Join us to watch the true story of horseracing legend Secretariat! He won three very important horse races, called the Triple Crown in 1973—and he set a track record in every race that stands today. Secretariat was born and raised in Virginia. This horse from Virginia is regarded as the greatest racehorse of all time. Disney did a wonderful job of telling the story of the horse and his owner Penny Chenery.
A giant bronze sculpture of Secretariat is going to be arriving in Middleburg on August 8th and will be staying for a couple of days at the National Sporting Library. Hope you get a chance to see it too!
Proceeds from the Secretariat movie tonight benefit the Middleburg Community Center and Loudoun Therapeutic Riding.
