Wannabe Secretariats line up for the Look-Alike Contest
Junk in the trunk: Each contestant was evaluated on many points, including the trademark "Big Red Butt"
Champion Secretariat Tribute Artist, TROLLEY BOY. The 4 year old thoroughbred stallion was the first contestant to enter the arena and was the only one who needed no painted-on enhancement to his markings.
This pic reminds me of that shot of Sec striding onto the track for the Belmont.
Judge Jim Gaffney and Sandra White, founder of the Center for Women in Racing & chairperson for the Secretariat Festival congratulate Trolley Boy.

Secretariat watches over Jim Gaffney and Penny Chenery at the autograph booth.
You could buy this barrel, handpainted by a local Paris artist, in the silent auction. I wonder if the bourbon is included?
This booth was brimming with authentic racing memorabilia. Those are actual saddlecloths worn by such greats as Ginger Punch, Intercontinental and FOrest Danger. Sadly, I left my "Grade-1 saddlecloth" money back at home.
Among the activites during the day were hours of mounted pony club games in the arena.
No Nerf balls here. In this game, riders had to spear balloons with sticks.
This is what 31 Lengths looks like in orange cones.
