Secretariat won the triple crown in 1973. He was the 9th horse to do so in 25 years.
Why is it said secretariat is buried at belmont?
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!! Secretariat is considered by most racing breeders as the greatest race horse that ever lived.
Did secretariat have offspring?
Yes, after racing, in retirement, he was put to stud.
As part of his first crop at stud, Secretariat sired Canadian Bound, who was the first Thoroughbred yearling racehorse ever sold for more than US$1 million.
It is worth what somebody will pay for it. There were approximately $5000 uncashed tickets, some were probably lost. Could speculate that someone might pay up $10,000 for the ticket, but that does not mean it is worth that much. Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Good luck in finding one; they are few and far between, and have not seen to many of them for sale.
Did any of Secretariat's foals win one of the Triple Crown races?

Lady's Secret who was the 1986 Horse of the Year.

Not the first time I've run into a nameless piece of music from a composer, used in TV or film.
It is clearly a cover version of Tomorrow Never Knows by the Beatles. I just don't know by whom.
Is Secretariat jockey paul feliciano filipino?
No. It was Ron Turcott
Wrong!
Paul Feliciano was an apprentice and contract rider for Lucien Laurin and rode Secretariat in his first two races as a two year old at Aqueduct.
On July 4, 1972 at Aqueduct, Secretariat's first race, Ron Turcotte was at Monmouth Park riding Summer Guest in the Monmouth Oaks.
Turcotte was injured in a spill a few days before Secretariat's second race and first win on July 15th.
Eddie Maple also rode Secretariat in his last race at Woodbine because Ron Turcotte was suspended for a racing incident.
I do not know what Paul's nationality was.

In the Whitney, the horse came down with a fever the day after, probably contributing to his lackluster performance in the race.
