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.

Timothy T. Capps (1946-2017) was executive vice president of the Maryland Jockey Club and the author of two other books in the Thoroughbred Legends series, on Spectacular Bid and Affirmed and Alydar.
