Own a piece of history — buy Secretariat’s birthplace

Want a piece of horse racing history to call your very own? Here’s your chance — the birthplace of 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat is up for auction.

The 331 acre property 25 miles north of Richmond, Va., includes the restored 12,850-square-foot Meadow Farm manor house.

The property was purchased in 1973 by The Virginia State Farm, but “the economics never worked out and the property has foreclosed,” according to a news release.

The aution is May 22. Click here for details.
