Legends NEVER Die! Thank you Penny. What a Wonderful Beautiful Woman

Penny and Secretariat’s Legacy will live on indefinitely!!

[@laurenurban3942]

So will his Belmont Stakes record winning time. That will last forever.

[@johnwalsh3215]

@@laurenurban3942 his time of 2:24 will never be beat, it’s still the world record that no horse anywhere in the world has been within 1 second of his time in dirt, that’s 5 lengths (40 feet)

[@hollywoodpineapple8337]

@@johnwalsh3215 Yup, and even if it's broken he will still forever be remembered. The hype has lasted a LONG time...Not to mention the commentary to go along with it, hiw blue checkered look with the rider looking back and not whipping him just hanging on. The whole thing will never be replicated...And that's okay. There are many things in the world that are once in an EXISTENCE or Universal experience. Just cherish the moment whether you lived through it or found out about it. Appreciate technology enabled you to be able to see it. RIP to them both.

Rest in peace Penny. You and Secretariat have inspired not only me but thousands more people. I wished I could have met you to talk and hear your story. You've inspired me to chase my dreams and never look back when you start running the race. I hope your final moments were joyous and you left with no regrets. Please say Hi to Big Red up in heaven for us. Both your memorie will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved you. And in the movie you created. You like Big Red. Are immortality ingrained into the hearts and minds of every horse lover. Thank you for everything you have done for us.

What a beautiful tribute to both Secretariat, the gorgeous, tremendous machine, and Penny, his obviously very proud owner. Your comments still relevant, and always will be.

[@janetgallo5720]

Rest in peace penny. You did a great job of helping horse racing grow, and you let Secretariat run.

[@joyflavell7385]

@@annbolyn4910 beautifully expressed and such a lovely tribute to an amazing woman and her insight and seeing the potential of Big Red even before he was born. Both of their stories are ones for legends and I think their greatness wouldn't have been the story of legend without their bond. I wish she were here for the 50th anniversary of their Triple Crown but I hope they're looking on from heaven. I feel grateful and blessed to have been alive during the Run for the Roses. I hope there's a special tribute this year at the Belmont. ❤️❤️❤️

Miss Penny was a class act she truly was amazing thanks for the memories. Measow Farm was a Historical beautiful Farm in Doswell Virginia the birthplace on March 30, 1970 at ten minutes past midnight of the greatest horse ever Secretariat hero to so many if us during our youth in 1972-1973. Forever remember Secretariat and his stablemate Riva Ridge to horse racing legends thanks for the memories the Meadow is an amazing place in beautiful Historical Doswell Virginia

[@russellhoule6390]

Sad to learn she passed away. She was as great a person as her horse who was the greatest.....

RIP horse loving Lady God Bless you n Big Red 💞🐎😢😭

Ma’am, may God rest your soul.

[@nancyhodge7331]

we will never see anther one like him ever again

[@davidw.robertson448]

She died at 95 so she had a full life. Her father owned and bred Secretariat but he died in January 1973 and did not see his victories in the Triple Crown races. She nevertheless was a remarkable woman and carried on her father's work of breeding and racing horses.

[@jesi3336]

Penny was the decision maker in the breeding of Secretariat....both Legends in their own time😮🐎💔

[@rivaridge7211]

davidw: Penny's father got to see "Riva Ridge" win the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes in 1972 - among the many other victories Riva had. The Derby win alone must have been the greatest thrill of Mr. Chenery's professional life.

[@seagirl1100]

This movie and Pennys life is so inspirational. Thanks for extra info.

[@WideAwake-bl7gw]

Enjoy Heaven with your beautiful boy by your side, Ms. Chenery.

[@Nisie23]

That's ridiculous. Without her THERE WOULD'VE BEEN A SECRETARIAT! He was magnificent and would've become a TC Champ without a shred of a doubt! No matter what.

[@brucelee2826]

Sad... I'd wanted to meet her as one of my bucket list.

Thank you Penny, for letting "The Big Red Horse Run" as singer-songwriter John Stewart wrote..

[@Truth-Be-Told-USA]

Sad news

[@Mrbigp59]

RIP your heart was clearly into these beautiful horses. I guess syndicating breeder rights are selling according to some people. And advocating for the safe retirement of race horses rather than selling them to Mexico for dog meat aint good for some people too. As forest gump said stupid is what stupid does.

[@deborahmusgrove90]
