Story: www.salisburypo...

[@hughiesexton3934]

I was 25 years old when Secretariat won the Triple Crown. No other horse has left such an incredible legacy in all three races.

[@alexajohnson8304]

I had one of Secretariat’s great grand babies too:) he was an amazing racehorse! He was a first place winner multiple times. Heartbreakingly, he passed away last month from colic. But when I tried to find his races online, I found his lineage and just couldn’t believe it! I love your story!

[@carold.8782]

When I was a teenager, I enjoyed riding my mother's Thoroughbred, a grand daughter of Man O' War! Now, I know that famous race horse stallions have a lot of get, but there is something special in owning and loving one!

[@karonnew9205]

Secretariat is my favorite horse and my whole life the best horse I've ever seen I love horses very much

[@karenshaub8273]

I was 27 when I watched Secretariat win the Triple Crown, and I still tear up when I watch him run that Belmont.

[@jadeblues357]

I was 10 years old😊

[@hazelkagey6739]

Oh, my Lord! Tears are streaming down my face. I am so thankful that God answered your prayers. How I would love to have met Secretariat. He was a true work of God! Most magnificent horse I have ever seen. Oh, so glad you were chosen to have Blue, he is gorgeous!

[@sonicamy4518]

I'm glad you got to have your dream fulfilled! I saw Secretariat in his KY run. He kind of still looked like a baby. By the Belmont he was a big grown up boy, and had filled out to a magnificent copper penny! Secretariat of all horses still makes my heart skip a beat.

[@tomb4165]

With all your love, appreciation and enthusiasm you display for Secretariat and exceptional horses in general, you deserved to have this one come your way.

[@patlongworth5998]

Hi Ann, my story is similar. I have a great great great grandson of Secretariat. I saw all three races of Secretariat. I have equestrian training showing background. Hurricane Day is a big gorgeous bay 16.2 hands who is now 16 and I rescued him Februay 11, 2015 from inexperienced owners who did not know who he was. He was 7 years old and his final race was July 27, 2014. I have seen all his races after researching how to find them. I'm rejoicing with you sister!!!! Congrats and God Bless you and Blue every day. OTTBs are the best horses because they been there done that!!

[@susancaroline927]

This is such a beautiful story. Not just about your Blue. It’s also a wonderful testimony of faith in God. I tried to tell my Mama and had to start over three times before I could tell the whole thing without breaking down crying. Lol. Such a beautiful, wonderful ending and beginning. Love from Louisiana.

[@StormyPeak]

As proud as you are to have Secretariat in the lineage of your horse, I hope you are aware that your horse traces back to Secretariat through his daughter, Terlingua. She was one of the most famous thoroughbred broodmares out there. On the track she was an outstanding stakes winner, and as mentioned a famous broodmare. She foaled the super majestic sire of sires, Storm Cat....who left a Huge stamp in the world of thoroughbreds. She also is the great great grand-dam of American Pharoah who won the Triple Crown in 2015. She was known as The Crown Princess and lived to be like 31 or 32 years old. I watched my first Derby on t.v. back in 1972, when Riva Ridge won. The next year, I cheered for Secretariat, because his jockey wore the same colors as Riva Ridge and they said that Riva Ridge and Secretariat were stable mates. Secretariat hooked me into loving horse racing...and I have been a fan since then. Myself, I always dreamed of having a descendant of Alydar.... as Alydar ended up being my all time favorite race horse. I doubt I'll ever get to see my dream come true, but it's good to see that you did and how emotional you are at the idea of having that connection to Secretariat, via your beautiful grey guy.

[@teazn2]

OMG. His mama was Terlingua? I rode for A.P.Paulson, D.Wayne Lucas, Willard Procter and many more. So I broke and galloped some nice horses, she was one of the finest.

