The National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association joins the entire racing community in mourning the passing of Ron Turcotte, one of the sport’s most celebrated and beloved jockeys.![]()
Best remembered as the rider of Secretariat during the unforgettable 1973 Triple Crown, Ron’s place in racing history is secure. Yet beyond the record-breaking victories, he was admired for his humility, courage and lifelong dedication to Thoroughbred racing. His legacy will forever be intertwined with the greatness of our sport.![]()
On behalf of horsemen and horsewomen across the country, we extend our deepest condolences to Ron’s family, friends and all who were touched by his remarkable life.
