Eddie Sweat, the late, and truly great, groom was the man responsible for the daily care of the Meadow Racing Stable's finest runners. It was Eddie who knew both Secretariat (whom he affectionately called "Red") and Riva Ridge best, nurturing and watching over both talented champions from sunrise to sundown each day. His devotion and contributions to their successful careers and countless others simply cannot be overstated, and he is sorely missed by all who had the pleasure to know him.
We are proud to offer this selection of imagery capturing Eddie and his equine pals Secretariat and Riva Ridge, taken during the latter part of the racing season of 1973, prior to the end of their magnificent racing careers.
