PREVIEW EXHIBITION
Secretariat is widely considered to be the greatest racehorse of all time and the most recognizable name in Thoroughbred racing. Big Red, as he is most often affectionately referred, became America’s Horse after his historic Triple Crown win in 1973, winning the Belmont Stakes by an unimaginable 31 lengths (in world record time) in what stands today as the single greatest horse racing performance ever. Celebrating racing’s past to enrich its future Secretariat.com is the official website for the legendary champion.
Belmont Park honors Secretariat’s 50th Anniversary cinching the Triple Crown by commissioning artist Lisa Palombo
Super excited to be the featured artist and invited to exhibit at the 2023 Belmont Stakes, the infamous last jewel in the Triple Crown. 50 years ago Secretariat won The Belmont to secure the Triple Crown! He and his rider Ron Turcotte broke all track records and still holds the best track time! This year’s race was televised live June 10th on Fox Sports. I signed many posters through out the weekend. It was wonderful to see Secretariat still has so many fans of all ages.
A limited amount of artist signed posters are available here, ARTIST SIGNED POSTERS

Secretariat’s 50th Birthday Celebration – A Horse of a Different Color
Secretariat was born March 30, 1970. He became an American Thoroughbred racehorse who, in 1973, became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. His record-breaking victory in Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths, is widely regarded as one of the greatest races of all time.
I was thrilled and honored to have been chosen as the featured artist to showcase my work that captures the beauty and magnificence of Big Red in honor of his 50th birthday celebration in 2021, his 50th anniversary running the Saratoga juvenile races in 2022 and his Triple Crown 50th Anniversary in 2023. Secretariart was far from any ordinary racehorse. In the sporting world, he’s often mentioned in the same breath alongside some of the human all-time greats.
