Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte, who won the Triple Crown in 1973 with Secretariat, has died at the age of 84.

Turcotte, who rode Secretariat in all three races, died Friday of natural causes at his home in New Brunswick. The Canadian -born jockey also won the 1972 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes on Riva Ridge, who was also born and raised at Meadow Farms. In 1965, Turcotte won the Preakness aboard Tom Rolfe.

Ron Turcotte guided Secretariat to an emphatic American Triple Crown sweep in 1973. So dominant was that performance that Secretariat still holds the records he set that year in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont.
