Secretariat’s Legacy is a one-of-a-kind book that showcases the great Secretariat in an entirely new way--it’s the first comprehensive look at Secretariat’s impact as sire. Secretariat’s Legacy documents that impact and presents it all in a heavily illustrated coffee-table book, with photos from around the world.
All of Secretariat’s stakes winners are discussed, with detailed information provided for his best runners (such as Horse of the Year Lady’s Secret, champion 3-year-old colt Risen Star and last-crop star Tinners Way) and his many top daughters who excelled as broodmares (including Terlingua, Weekend Surprise, Secrettame and Six Crowns.) Secretariat’s best international runners are featured, such as Melbourne Cup record-setter Kingston Rule.
Scattered throughout Secretariat’s Legacy are references to the stallion’s impact in the sport-horse world, highlighting blue ribbon winning and international level show jumping descendants. Many of his sons were popular sport-horse sires, with their own offspring in great demand.
Chapters are dedicated to Secretariat’s first and last crops, and to the last surviving Secretariats, several of which lived in Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania in their twilight years.
Secretariat’s three most important grandsons (A.P. Indy, Storm Cat, and Gone West)are covered and how they continue to dominate pedigrees today through both their male- and female-line descendants.
Secretariat continues to inspire people today, whether they are horse people or not. Many horse owners are thrilled to discover their horse is a descendant of the one horse that many still consider to be the greatest racehorse of all time.
Secretariat’s Legacy is a unique opportunity to learn more about Secretariat as a sire and the impact he has had on the Thoroughbred breeding industry – and his surprising relevance to the sport horse world.
