Secretariats last race - Victory for the greatest horse in modern times [03:10]
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.

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.

Changeintheweather [04:48]
Changeintheweather, a Grade 1 winner at two, is an eye-catching son of Gone West. He has everything that horsemen look for in a stallion - pedigree, good looks, and that all-important element, speed. Changeintheweather demolished a field of two-year-olds, romping home by 10 lengths in a maiden special event. "He is the only Group 1 winning son of Gone West standing in Australia, and one of the very few stallions standing in Queensland that is a Group 1 winning 2YO," said Stud Manager Jeff Marlow, of Merlo Downs Stud, Rockhampton, Australia.
