in 1973, and there has yet to be a Thoroughbred that breaks his 1973 Kentucky Derby record of 1:59 2/5.
