  • This feature-length documentary tells the story of jockey Ron Turcotte, who, along with his legendary horse Secretariat, won the prestigious American Triple Crown in 1973. Follow along as we witness Turcotte’s rise to fame, the fall in 1978 that left him a paraplegic and his emotional journey back to the people and places that marked his life. This is a road movie that delves deep into the thrilling and dangerous world of horseracing, featuring never-before-seen footage of Secretariat and appearances by Triple Crown winners Steve Cauthen and Jean Cruguet.

    Ron was a courageous gentlemen and greatest jockey. Ron and Secretariat were a perfect duo and picture of perfection. I’m so sorry for his tragic accident.

    Belmont, Secretariat decided it was his race, Ron Turcotte was only there for the ride.

    I feel so bad for Sham, for how he suffered under the whip. He was a very good horse and if I were the owner I would not have allowed that kind of whipping.

      I feel bad for Sham too. I wish he had a wonderful human team like Secretariat did. Hopefully he had a better time in retirement.
