On this day, October 28, 1973, Secretariat ran victorious in the Canadian Stakes at Toronto’s Woodbine Racetrack by six lengths ending a 21-race career with16 triumphs, four placings and $1.3 million prize money.

That 1973 was his year was further confirmed by his sweeping the Triple Crown – Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes – and several others, thus, becoming the world’s most celebrated thoroughbred as well as crowning himself “King of the Turf.”
