Secretariat 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Horse Toy Model - 14.25 x 9

Secretariat, affectionately known as "Big Red," is undoubtedly one of the most renowned racehorses in history. In 1973, the chestnut stallion captivated the hearts of the nation, etching his name in racing lore. That year, he not only won the Kentucky Derby, but also set a speed record of 1:59 2/5, a mark that still stands today. Continuing his dominance, Secretariat handily won the Preakness Stakes, once again setting a new record.

However, it was at the Belmont Stakes where Secretariat truly cemented his legacy. Not only did he become the first horse to win the Triple Crown in 25 years, but he also shattered records, winning the race by an astounding 31 lengths – a world record that remains unbroken. Secretariat's triumph forever immortalized the names of his owner, Penny Chenery, jockey Ron Turcotte, and trainer Lucien Laurin in the annals of racing history.

Now, 50 years after Secretariat's iconic Triple Crown victory, Breyer commemorates this momentous occasion with a special limited-edition model. This exquisite figurine has been meticulously crafted and painted a glossy metallic gold, accentuated by Secretariat's distinctive white blaze and leg markings. Adorned with a beautiful rose garland, this shining emblem of racing history is a true testament to the stallion's enduring legacy.
