The Secretariat Photos you see on these pages are the absolute finest quality. They are from the original New York Race Track Association (NYRA) track photographer, Bob Coglianese’s original negatives. They are printed by Bob Coglianese to his highest standards.

My brother Bob and I were privileged to spend time with Secretariat while he was at stud at Claiborne Farm on several occasions. He stood at stud with other great stallions of the time including Reviewer, Forli, Riva Ridge, Sir Ivor, Damascus and Bagdad. I was at most of Secretariat’s races in New York and was in personal attendance at his three Triple Crown races.
