Since he is really famous there are probably various statues of him through the country. This particular one is located in the paddock of Belmont Park, in Elmont, NY.

I think secretariat was stabled in Kentucky during his final years, there might be a statue of him in that farm. But I can't really remember that name of the farm, but if someday you're around Kentucky you should check it out.

Thanks. I did go with my dad to the KY horse park. They had one of him and his trainer and jocky there but it wasn't the one I was looking for, still trying to figure that one out.LOL. I'll prolly just have to start looking stuff up, and checking around KY for info. Thanks so much.

In wikipedia it says that Secretariat was stabled in Claiborne farms during his last few years and is also buried there. There might be something of interest there too.

Wow, you really know this stuff, thanks for all the info, and for taking the time to find it, it's really helped me. I'm hoping here soon, my family and I can take a few days and go see and visit these places.

You really know how to get to me, don't you? I love this horse. I once practically wallpapered my room with photos of him. His story is timeless, his inspiration great. I was devastated to learn that he had died just months after I was born. I'd give almost anything to see him run and to place a kiss on that velvety muzzle. Awesome shot. This one's def. going into the faves.

I'm sorry I never replied to your comment. Secretariat was an awesome horse, I kinda cry a bit bit when watching his Belmont Stakes, it's was just sooooo awesome.

Love the statue. The b&w really adds emphasis to it.

Yeah, I think it also brings a nostalgic feel to it, which is kind adequate since we are talking about Secretariat.
