Secretariat In the pasture @ Claiborne Farm #111

This is a gorgeous photograph of Secretariat walking in the pasture at Claiborne Farm in his later years. This photo was taken in 1987. Even at 17 years old, Secretariat still looked handsome as ever. His Belmont Stakes world record of 2:24 flat was superior to any Belmont Stakes running performance by at least 10 lengths. Secretariat’s three year old season was the greatest run by any horse racing champion ever. During the 1973 Triple Crown season, Secretariat was on the cover of Time Magazine, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated. This was the zenith of horse racing prominence in the eyes of the American public.
