Emily, make sure you Google search Secretariat, racing statistics... also, I just found lots of information at this link Kentucky Derby 2007 Betting Horse Racing Betting News - Secretariat : The Triple Crown Winner (http://www.triple-crown.net/content/view/633/9/) you have to read the statistics and look in the parenthesis, it tells you which wins were record breakers... you have to do the foot work yourself, count them up.
Fyi, there are over 7,000 websites that info on this topic, I doubt you've been to EVERY website... "every" and "never" are words that just don't work very well. Take care, good luck on your project... what IS the project by the way? Jane in California

A neat tidbit for you about big red as he was called : after he died and the vets did the autopsy, they found that his heart was nearly 3 times the size of a normal horse!

Keep looking you'll find what your looking for. Here's a little help
Secretariat was voted the Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year, the most prestigious honor in racing, both as a two-year-old (the first horse so honored at that age) and as a three-year-old. Secretariat demonstrated his superiority on grass with wins in the Canadian International Stakes and the Man o' War Stakes against older horses. His performance on grass earned him the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Male Turf Horse.
