A half century after his amazing Triple Crown sweep, Secretariat
remains the burnished icon that captured the public's imagination
like no other horse. His chestnut coat glistening and his powerful
muscles rippling, stormed home by an astounding 31 lengths to win
the 1973 Belmont Stakes and the Triple Crown as thousands of fans
watched in awe. The most charismatic horse of the modern era,
Secretariat graced the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports
Illustrated and galvanized a public weary of Watergate and the
Vietnam war. Timothy T. Capps tells the riveting story of
Secretariat from the champion's birth at Meadow Stable in Virginia
and his tutelage under renowned trainer Lucien Laurin, to his great
victories with jockey Ron Turcotte and his life after the
racetrack.
