21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The Last Daughter of Secretariat

I met Secretariats last living daughter back in June of 2023. These are some of the last photographs of her, as she passed away a month later at the age of 34. "Trusted Company" as she was called wasn't much of a race horse in her career. When I met her - her body was clearly becoming weaker and weaker in her old age. She remained stoic much like her father. She seemed to like the camera being on her, but she didn't care for all the attention. She would much rather be grazing in the pasture with her friends.
