Secretariat's Jockey, Ron Turcotte (2013)

This poignant documentary from the National Film Board of Canada explores the life of Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte. It offers an intimate look as he revisits significant people and places that shaped his remarkable journey. Among a select few who have conquered America's Triple Crown, Turcotte achieved legendary status in 1973 by guiding Secretariat—widely regarded as the greatest racehorse ever—to triumph in racing's top three events. However, a tragic fall in 1978 left him paraplegic, abruptly ending his illustrious 16-year career, yet his spirit remains indomitable.
