Experience in working in social media is desirable. Harald Albrecht joined the Secretariat as web developer and IT administrator in The number and variety of tasks the staff has to see to has changed and grown over the years.
It is hard to believe that they started with electric typewriters, telex machine, telephones. No FAX machines, no computers, no e-mail, no world wide web at the time. The first innovation was a huge Philips computer, which helped set up a first database. But it was the first step into the electronic world. Personal Computers with more capacity followed, then e-mail and finally the connection to the World Wide Web. All this has changed the work of the staff dramatically. First of all, response times have dwindled to practically instantaneous, mailing is mostly done via e-mail and the number of services to the outside world, IFAC Officials, event organizers, National Member Organizations and other interested parties have grown dramatically.
The production of the Newsletter also started with typewritten and typeset copies and has meanwhile changed to desk-top publication. The Newsletter is now also available electronically, directly on the Home Page. This is just a glance at some of the tasks the Secretariat performs. Secretariat won in just by an astounding 31 lengths. His Belmont race was so incredible that even cameras with the widest lenses were unable to capture Secretariat and the closest horse behind him in the same shot as he crossed the wire.
Being widely considered the most dominant race in the history of horse racing, the footage of that race is still nearly impossible to witness without a catch in your throat. Over five thousand bettors at the Belmont Stakes held on to their winning tickets, never cashing in on the history they held on a tiny slip of paper grasped firmly in their hands and hearts. He retired in to Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky where he stood at stud until his death on October 4, He sired offspring including 57 stakes winners, eventually being known as a top broodmare sire of his time.
Standing at Many found themselves at a loss for words when it came to describing the enchanting presence of Secretariat, especially those who had the opportunity to see the horse in person. Swerczek has said he has never laid eyes on as perfect a horse in his over fifty years as a veterinarian and scientist at the University of Kentucky. D, grew up on a livestock farm in Nebraska, where he developed an interest in nutrition and animal health.
During his time working in the Diagnostic Laboratory and Department of Pathology as a student, his professors encouraged him to pursue an advanced degree in Veterinary Pathology. In he accepted a position as an assistant professor at the University of Kentucky, Department of Veterinary Science, becoming a professor in There he spent 49 years at the University of Kentucky, retiring in He is currently Professor Emeritus in the Department of Veterinary Science, University of Kentucky, where he has dedicated his time to finishing research he has passionately studied during his career.
On a beautiful day in June, Dr. Swerczek and his wife, Mary Ann, welcomed two strangers into their home, eager to absorb every ounce of knowledge and history he was willing to share about that October day.
Gathered in the living room of his home, Dr. Swerczek sat quietly in his chair, almost uncomfortable with the idea that someone was so interested to hear his story. As extraordinary as it was to be welcomed into the home of Dr. Swerczek and his wife, seeing the chestnut hairs within reach was enough to make any grown adult overcome with childlike excitement.
Swerczek developed an awe-inspired respect for Secretariat just as everyone else had. He watched him on television, enthralled with every accomplishment just as the whole world had been. Everything about him was just perfect. Swerczek worked alongside the resident team of veterinarians at Claiborne farm as Secretariat retired from racing, transitioning to a stud career. I knew the horse, and knew those over at Claiborne farm.
I was involved with the taxidermy horses on exhibit at The Kentucky Horse Park, so in my mind I thought Secretariat would be the perfect horse to do something like that with and preserve him for future generations to admire as we had. He had developed laminitis, a painful and debilitating hoof condition, which was first diagnosed on Labor Day of By October 4th, he would be dead. Swerczek explained. They wanted the horse to have an autopsy close by and return for a prepared burial at their farm.
However, they struggled to reach Dr. They all had plastic bags with them. This horse meant so much, especially to those who worked with him every day, that it was emotional and difficult for those who loved him to witness the necropsy.
And, although Dr. Swerczek performed hundreds of necropsies each year, the one he performed that day on the great Secretariat brought with it an epic sense of respect and reverence felt by everyone - not just in that laboratory room - the entire country was mourning the loss of this historic beacon of light that touched the very soul of anyone fortunate enough to come in contact with him.
Normally, I would do a typical necropsy and frankly, end up mutilating and dissecting everything needed for that exam. With Secretariat being insured, a necropsy was required, despite the obvious answer of his untimely death being laminitis. There was no chance of a cure or improvement, they had done the right thing for the horse by humanely euthanizing him.
I examined everything related to the laminitis, with no necessary reason to examine every other inch of this horse. I just needed to conclude my findings in terms of the laminitis. When I was finishing up, Dr. Kaufman, the resident veterinarian at Claiborne Farm, asked with really just a passing curiosity, "I wonder what his heart looks like? I was trying to leave as much of this specimen intact, it was difficult to even cut into him, to be honest, everyone idolized this horse.
