IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO STILL GET CHILLS WHEN YOU HEAR CHIC
ANDERSON SAY SECRETARIAT "IS MOVING LIKE A TREMENDOUS MACHINE"
OR IF YOU SEE A REPLAY OF SECRETARIAT'S BELMONT VICTORY AND IT BRINGS YOU
BACK TO A BETTER PLACE IN TIME
OR IF YOU SHED A TEAR OR TWO WHEN YOU HEARD BIG RED HAD PASSED ON
YOU ARE IN GOOD COMPANY HERE. THERE ARE MANY OF US OUT THERE.
THIS IS MY SMALL WAY OF REPAYING SECRETARIAT FOR ALL THE GREAT THRILLS
AND MEMORIES.
EACH MONTH THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED AND YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED WITH A NEW
SET OF QUESTIONS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FOLLOW THE LINKS TO THE VARIOUS PAGES.
GOOD LUCK AND HERE'S HOPING YOU ENJOY!!!

Pretty nice statue of Secretariat, Ron Turcotte and Eddie Sweat, don't you

yourself. It's a possibility. If you would like to know how you can help
make this happen just click on this link (

Don't let your favorite race horse suffer the same fate as Exceller, the
only horse to defeat two Triple Crown winners in one race. Read about his
tragic ending and these two noble organizations which try to find homes for
