The Maker's Mark Secretariat Center is a Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) facility located in the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. We are a showcase facility for the Thoroughbred athlete, and are dedicated to the re-schooling and adoption of sound, sane ex-racehorses. We are also committed to education: we have an undergraduate internship program and are developing a volunteer certification program. This blog publicizes unofficial weekly updates on our horses and our programs. For more information, visit http://www.thoroughbredadoption.com/

New Artwork in the Office

Matthew Williams was generous enough to donate a beautiful painting of our namesake. It is a breathtaking portrait of Secretariat in his quintessential win in the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths, capturing the historical moment of Ron Turcotte looking back to try and find the rest of the field. The painting was done by Kentuckian equine artist Henry Koehler.

Come and see this gorgeous painting hanging in our office at the Kentucky Horse Park. And if you’re here already, come see all our wonderful horses available for adoption.
