Ron Turcotte has passed at 84. He was the jockey who guided Secretariat through the 1973 Triple Crown, capped by a 31-length Belmont that still takes your breath away. He won more than 3,000 races, back-to-back Kentucky Derbies, and carried himself with humility and grit. After a riding accident ended his career, he never quit. From a wheelchair, he became a voice and a force for injured jockeys everywhere. He was grace, courage, and strength. A legend in the irons. A hero in life. #RonTurcotte
