The stories surrounding Secretariat and his love affair with the camera are well known. His intelligent and charismatic nature are front and center in this charming image as his inquisitive gaze is focused on the photographer. From the wisp of chestnut forelock tumbling over his famous white striped blaze to the numerous and endearing chin whiskers, Big Red looked every bit the part of an equine matinee idol.
Produced from the original negative on a special lustrous metallic archival photography stock, this unique development process allows the distinctive color and sheen of the chestnut champion known as Big Red to virtually glimmer. Each 8" x 10" photo in the individually numbered edition of 250 total pieces is hand-signed in gold by Secretariat's luminary Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte and arrives ready to frame in a classic double-black acid-free matting. Display measures 11 x 14" in total including matting.
