Answer 1

Here are a couple more links that may help you track some info on him.  www.allbreedpedigree.com

www.qhd.com

Answer 2

www.equineline.com   You can get all your information on the horse at this website including races ran, earning, pedigree etc.

Answer 3

I know on the Standard-bred web site ( USTA ), they have a pay link called Pathway. You can look up everything about a horse just by entering his name. I don't know, but maybe the Thoroughbreds have a similar service. It might be worth your while to look into.

Answer 4

firstly, Secritariat did not win the derby, he won the triple crown, which incluedes the derby.

call or e-mail, or wright a letter to the NTRA or the jocjey's club, they have all the records, tell them his name, and if he ever did race there should be a number tattooed to his upper lip, or on  his neck, but the lip is more common. tell them that number.

boy u r lucky!

i'd give anything for a Secritariat colt!

e-mail me, we got to talk!

Answer 7

Check with the horse racing hall of fame.

They have a web site, and great history on horses,jockeys and

trainers..Its very cool

Answer 8

The Jockey Club is a start, because the name is registered and then with that web site you can start the process of working back through the bloodline, sire - dam, etc. The tattoo is an ID that can begin that process, also, through the Jockey Club.
