Meadow Farm Birthplace of Secretariat ND10 |

|
This famouse horsebreeding farm was established in 1936 by Christopher T. Chenery and continued under the management of his daugher, Helen Penny Chenery until 1979. Secretariat (1970-1989), also known as Big Red, was born and trained here. A bright chestnut stallion with a white star and narrow stripe, he was a horse of uncommon excellence as he proved when he captured the Triple Crown in 1973. His win at the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths won him the love and admiration of the nation. Other notable Thoroughbreds such as Riva Ridge, Hill Prince and First Landing also were raised at Meadow Farm.
