Secretariat Big Red Mug

The new Big Red Derby Call Mug commemorates the racing history made during the 1973 running of the Kentucky Derby. On that first Saturday in May exactly 45 years ago, Secretariat's immortal Run for the Roses would be the fastest in the 144-year storied history of the race. Breaking last in the field of eleven, the Meadow Stable colt with jockey Ron Turcotte aboard launched a sustained last-to-first performance in the classic, unprecedentedly racing racing each successive quarter mile faster than the previous, before crossing the wire in the track record of 1:59 2/5 which still exists today!
