Every horse in the 2025 Kentucky Derby shares one legendary bloodline—Secretariat’s.
All 21 contenders in this year’s Run for the Roses are descendants of the iconic Triple Crown champion, 52 years after his historic 1973 sweep. Secretariat’s racing records in the Derby, Preakness, and Belmont still stand today, and his genetic legacy lives on through more than 660 registered foals he sired. Known for his massive heart—literally and figuratively—Secretariat isn’t just a part of horse racing history… he is horse racing history. No matter who wins this year, Big Red wins again.
