Where was Secretariat buried?
- 1 answer
Secretariat was buried at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky. He is buried next to his sire, Bold Ruler. He was given the rare honor for a racehorse of being buried whole. Normally most of the body of a winning racehorse is cremated, and the head, heart and hooves are buried. The head - symbolizing intelligence, the heart - symbolizing strength, and the hooves - symbolizing power.
The trainers at Claborne Farms (Secretariat sired just over 600 colts in his lifetime!) heard Secretariat nay in pain and limp on September 12, 1989. The vet was called and found that Secretariat had a case of "laminitis" - an inflammation of the sensitive plates of tissue in the hoof, usually causing lameness. It is one of the most serious equine hoof diseases and most painful. There is no known cure. Penny Chenery (Secretariat's owner) was called and told. Several vets were consulted and all agreed that the best thing to do was to put the horse down, rather than allow it to live a painful life.
Secretariat was destroyed on October 4, 1989 at the age of 19. He is buried at Claborne Farms in Paris, Kentucky with a headstone that simply says "SECRETARIAT March 30, 1970 - October 4, 1989". Normally when burying a horse - only the heart, the head and the 4 hoofs are buried and the remainder is cremated. Secretariat was given the honor of begin buried whole.
During Secretariat's necropsy, it was discovered that his heart weighed about 22 pounds. A normal horse heart weighs about 9 pounds. This was truly, the heart of a champion.
Secretariat won 16 of his 21 career races, with 3 second places and one third place - he finished "in the money" in 20 of his 21 races with total earnings of $3,316,808. His stud fees and rights were sold BEFORE he won the Triple Crown! The records that he set at the 1973 Kentucky Derby and the 1973 Preakness - still stand today!!

United States
In the United States, thoroughbred racehorses have a number tattooed inside their upper lip. The tattoo should be one letter followed by five numbers. Thoroughbreds older than 25 years old only have four numbers. You can research the tattoo number on the Jockey Club Registry website to get information about the horse's breeding and race record.
Some thoroughbreds also have microchip implants with identifying information, but you need to contact a veterinarian with a special chip reader to get the information. Microchips aren't required for registration in the US.
If you meant to ask how you can find a retired racehorse to buy, adopt or foster, there are several charitable organizations that place old racehorses in new homes for a small fee. You can get more information through The Jockey Club (the official breed registry), the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation and special charitable organizations that maintain websites dedicated to finding new homes for old racehorses.
CANTER is a non-profit that rescues ex race horses and adopts them out.

- 1 answer
The lead weights are put into the saddle pad in order to add weight to that of the jockey so they meet the impost set forth by the racing secretary. The impost is a weight assigned in handicapping races in an attempt to equalize the chances for all of the horses in the race. "Better" horses are assigned higher imposts.
Who is the fastest horse ever ridden?
- 1 answer
The answer is makibi Diva won Melbourne cup 3 times in a row
I don't believe that is the case. Yes she won 3 Melbourne Cups but does that mean she is the fastest? I don't think so. I think it might be either Man O' War or Secretariat. But Secretariat did win the Belmont Stakes in record time but I don't think there is any record of the fastest horse. Even if there was we would believe differently

How long is a horse race?
- 1 answer
It depends on how professional the horse is. Here is a example: (not a real horse)
Mr. HotShotHorse starts his 2 year old season (the year horses usually start racing) And the track is 1 mile or less. He wins all or most of the races and he gets to advance up in the ranks.
His 3 year old season, the track is 1 mile to 1 1/2
4 it might be 1 3/4 or maybe even up to 2 miles long, which is exactly why you want to breed a horse with great speed and a horse with great distance so the offspring will be fast and will not wear out quickly on long races.
Steeplechase horse will run over fences for a longer distance like 2 1/16 miles to 4 miles or sometimes longer.
What are race horse qualities?
- 1 answer
They are normally very "hot" as in they are very easily excitable-not all are, but most are. It is good to have log legs and a long body because this results in a longer stride. You also want a well sloping shoulder, because this helps get a long stride. And a will to win is a huge plus. Heart makes up for many conformation faults.

Why are horses legs taped for a race?
- 1 answer
The legs are taped because when horses are running their back legs come up and will sometimes clip the back of their front legs. So to prevent injury they tape legs.
Taping (rundown bandages) the back legs prevents injury to the back of the ankle. Rundown injuries are caused as the horse tires which results in the back of the ankle and sometimes fetlock being abraded by the track surface if it is not taped.
