SECRETARIAT’S JOCKEY RON TURCOTTE HEADLINING BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION MARCH 27-29 AT THE MEADOW EVENT PARK 
Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte, who piloted Secretariat to his historic Triple Crown victory in 1973, will headline the annual Secretariat Birthday Celebration at The Meadow March 27-29. Joining Turcotte at Secretariat’s birthplace will be Charlie Davis, who galloped “Big Red” as his exercise rider; acclaimed author Bill Nack, whose book Secretariat – The Making of a Champion served as inspiration for Disney’s major motion film Secretariat; and Kate Chenery Tweedy, daughter of Penny Chenery and co-author of Secretariat’s Meadow – The Land, The Family, The Legend.
“I am always happy to come back to The Meadow,” said Turcotte. “I’m really looking forward to seeing all the Virginia fans.” Read more here.
