Secretariat's triple crown win
1. Kentucky Derby (stakes record of 1:59.2, still standing)
2. Preakness Stakes (Daily Racing Form clockers claimed he established a new track record, but a malfunctioning official timer did not, and the clockers' time has not been officially recognized)
3. Belmont Stakes (track record of 2:24, still stands fastest time over 1.5 miles in history on a dirt track)
Secretariat won 6 races after his triple crown win
"Secretariat" was the eleventh option given to the Jockey Club and the first one that wasn't taken. The secretary for his breeder had worked for a secretariat before.
Secretariat was 19 when he was humanely put down because of complications from laminitis.
Well, the climax is usually the main turning point in which the main character takes action, so probably when the mom looks into the horses eyes when he acts sick. Or when the father dies, the family had to all of a sudden pay the 6 million $.
Secretariat, an American racehorse, was a Thoroughbred, a breed of horse that excels in sports (especially racing).
Brown was the coat colour of this amazing champion, but red was his racing colour.
They use carnations in colors of red and white, the Saratoga Race Track's colors. Carnations are chosen because they last long and hold up well and carnations are used on the Belmont blanket. The blanket is made the day before the race, coordinated by one person, florist, Susan Laing, who is assisted by dozens of volunteers. She started the floral blanket in 1993 because she felt that the oldest stakes race in North America deserved a floral blanket to adorn the winner.
A racing number normally depends on which race. Typically in largest races horses that are high in rank have the lower numbers. Usually horse will have different numbers every race. No specific number is assigned to one particular horse as they are in sports such as basketball or soccer.

Penny Chenery and John Bayard Tweedy did divorce because he went against her over the decision to race Secretariat.
Yes. Penny Tweedy divorced her husband of 18 years, Jack Tweedy, shortly after Secretariat won the triple crown in 1973. She later remarried to a man named Rinquist, but that marriage failed as well.
Secretariat's stride was measured at nearly 25 feet.This one of the longest ever recorded,Man O' War was also measured at that distance.Secretariat was probably the greatest thoroughbred ever.
Secretariat, one of the most loved and followed thoroughbreds of all time, with career earnings of over $1.3 million, sired over 500 foals. None of them have reached the fame that Secretariat did, and there may still be foals to come as before his death, his owners harvested sperm to freeze. The latest foal in the news was Kristin Ann, rescued from starvation in 2008. The entire nation mourned when Secretariat died in 1989, as he had almost become a national treasure.

For the most part, but as per usual in Hollywood, some pertinent facts were skewed or omitted. Examples:
In the movie, the success of Secretariat saves the Meadow Farms horse breeding operation from financial ruin. In reality, the year before, another Meadow Stable runner, Riva Ridge, won the Derby and Belmont to save the farm. Secretariat won horse of the year two years in a row, and the Triple Crown in 1973. But the movie does not mention Riva at all.
Frank Martin is portrayed as a loud mouth braggart, when he was in fact a nice fellow, but did back Sham to the max.
Lucien Laurin is portrayed as a screwball, wearing pimp clothes, and a failed golfer. Laurin was in fact a conservative dresser, and was an avid fisherman, never played one hole of golf.
There was no mention of Penny's sister, Mrs Carmichael, who was very involved in getting the farm back on its feet.
