Dave Palone Part 1-- A Day in the Life -- Hoof Beats 2012 [13:21]
The Hoof Beats crew spent the day (Tuesday May 15th) with driver Dave Palone and his family. We followed Dave from his house to lunch to "The Meadows" then back home for dinner and a ride in their arena with the kids. We picked an interesting day to go with Dave as he didn't win the number of races he usually does, but that just shows he doesn't always get the best drives or win all the time. This is part 1 of 3.

Secretariat At Play [01:34]
This is a short clip of the 12 year old Secretariat running for enjoyment at Claiborne Farm. In 1973 Secretariat became the first US Triple Crown champion in 25 years, setting race records in all three events in the Series—the Kentucky Derby (1:59.4), the Preakness Stakes (1:53) and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) - records that still stand today. He is considered to be one of the greatest thoroughbreds of all time. Secretariat was conceived in Kentucky and born in Doswell Virginia on March 29th, 1970. Secretariat died on October 4th, 1989 at Paris, Kentucky. The race horse was euthanized at age 19 due to laminitis, a hoof condition. Secretariat was given the honor of being buried whole in the Claiborne cemetery. It is traditional for horses to be buried "head, heart, and hooves", but certain special horses deserve special treatment.
