The date of the passing for the 'Voice' of the 1973 Triple Crown races is tomorrow. Chic Anderson left us way too soon on March 24, 1979. He was only 47 years old!

So sorry that the birthday celebration for Secretariat had to be cancelled this month. The 50th year anniversary of Secretariat's birth is only going to come around this one time. Who could have ever imagined 50 years ago that the world would be in such a mess?!? We all have a lot on our minds right now, but thoughts and memories of Secretariat persist. The faithful will never forget!
Stay safe everyone!
Stay safe everyone!

I have been a big racing fan all my life. Been to many Kentucky Derby's with my good friend Dallas Stewart. As a New Orleans Mounted Police Officer for many years, I was lucky too have one of Secretariat's grandsons as a police mount. He was Satan's War, bred in Louisiana and won several allowance races in Louisiana and Arkansas. In 2003 I met Tony Leonard at the Kentucky Horse Park. During that time we went too the Claiborne Farm, got to meet the Hancock Family. The following year Tony and his wife came to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. He gave me his entire collection of Secretariat photographs. What great memories.

Remembering one of Secretariat's Team Members today...the "Groom" Charlie Davis. Charles passed two years ago today in 2018. He had just turned 78 years old a few days earlier.
The faithful will never forget!
RIP Charlie

Yesterday 'the Groom' Charlie Davis would have turned 80 years old. He was born in 1940.
Tomorrow 'the Storyteller' Bill Nack would have turned 79 years old. He was born in 1941.
The 'Devine Wonder' Secretariat brought these 2 men together, and neither of their lives would ever be the same.
May all 3 of these souls Rest In Peace.

Just got my long-awaited calendar yesterday and I have to say, I was well worth the wait! The inserts...a beautiful color phot as well as a stunning post-size picture with stats on the back were a pleasant surprise.
When I opened the calendar I got sort of teary-eyed as I leaned on the spirit of Secretariat as my mother failed in health. It's only a few days away from the 4th anniversary of her death and the link between Secretariat and that time is still strong for me. When I wept at his grave the fall after she passed, I wept for Secretariat and my mother...and it seems I will continue to do so...

Never to be forgotten, RIP Barbaro
