Images of the famous race horse "Secretariat" are not that rare, the horse was the most famous figure in the world during the summer of 1973 and thousands of photographs were snapped. In every newspaper archive in America there are photographs of Secretariat. Finding photographs that off the original negative and are brand new discoveries? Now that is something entirely different! The offered image of Secretariat shows the horse on the verge of history as the winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, he had yet to run his famous finale at Belmont. A fantastic new discovery from local New York photographer Bill Meurer and with a full paper caption on the back, this is an important unique image that is being offered here for the first time ever!
