4 Secretariat Sculpture at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky

Secretariat was perhaps the greatest racehorse in history. In 1973, he shattered the records in the Triple Crown: the Preakness Stakes, the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. In that last race, he won by 31 lengths. A tribute to this magnificent horse owned by Penny Chenery is at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. The sculpture by Edwin Bogucki shows the legendary thoroughbred with his jockey Ron Turcotte. Standing alongside is his groomer, Eddie Sweat. The statue captures the moment after winning the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in May of 1973. Remarkably, Secretariat ran each of the five quarter miles faster than the previous ones.
