Now at the Spendthrift farm of B. Wayne Hughes, Notional is the sire to watch. "Flash" (the barn nickname) hails from a top female family with damsires like Pleasant Colony, Seattle Slew, and Northern Dancer.

Secretariat - Part 5 [06:10]
Secretariat (March 30, 1970 October 4, 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse, who in 1973 became the first US Triple Crown champion in twenty-five years, setting new race records in two of the three events in the Series - the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) - records that still stand today. Secretariat was the son of Bold Ruler out of Somethingroyal. He was born at Meadow Farm in Caroline County, Virginia. Secretariat was a large chestnut colt and was given the nickname, "Big Red." Owned by Penny Chenery (aka Penny Tweedy), he was trained by Canadian Lucien Laurin and mainly ridden by jockey Ron Turcotte, along with apprentice jockey Paul Feliciano and veteran Eddie Maple. He raced in Penny Chenery's Meadow Stable's blue and white checkered colors. He was approximately 16 hands 2 inches tall, and weighed 1175 pounds in his racing prime.

Like the equally famous horse Man o' War, Secretariat was a large chestnut colt and was given the same nickname, "Big Red." Owned by Penny Chenery (aka Penny Tweedy), he was trained by Lucien Laurin and mainly ridden by fellow Canadian jockey Ron Turcotte, along with apprentice jockey Paul Feliciano (first two races), and veteran Eddie Maple (last race). He raced in Penny Chenery's Meadow Stable's blue and white checkered colors and his groom was Eddie Sweat. The story of Secretariat began with the toss of a coin in 1968 between Christopher Chenery of Meadow Stables and Ogden Phipps of Wheatley Stable. The idea of a coin toss came from Phipps, the owner of Bold Ruler, and Bull Hancock of Claiborne Farms as a way to get the very best mares for Bold Ruler, and when the toss went their way, to add well-bred fillies to their own broodmare band. Bold Ruler was considered one of the important stallions of his time. He had a fine balance between speed and stamina, having had a frontrunning style but the stamina to go 1 1/4 miles; he finished 3rd in the 1957 ...
