Secretariat (horse)

Tags: Race Horse.

Secretariat (March 30 1970 – October 4 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown winner in 25 years. He set race records in all three events in the series – the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5) the Preakness Stakes (1:53) and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) – records that still stand today. He is considered to be one of the greatest Thoroughbreds of all time.
