A Place to Stand

Ms. Penny Chenery is pleased to announce that the Secretariat Bronze and Inner Circle pavers have been installed at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. Since unveiling the statue in July 2004, much time and effort has been dedicated to find a place to stand at the Park for this magnificent bronze.

To celebrate this accomplishment, Penny, along with jockey Ron Turcotte and Secretariat's Meadow Stable exercise riders Charlie Davis and Jim Gaffney were at the Park to take part in a dedication ceremony on April 8th, 2006. Afterwards, they were available to sign autographs and to personally thank all who gave so generously to make this dream a reality.

It was a moment of excitement and achievement - one that allowed all present the chance to celebrate this accomplishment with the Secretariat team and share their own personal memories of Big Red.
