1973 Important and beautiful full-color photograph by Caufield and Shook (the official photographers of the Kentucky Derby) and showing the famous race horse "Secretariat" at the finish line of the Kentucky Derby. The photo was linen backed and mounted into a photo-album by the photographer and presented to the track superintendent at Churchill Downs in 1973. We removed this image and soaked the linen backing off (still present and will come with the image), which revealed the important Kodak watermarks which will cement this as a Type 1 from PSA. We also have the original album cover and documentation if the buyer wishes to have photographs for provenance. This is only the second full-color image of "Secretariat" at the finish line we have ever seen (first of this shot) and it is being offered here for the first time ever!
