pWotD Episode 2924: Secretariat (horse) Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 173,513 views on Sunday, 4 May 2025 our article of the day is Secretariat (horse).Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989), also known as Big Red, was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse who was the ninth winner of the American Triple Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three of its constituent races. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. He became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and his record-breaking victory in the Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths, is often considered the greatest race ever run by a thoroughbred racehorse. During his racing career, he won five Eclipse Awards, including Horse of the Year honors at ages two and three. He was nominated to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974. In the Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U. S. Racehorses of the 20th Century, Secretariat was second to Man o' War.At age two, Secretariat finished fourth in his 1972 debut in a maiden race, but then won seven of his remaining eight starts, including five stakes victories. His only loss during this period was in the Champagne Stakes, where he finished first but was disqualified to second for interference. He received the Eclipse Award for champion two-year-old colt, and also was the 1972 Horse of the Year, a rare honor for a horse so young.At age three, Secretariat not only won the Triple Crown, but he also set speed records in all three races. His time in the Kentucky Derby still stands as the Churchill Downs track record for 1+1⁄4 miles, and his time in the Belmont Stakes stands as the American record for 1+1⁄2 miles on the dirt. In 2012, his actual time of 1:53 in the Preakness Stakes was recognized as a stakes record after an official review.Secretariat's win in the Gotham Stakes tied the track record for 1 mile, he set a world record in the Marlboro Cup at 1+1⁄8 miles and further proved his versatility by winning two major stakes races on turf. He lost three times that year: in the Wood Memorial, Whitney, and Woodward Stakes, but the brilliance of his nine wins made him an American icon. He won his second Horse of the Year title, plus Eclipse Awards for champion three-year-old colt and champion turf horse.At the beginning of his three-year-old year, Secretariat was syndicated for a record-breaking $6.08 million (equivalent to $43.1 million in 2024), on the condition that he be retired from racing by the end of the year. Although he sired several successful racehorses, he ultimately was most influential through his daughters' offspring, becoming the leading broodmare sire in North America in 1992. His daughters produced several notable sires, including Storm Cat, A. P. Indy, Gone West, Dehere, Summer Squall, and Chief's Crown, and through them Secretariat appears in the pedigree of many modern champions. Secretariat died in 1989 as a result of laminitis at age 19.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:07 UTC on Monday, 5 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Secretariat (horse) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Russell.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty welcomes Paul Edwards, a former horse trainer with a unique journey. Paul shares how he got into horse training at a young age, working with racehorses and later training Arabians, eventually helping horses win national titles. Despite the glamor that may seem attached to the profession, Paul reveals the gritty reality of the life of a trainer, including long, grueling hours and building repetitive habits in horses over months. His dedication led him to some unforgettable experiences, including meeting amazing people and getting invited to a wedding at Ranger Stadium. Throughout their conversation, Paul emphasizes the importance of hard work and consistency in both horse training and life. He explains that successful trainers are not necessarily the most talented, but the ones who work the hardest, often waking up at 3 AM to ensure the horses are properly prepared. He also touches on the strong bond between a rider and their horse, sharing stories of how his training helped kids and families achieve success in the show ring. Paul reflects on his work with Ty's daughter, Cyrus, and how she grew in her horsemanship. Paul's transition from horse training to working in medical sales showcases his adaptability and dedication to learning. Although he's no longer in the horse training world, he continues to coach young riders and volunteers his time to help those in need. This conversation serves as a reminder that whether in horses or any profession, success requires patience, determination, and a willingness to put in the work.   As always, we would like to hear from you!

