SECRETARIAT AT THE 1973 BELMONT STAKES

KMR recently saw the flick and suggested looking up the clip of the race. Here it is:


BONUS QUESTION FOR ANY READER: Why were Secretariat's racing silks blue and white? Hint for Mink Monica: the answer is on the wall in Warner Center.

UPDATE: ChrisN nailed it: Secretariat's first owner was a Washington and Lee alum and big benefactor of the school. A print in Warner Center tells the story of the horse and his colors.

Was Penny Chenery's father a W&L grad?

Good God,that's not a horse, it's a rocket wrapped in horsehide.
