I don't see "Secretariat" in his pedi. All I see that you might men is "Seattle Slew".

Edit: But it could just be me.

I am also not seeing Secretariat...

Some big names i do see:

Tapit, Unbridleds Song and further back Mr. Prospecter, Northern Dancer, and Seattle Slew.

Yeah, idk.

If you go back farther than what it shows in the first pedigree, you'll find Weekend Surprise is a Secretariat baby. It's on his Dam's side I believe

Thank you :)

Hes gorgeous. Your so lucky to have him. :)

So.. he's also related to American Pharaoh then. Shame he broke his leg, we could have had another Triple Crown winner!

You might want to start slowly retraining him, because racehorses are taught that when you pull they should run faster. Not the most fun thing to happen when you're running at a barrel and pulling back a little, trying to turn it, LOL

Not entirely true. I don't know your experience, but having worked with graded stakes horses I can assure you this has some true to it and some falseness. Racehorses tend to pull against the bit, so they do run faster, but only with a shorter rein. If you go to the track, notice at the end of the race the jockeys sit up and pull - the horse slows. So long as you're sitting up and pulling (using your seat helps too) the OTTB will slow. :)

I wouldn't suggest using a horse who has fractured a hind leg for another heavy duty speed event - barrel racing. Poor dude would probably do much better with some chill flat work/trails if he even recovers enough to be sound let alone ridden again...

I Agree, :)