[@juliehertz8768]

Terlinqua was one amazing girl on the track she got her daddy's will to win.And her baby Storm Cat still has grandchildren on the track.Terlinqua was and is The Princess of racing royalty.💜💜

[@tracyjohnson5023]

Secretariat’s legacy is through his daughters imo. His daughters were decent racehorses in their own right, but they really shown as broodmares, passing down those genetics. Many horse people believe, myself included, that foals seem to inherit more from mom than dad. I don’t think the world will ever see Secretariats equal on the racetrack unless God decides to send us another perfect racehorse.

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

And also means his great great great grandfather was Bold Ruler so he has a lot in his heritage. How lucky you are and he is absolutely a beautiful beautiful horse

[@chomama1628]

He reminds me of Lady’s Secret. You’re one lucky woman!

[@suzannerobbins6293]

I just cried again this year after watching Secretariat run Belmont again! I was 27 when I watched him run in 73! To be able to have his great great grandson must be the best feeling ever! You are blessed! I still remember how Secretariat would start last..circle the field, and take over the race! What a sight to behold! ❤️

[@michellecotter7017]

Brings tears to my eyes for your story. Congratulations for him coming into your life. You are one lucky woman. He is where he should be.

[@bobhill5791]

Great story and great looking horse. A couple years ago I was lucky to take care of one of his last daughters. She had the same marking on the face and 3 white socks. She was borne in March and Secretariat put down that following October. I kind of know how blessed you feel. Good for you!

[@sherrytate7842]

Oh that is such a wonderful story and testimony to God and answered prayers ! I tear up just listening to stories seeing Secretariat run his races it’s so touching I’ve always felt a special feeling for Secretariat your Blue is a handsome guy ! Thanks for sharing

[@donnakeeley7924]

Sarah, What a wonderful story of Gods love of us! He knows ecactly what we need at any given moment! I can remember Secretariats race as if it were yesterday! I and my daddy watched it together, our mouths agape. Daddy raised working and running quarter horses as a hobby and I do believe that was the last horserace we watched on television together. We raised a whole herd of horses that we were pretty proud of back in the 60's and 70's, until his death in 81. I miss him and those horses so! It is said in a cowboys life, he will only find his perfect horse once in a lifetime. My daddy found his, I found mine and you found yours! God bless you, girl after this grammys heart!

[@milenekransen9426]

You are so lucky to have such a great great son of the legendary and beautiful secrectariat

The old gospel song telling that it is no secret what God can do is truly a wonderful song. He answered your prayer. You remained faithful in your belief. He provided you with the answer you were praying for. Blue is beautiful!

[@hummingbird_chirps8520]

Blue's definetly looks alot like his grand grand Secretariat, esp., his expression in his eyes... I was 13yo when I started watching Secretariat race... clipping all the newspaper articles about him for my scrapebook... I still watch YT videos of Big Red... 🦋💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🦋

[@ManjuSingh-io6ix]

Youre lucky to have a horse like this ❤️

[@1973secretariat]

I'm pert near 70 years old and if there's one thing I've learned in my short on this planet is that money can't make you happy. The bond between this horse and this woman is priceless. The story brought tears to my eyes. I hope both parties remain healthy and together for many years to come.

[@magicpainthorse]

My first horse was a granddaughter of Citation. She even looked like him. That beautiful, dream horse of a mare was the love of my life. I'm so happy that God made your dream come true. You're so right to give Him the credit!

[@kcuzz4091]

What a wonderful story and so happy for Ann that she bought this horse when she did. So happy for Gentleman Breck that he found such a loving, kind owner for the rest of his days. I will never forget seeing Secretariat win the Triple Crown races and especially what he did in the Belmont with his 31 length lead and 2:24 time. That feeling of being completely stunned by what had just happened and the joy that he had won. He moved like he could do it all day and like he was truly enjoying himself out on that Belmont track. It was amazing! I still love to watch the reruns that they play this time year as we begin the Triple Crown races.

[@PaulGood-wt7mb]

That is soooo cool. I watched the t.v. coverage of the Triple Crown races in 1973...I Love to watch them all...especially The Belmont. I saw a grandson of Secretariat race in Fargo several years ago...he won by nine lengths...that is my brush with his amazing grand dad. All the best to you.

