Wearing the traditional blue and white associated with Baltimore’s football team, a colt reigned supreme in a different Charm City sporting arena in 1973. Specifically, chestnut equine Secretariat broke poorly out of the Pimlico starting gate, but quickly rallied to leave the Preakness field in his awe-inspiring path. This 20x16 original color photograph depicts the Triple Crown Champion as he endeavored the events on the famed Northern Parkway oval. Captured by renowned area shutterbug Morton Tadder, the image portrays the famed horse in his gorgeous reddish-brown coat, his right eye studiously emerging from an opening in the checkerboard silks. On the lower white border, a handwritten notation with a copyright symbol reads “Tadder/Baltimore.” This particular print is one of only 10 produced.

Also included is a 16x20 black-and-white photograph of a 1960s Preakness stretch run. Captured by former Baltimore Sun photographer Joe DePaula, the shot shows a “head-on” vantage point from which the powerful horses are neck and neck with riders engaged in a battle of whips.
