Chenery, known as the "first lady of racing," owned a thoroughbred breeding business that introduced Secretariat to the racing world. The dominant horse became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years, taking the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. In 1974, Secretariat was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, and ESPN has listed him at 35th on its list of the 100 greatest athletes of the 20th century, one of only three nonhumans on the list.
