With the Belmont Stakes this weekend, we fondly acknowledge Ron Turcotte, the Hall of Fame winning jockey. His remarkable finish aboard Secretariat in the 1973 Triple Crown, winning by an astounding 31 lengths and setting a course, stakes and track record which still stand today.
Ron Turcotte represents the pinnacle of success in the sport of thoroughbred racing. In a career spanning 17 years with more than 3000 victories, Turcotte is still renowned for his integrity and achievements, both on and off the track.
Born and raised in Canada, like the high-performance Semican hullfree oats which proudly bears his name, he remains the benchmark for excellence and the pride of the True North.
