Ron Turcotte: RIP

<![CDATA[Jockey Ron Turcotte, the last living connection to the great racehorse Secretariat, died recently in New Brunswick, Canada, at the age of 84. For a generation of people, Secretariat was the super horse that got them hooked on the sport of kings. A friend of mine became a lifelong fan after climbing a telephone pole to catch a glimpse of Secretariat winning the Kentucky Derby. Disney even made a successful Hollywood film about the horse some called Big Red.]]>