Rachel is both a racing 'insider' and an academic - she has worked in horse racing for over 20 years and she obtained her PhD from the University of Bristol in 2023 for her work developing a racehorse welfare assessment protocol. This welfare assessment has been trialled by industry assessors to gather population level racehorse welfare data. The welfare assessment has also been used to monitor the welfare of Military Working horses from the Household Cavalry and racehorses in Hong Kong.  In this episode we talk about the practicalities of racehorse welfare assessment, the small changes that can result in big improvements, and the importance how young Thoroughbreds are managemed on stud farms to set them up for a good life in racing. Rachel is currently an Equine Technologist at CAFRE (College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland and is a post-doctoral researcher at University College Dublin (UCD).   Rachel's research output is available on ResearchGate

Jeffrey founded Equine Biomechanics & Exercise Physiology (EQB), which helps HNWIs and entrepreneurs looking to enter the horse racing business pick and manage young, unraced thoroughbred horses that may become champions. Jeffrey has spent millions, including $7M+ of his own money, researching and refining the science of picking a champion racehorse for more than four decades and has grown EQB to be one of the USA's leading talent scout buyers for young unraced thoroughbred horses.   They helped one of their clients go from start-up to the leading USA racing stable in 4 years with a profit! This was even before the client made $50M+ from a racehorse they selected that won several world championships and became the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years. Several other clients have also had world champions.    Jeffrey disrupted the horse racing industry by developing a quantitative approach to finding the best racehorses, much of which has now been widely copied. His approach pre-dates and is similar to the one depicted in the Brad Pitt movie Moneyball, in which Pitt analyzes baseball players using biometric measurements at rest and while running and the type of equations and statistics to demonstrate their value and project their potential accomplishments. The data includes slow-motion films, organ scans, DNA markers, etc.    On the podcast, Jeffrey discusses:   How exhilarating the racehorse game can be, and the associated lifestyle and personal associations involved. Racehorse investments compare to traditional investments (real estate, stocks, precious metals, etc). How to become a thoroughbred owner without breaking the bank, including owning a fractional share of a championship-winning racehorse, what to know before buying a thoroughbred, and how much it costs. A description of the research methodologies behind finding and separating the good horses from the great ones. New racehorse selection technologies and the state of the industry's agents and consultants: the good, the bad, and the ugly.   To get a sense of Jeffrey, here's an episode he did with The Meb Faber Show, where he talked about whether a racehorse's winning metrics are more important than training. Equine Biometrics and the Triple Crown Challenge EQB, Jeffrey's company, specialized in equine biometrics, achieved significant milestones, such as being the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years after spending millions on research over 35 years in thoroughbred horse racing and breeding. Jeffrey shared how he became involved in the unpredictable sport after falling in love with a horse on a blind date. Michael drew parallels between winning a Triple Crown and other sports' challenges. Jeffrey attributed his success to using data and scientists. Jeffrey's Journey From Harvard to Horse Racing Success Jeffrey shared his journey from being a Harvard student to falling in love with horse racing. He initially studied law and business, but his passion for horse racing led him to research the sport's history and management. Despite facing challenges, he pursued his dream and eventually became successful in the field. He also mentioned his experience at Citibank, where he quit his job to pursue his passion for horse racing. Innovative Methods and Opportunities in Horse-Raising Industry Jeffrey expressed frustration with the lack of acceptance of his innovative methods in the horse-raising industry and the prevalence of misinformation. He suggested that small groups could benefit from his expertise and technology, making the industry a lucrative business for those with the right resources. Jeffrey also highlighted the irrationality of the industry as an opportunity. Michael and Jeffrey discussed their experiences as entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and passion, and using examples like a car salesman's spreadsheet database and a fisherman prioritizing family over wealth. They discussed the potential for horse racing to grow, become more accessible, and drive economic stimulation and fan engagement, likening it to high-profile sports events and highlighting the life-changing impact of owning a racing team. Exploring Horse Racing Innovations and DNA Applications Jeffrey shared his experiences of discovering new methods and technologies in the field of horse racing, including inventing the first accurate heart rate meter for racehorses and creating a portable ultrasound machine. He emphasized the importance of curiosity and questioning established knowledge, as he found that many experts in the field were unaware of certain resources and equipment. Jeffrey also discussed his work with DNA, highlighting the potential for early identification of promising horses and the importance of accurate data in AI applications. He criticized the current trend of marketing DNA testing for speed in horses, arguing that it oversimplifies the complex factors involved in horse racing. EQB, Equine Biometrics, and Racehorse Business Jeffrey and Michael discussed Jeffrey's company, EQB, which focuses on equine biometrics. Jeffrey shared his company's website, email, and the availability of their research papers. He also emphasized the importance of understanding the racehorse business, which he described as serious and competitive.
