Here you go RickO.
The real story behind Secretariat starts in 1969, 4-years before the horse galloped it's way to the Triple Crown. Penny Chenery of Meadow Stable and Ogden Phipps of Wheatley Stable flipped a coin for first pick of two foals sired by prominent racehorse Bold Ruler. Phipps won and picked a philly born from Bold Ruler and a mare named Hasty Matelda. That left Chenery with the yet-unborn foal of Bold Ruler and Something Royal- a colt that would be named Secretariat at 2 years old, win the Triple Crown and at 3, and have a heart nearly 4-times the size of a normal horse. Secretariat's performance at the Belmont Stakes ranks 2nd on the list of top 100 greatest individual performances ever, with only Wilt Chamberlain hitting the century mark surpassing it.