Great story. I was in the back stretch at Belmont when Secretariat won the Triple Crown. I will never forget that day. When I was younger, I had a grandson of Count Fleet.

[@guynellerandle9742]

What an amazing story! I have just really gotten into Secretariat’s story! That’s so amazing to learn! Congratulations to you for your answered prayer. God is so good. Secretariat and his owner had such a special and unique bond, I anticipate you and Blue will, as well. Please keep us posted! (PS, I am also from SC)

And Northern Dancer on his sire line, who held the KD record that Secretariat beat. Then again, about 75% of modern thoroughbreds have Northern Dancer in their blood. But he was the most important sire of the 20th century.

Awesome....I always wanted my own horse but never was able to acquire the proper place for one.....my dad always said, "if you don't have a place to keep one, it is better not to have one, because if you have to board it out somewhere, it becomes less of your horse and becomes more of someone else's." How true that is...one has to be with their horses everyday in order not only to bond with them, but also to ride and train them properly....my dad was right.....He loved horses and had his own personal horse when he was a teenager....one where only he was able to handle and ride it... no one else could. I am very happy you have found the horse for you....it is a God send, who knows what would have happened to Blue if you hadn't acquire him.....with you he can have a good life and home, with another, maybe not so good....HIGH 5

Ruffian was more in the time frame and would have been an awesome mate as well!

[@marysueeasteregg]

@@Witchplato Unlikely Ruffian would ever have been bred to Secretariat. They were closely related, Secretariat's sire Bold Ruler also having sired Ruffian's sire Reviewer. Such matings are very, very rare these days.

[@brainfree4931]

[@Meriale46]

Secretariat sired nearly 500 folds and of those 500 folds more than 1000 offspring were also born and of those offspring thousands more. Secretariat died in 1986 at the age of 19. So 30+ years have passed and thousands of folds have been sired of Grandsons and grand-daughters of that magnificent horse. The bloodlines today are very very thin and aren't very significant in racing today. None of his original offspring ever matched his athletic abilities or even came close to his abilities. A great horse is a process of selective breeding such in Secretariats case...his Father was Bold Ruler and his Mother was SomethingRoyal. Both of these horses had a strong lineage and were of great breeding. Unfortunately, today's racehorses rarely compare to what Penny Chinnery achieved with Secretariat. I'm happy that you got your wish to have some part of the greatest Race Horse in history. He's a beautiful animal. He is one of the lucky ones who has survived past his 5th birthday as many of Secretariats remaining offspring of his offsprings, offspring are sold to slaughterhouses once people who purchased them for racing realize that they can't reproduce his success. It's a tragic ending for these animals that people buy simply because his name lies somewhere in the history of the bloodlines of a new fold. I know this story is 5 years old but I pray you still have that beautiful horse. He's magnificent...and even with his white coat you can see he dawns a lot of Secretariats strength.

He was named First Secretary and was a chestnut Appy with a spotted blanket. My mare was colored almost exactly like Secretariat and was feisty while her son was the ultimate western pleasure horse. Both were ApHC champions.

Maybe some horses beat Secretariat of his record of wining. However, no horse can beat Secretariat of the length he is far away from the horse of the second place. By the way, please, could you tell me how the filly died?

Now Ruffian was a fine fily. Bold Ruler is one of the GREATEST foundation sires ever, in my opinion.

[@susancaroline927]

It’s good that fillies and colts didn’t race in the same groups. That way they can BOTH hold their “ Best Horse” titles. She was absolutely gorgeous! And that could never be argued. I’m going to find her movie and watch it. Sadly, I was born in September of ‘73 and never saw these greats run personally. That’s about the only time I wish I were a solid ten years older. Lol. But watching Secretariat’s old footage now brings me to tears and takes my breath away. I can’t wait to see Ruffian’s footage and learn more about her!
