Cut and paste: IN MEMORY OF RON 💔
🏇 Ron Turcotte and Secretariat: A Bond Forged in Greatness
Ron Turcotte, the legendary jockey of Secretariat, will forever be linked to one of the most iconic achievements in horse racing: the 1973 Triple Crown. But what made this partnership so extraordinary? How did Turcotte help guide Big Red through three record-breaking victories and into immortality?
🧠 A Connection Beyond the Saddle
Turcotte first saw Secretariat in early 1972 and was immediately captivated. However, he did not ride him in the horse’s debut. Secretariat made his first start on July 4, 1972, at Aqueduct, finishing fourth under jockey Paul Feliciano.
Turcotte climbed aboard for the third start .
“He was magnificent… love at first sight. Every morning I’d greet him by shaking his tongue like a handshake—‘Good morning, Secretariat.’”
That routine, and the growing trust between man and horse, laid the foundation for history.
🏇 The Kentucky Derby: A Masterclass in Patience
At the Kentucky Derby on May 5, 1973, Turcotte executed a perfect strategy: he held Secretariat back early, then unleashed his full power down the stretch. Secretariat won in a blazing 1:59 2⁄5, a track record that still stands.
“I only used the whip briefly in the Derby to get him to switch leads in the stretch. He did, and then I put the whip away. He galloped to the wire.”
⚡ The Preakness Stakes: Seizing Control
In the Preakness, Turcotte made a bold early move around the first turn,unusual for the time,taking command and dictating the pace. Secretariat won comfortably, despite controversy over the official time. Independent timers recorded 1:53, which would have been another stakes record.
“By making my move early, I could control the race and rate him the way I wanted. I could’ve won by 10 lengths or more.”
🌟 The Belmont Stakes: The Run of a Lifetime
On June 9, 1973, at Belmont Park, Turcotte put Secretariat on the lead from the start. The plan was clear: stay ahead and let the colt run naturally. The only real challenge came from Sham, who kept pace early but faded dramatically.
“I expected Sham to press us, and he did… until the three-quarter pole. But Secretariat was relaxed,just floating.”

Sham faded to finish last in a field of five. Twice a Prince finished second, a staggering 31 lengths behind Secretariat. It remains the widest margin of victory in Belmont Stakes history, and the time of 2:24 flat still stands as the fastest 1½ miles ever run on dirt.

“I glanced at the infield clock,every fraction was a track record. Secretariat was making history with every stride.”
❤️ A Bond That Never Broke
Turcotte often recalls the emotion behind the records.
“I knew what I had under me. He was calm, powerful, and every step felt effortless. Secretariat didn’t run to escape,he ran to rule.”
Even after retirement, Secretariat recognized Turcotte's whistle and would walk straight to him, tongue out, as they had done every morning before their gallops.

🎤 Conclusion: A Ride That Transcended Sport

Ron Turcotte’s rides on Secretariat were not just victories,they were strategic masterpieces rooted in trust and understanding. His timing, intuition, and calm guidance allowed Big Red to show the world what greatness looked like.
“Secretariat was the greatest. But even the greatest needs someone who understands him.”
And that someone was Ron Turcotte.
R.I.P. RON

Today, a Sublette County grand jury delivered a landmark “true bill,” indicting Cody Roberts on a felony cruelty-to-animals charge for the brutal killing of a young wolf pup—a decision that carries up to two years in prison and sends a clear message that deliberate cruelty toward wolves can no longer be swept aside.
This historic ruling reverberates across state lines into Montana, where wolves have too often been relegated to the status of “predators” and left outside the reach of basic animal-cruelty statutes. Yet these animals are far more than targets: they are keystone species whose return to landscapes from Yellowstone’s winding rivers to the Bitterroot’s forested slopes restores ecological balance—improving water quality, bolstering biodiversity, and curbing overgrazing in ways that benefit ranchers, recreationists, and rural communities alike.
By insisting that cruelty laws apply equally to wolves, Wyoming’s grand jury has shattered the barrier that once shielded violent acts from accountability. This outcome underscores a simple truth: effective wildlife management must be informed by science and guided by compassion. Montana’s own wildlife policies should mirror this shift.
Now is the moment for Montanans to carry this precedent forward, urging the Fish and Wildlife Commission to oppose extreme killing quotas and inhumane management protocols. More than a legal milestone, this indictment is a spark for a new era of wildlife stewardship in our region—one where empathy and evidence walk hand in hand.
