I absolutely agree and their beautiful relationship bring tears to my eyes every time. Eddie was an experience horseman. He brought knowledge about these sentinel creatures to his job as Groom. They both were blessed to have each other. I read somewhere that Mr. Sweat spoke Geeche, that Secretariat responded to him and that Mr. Sweat was the only one the could handle Secretariat. Everyone else was about the financial gain. For Mr. Sweat the most important thing we do for those we love and that is be a presence in their lives. He spent a lot of time with our beloved Secretariat. He often read to him. Everyone else was about financial gain. I understand the Owner father had left his Estate with a tax debt. So Secretariat was syndicated and could know longer race as part of the agreement. and just look at how many times he covered a mare six hundred and something . It was all about the money.Mr. Sweat and Secretariat loved each other dearly. I can't help but feel that had he gone with Secretariat the illness that claimed his Life Would not have happened

Vicki Hodges, a few people were involved in Secretariat's success. His owner, Penny, vowed to do everything possible for him. Eddie Sweat, however, was devoted to Secretariat since the moment he was born. Eddie was there for his best buddy, Secretariat, 24/7/365 until later when Eddie battled Leukemia that took his life. Eddie was very poor when he died because of the disease treatments. Close friends and the Jockey association paid for his funeral. It hit Eddie hard when Secretariat died.

M T, Eddie Sweat rarely ever rode Secretariat. Eddie was not a small man despite being called "shorty" by his close friends. Charlie Davis was Secretariat's exercise rider. Charlie Davis said that riding Secretariat was like riding a huge overpowered motorcycle. Ron Turcotte often said, "hold on and let him run."

I often wonder if, at least in the 20th century, the greatest horses were the ones who were also cared for without any cruelty. I also wonder if they understood better which feed component had desired results and which poor results and could adjust the diet to each horse’s needs accordingly. I was shocked at reading Saving Baby to find that some “trainers “ do to their race horses things that shouldn’t even be done to a pet pony.

My daughter's an equestrian, and from what we've learned from our most trusted horse people; there's no greater bonding you can do with a horse than to groom them. If your horse experience starts and ends at the mounting block, you may become a great rider, but you'll never be a HORSEMAN. Eddie Sweat was THE horseman.

Grooms in ALL forms of horse sporting events be it racing or showing are the most unappreciated and under paid people in the business. After what Secretariat achieved, as well as Riva Ridge who probably would have won the Triple Crown had the track been dry at Pimlico, Eddie should have been given a HUGE reward that would have had him set for the rest of his life. As it was, even after all those incredible achievements, he nor his family could afford a headstone on his grave. That’s despicable ! There is one now thanks to the generosity of a Secretariat group on FB. RIP Peace Eddie ! You did the best anyone ever could ! You were THE BEST !

There are 20 different divisions of the Eclipse award. There should be one honoring the top groom. Name it after Eddie Sweat. At the very least he should receive the Eclipse Award of Merit. Be sure to read the book on Eddie by Lawrence Scanlan. I read once such was Eddie's relationship with horses, that after not seeing Riva Ridge for quite some time, he visited him at Claiborne farm. Riva was so happy to see his old friend he charged over to the fence where Eddie was standing and almost fell over in happiness.

Sweat was offered a job at Claiborne Farms when Secretariat went to stud there, but turned it down. I'm not sure why. Maybe he wanted to stick with taking care of horses who were racing---a bit more excitement. Sweat, sadly, died penniless, according to a story I read. Grooms, being low on the horse-racing business ladder, of course don't get the respect they deserve. Sweat, by all accounts, was outstanding at what he did.

Once when I was working for Joe Aqilino (rip) a horse that I had just started taking care of saw me walk into the barn and started nickering. The assistant trainer asked me if I had been giving him candy. (Peppermints) . I told him no, I never did that. My friend said that horse was happy to see me. That horse had 16 straight starts before I got him without having finished in the top four . First time I ran him he finished second at 54-1 odds . Second time he won paying 16$ next time second again and got claimed .

I read a couple of articles about Eddie. Seems he died broke and the family couldn't pay for the funeral. The Jockey Club Foundation paid for it. However what I find appalling that neither Roger or Penny Chenery went to the funeral or sent one flower. Bill Nack who got so much access to Secretariat through his friendship with Eddie did not attend his funeral, send flowers or write a article. It says alot of how some people are invaluable and then expendable.

Penny died many years after Eddie. She simply didn't share with him as she should have. That's the really sad part. That man kept Secretariat with a cool head and a kind spirit. He could have been a wild mean horse being that he was so full of himself but you see him deferring to Eddie when Eddie was there, out if respect and love for Eddie. Eddie was his true owner, though not legally. Eddie was his world. The only time Big Red was without Eddie was when he was on the track. Secretariat was secure because of Eddie's impeccable care and devotion. I shudder to think what he could have been like without it, knowing how much I tensity that horse had flowing through him due to the size of his heart. He so easily could have become irascible and discontent. So kudos to you Mr. Sweat. I'm glad you're with our boy now and hope you get to ride him too! 💜💜💜

Racing does have a dark side. Majority of time a human is involved, it's usually not for the best. Eddie was an exception rather than the norm. Sad fact.

No horse that ever lived would have beat secretariat in the Belmont. Horses usually come within 2 seconds of his record time but 2 seconds is a lot in horse racing or any kind of racing for that matter.

Halls Juju, keepers didn't/don't sit in the stands. They must be near the track if needed and must be there at the end of the race. Think about it, who is the person that a horse usually trusts the most? Eddie Sweat had been with Secretariat since birth.

It has always annoyed me that Eddie was not allowed to lead Secretariat into the winners circle after the Belmont Stakes. It would have been a fitting tribute for he had as much to do for the success of Big Red as anyone.
