The Secretariat Foundation created a special Penny Chenery Memorial Donation Fund on behalf of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, and the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation. These were charities closest to Penny’s heart, and the Secretariat Foundation is very grateful to her fans’ willingness to honor her legacy through their generous donations.
