The most famous such example is Secretariat. His autopsy showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had an oversized heart, weighing in at 22 pounds, nearly three times that of the average thoroughbred, and more than three times that of an average non-thoroughbred horse.
âAnd because we wanted to be statistically precise about Secretariatâs races, our horses ran at the same speed Secretariat did. Of course, they â or any horse â could never have sustained that speed.â. Rusty Hendrickson, who describes himself as a âmovie horse wrangler,â found the five horses that played Secretariat.
