" On March 30, 1970, Secretariat drew his first breath in a little
white foaling shed on a historic farm called The Meadow in Caroline
County, Virginia. Three years later he would leave the nation
breathless as he captured the Triple Crown, shattering records and
rivals alike. At The Meadow, America s Super Horse learned to
gallop across its rolling fields and its loamy track. There,
Secretariat first felt the calming hand of a groom, the taste of a
bit in his mouth and the weight of a rider on his back. At The
Meadow, the foundation was laid for a legend. Though much has been
written about his spectacular racing career, the complete story of
Secretariat s birthplace and the Chenery family who raised and
raced him has never been told...until now. And a Chenery
granddaughter is telling it. Secretariat s Meadow The Land, The
Family, The Legend reveals an intimate picture of this storied
place from the viewpoint of Kate Chenery Tweedy, daughter of Penny
Chenery (Tweedy) and granddaughter of Meadow Stable s founder
Christopher T. Chenery. Co-authored with Leeanne Meadows Ladin, the
book tells not only Secretariat s story, but the story of an
enduring piece of land where an empire built on broodmares
eventually produced an immortal son. "
