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.

Before Rachel Alexandra went on to defeat males in the Preakness, Haskell, and Woodward Stakes as a three-year-old filly in 2009, Hal Wiggins had trained her to record-setting Kentucky Oaks glory for her breeder Dolphus Morrison. Wiggins is now retired from racing and living in Texas away from the racetrack but still takes a keen interest in Rachel Alexandra and her offspring who both won races this summer at Saratoga Race Course with Rachel's Valentina doing something not even Rachel Alexandra did: Win a Grade 1 race as a two-year-old!

Ed DeRosa of TwinSpires.com and Danny Zucker of PredictionMachine.com focus on the Breeders' Cup Classic division with a discussion on American Pharoah's upset in the Travers Stakes on August 29 as well as the upcoming Woodward Stakes on September 5 both at Saratoga Race Course.  

Ed DeRosa & Dan Zucker take an in-depth, horse by horse, look at the Woodward Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course. Last week's Travers Stakes podcast had all sorts of things right about that race: Wicked Strong as a top contender, V.E. Day as a live longshot, Bayern as a play against at the price, and Tonalist as going the wrong way and not a contender for win spot. V.E. Day nosed out Wicked Strong at 19.5-to-1 to key a $83.75 exacta while favored Bayern finished last.
