New Brunswick’s own Ron Turcotte, seen here with the famous Secretariat in 1973, passed away on Aug. 22, at his Drummond home, at the age of 84. Turcotte won 3,032 races in his career, including the 1973 Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, Belmont Stakes) with Secretariat. Turcotte had Secretariat win the Belmont by a record 31 lengths. However, in 1978, a spill during a race at Belmont Park left him paralyzed from the waist down, and he never raced again.
