The Kentucky Derby Museum, in partnership with the 2015 Secretariat Festival and Secretariat.com, has formally applied to Guinness World Records for the honor of hosting the World’s Largest Horseshoe. An exact replica of a shoe worn by Secretariat, the 1973 Triple Crown Champion, will be unveiled at the Museum Sept. 20 at 1 p.m.
The horseshoe’s debut will be the centerpiece of a special event at the Museum, with several members of the Secretariat team expected to attend, including owner Penny Chenery, jockey Ron Turcotte and exercise rider Charlie Davis. A limited number of special VIP tickets for the event are available for $99, representing Secretariat’s win in the 99th running of the Kentucky Derby. These tickets will include a numbered, gold-edition commemorative horseshoe and a special certificate of authenticity signed by the team, the first opportunity to take photos of the proposed World’s Largest Horseshoe and admission to all Museum exhibits. A special excursion package is available from the Secretariat Festival to transport Lexington-based guests to the Museum for the day. Guests who purchase general admission to the Museum are also invited to attend the event.
