The history of La Prevoyante?
A horse by the name of Secretariat was King of the two-year-old males in 1972, but it was La Prevoyante who was Queen of the two-year-olds. In fact, it was Secretariat who nipped La Prevoyante for Eclipse Award's Horse of the Year in 1972. While Secretariat went on to bigger and greater things, La Prevoyante was no slouch.
La Prevoyante won her first 12 races as a two-year-old. In her three-year-old season, she placed second in the Kentucky Oaks to Bag of Tunes. La Prevoyante, who won 25 of her 39 races, was inducted into the United States National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1995. On December 28, 1974 — the day of her final race in the Miss Florida Handicap at Calder — La Prevoyante collapsed and later died after rupturing her left lung.
Here is the 2011 Handicap. Spoiler alert: Won by Casablanca Smile, who when wire-to-wire.
