[1] Secrettame was a daughter of the great Triple Crown winner Secretariat.
[2] Her dam, Tamerett, was sired by Hall of Famer Tim Tam who won the 1958 Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes but whose strong bid for the Triple Crown and his racing career both ended when he fractured a sesamoid bone in his right foreleg a quarter of a mile from the finish and struggled the last yards in second place.
Smarty Jones was the first undefeated horse to win the Kentucky Derby since Seattle Slew in 1977, but lost the final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, to Birdstone.
She was also the dam of Lion Cavern, who went on to sire 8 time Grade One winner Apache Cat.
In March 2006, at age 28 Secrettame died of a severe bout of colic.
