And here's a fix for you until the Run for the Roses.
A new exhibit at Louisville's Kentucky Derby Museum celebrates the life of Triple Crown phenomenon Secretariat.
This year marks 50 years since the historic when Kentucky additions Kelsey Starks takes us there.
He is still considered the greatest racehorse to have ever lived.
And this year, the Kentucky Derby celebrates 50 years since Secretariat's historic Kentucky Derby win and Triple Crown sweep.
He didn't just win the Triple Crown.
He set records in every race that still stand today.
No horse has touched his records.
It's the stuff of legends and the Kentucky Derby Museum's new state of the art exhibit explores them all in a 1000 square foot permanent exhibit.
That's more than seven times the size of the horse's tribute on the first floor.
The exhibit explores Secretariat's life and racing career with curated artifacts from the horse's closest connections.
It also takes you down the red carpet showing how he came to be known as America's horse.
He captured America's heart, and you will also learn about him as just a specimen of him.
What a physically beautiful and perfect.
He was considered perfect just by the standard of a thoroughbred.
You'll learn about what made him perfect.
He had a physically incredible heart.
When they did his necropsy, they learned that it was about three times larger than a normal thoroughbreds.
His weighed over £20.
And you'll be able to stand in the exhibit and look at him as his physical specimen.
And there will be different projections that pop up, including his heart.
And you'll learn about what made him so amazing.
His story is right out of a Disney movie.
In fact, it was just that in 2010.
The exhibit includes items and clips from the Disney version of his story, too.
You can learn about his legendary owner, Penny Gentry, and watch his historic races like you're right there at the track.
So I think that it's really important to tell these stories and to tell Secretariat's story because he is one of the biggest names that excites people still to this day about horse racing.
For Kentucky Edition, I'm Kelsey Starks.
Thank you, Kelsey.
The exhibit opened today.
It's on the second floor of the Kentucky Derby Museum adjacent to Churchill Downs in Louisville.
You can see it with the general admission ticket to the museum.
