racing fans got a chance to meet hall of fame jockey ron turcotte at the horse racing hall of fame in saratoga springs new york yesterday, sunday august 24 2014 to cap travers week festivities at the storied community.


he was there for the screening of the documentaries ' ron turcotte - secretariat's jockey '  and '  penny and red - the life of secretariat's owner ' the former released in june 2013 and ms chenery's story 6 months later




earlier this year the paralyzed triple crown rider and longtime advocate for the wheelchaired created a scandal naying attending the kentucky derby ( which he rode to victory in twice ) due to churchhill downs' management's inadequate ada van accessible parking the year before where he wasn't able to gain entrance to the creme de la creme de menthe of horse races




on tragically hip 8 belles' owner rick porter's foxhillfarmstables.com site last april the man who guided one of the most powerful horses in history to the track's 1-1/4 mile record  said :


"Being confined to a wheelchair since my racing accident in 1978, it is no easy feat to maneuver through the crowds that attend the Derby festivities," he wrote. "It becomes a nearly impossible task when there is virtually no assistance from the track."




the legendary jockey lives in new brunswick ca and if you come up to van buren maine to sample some of acadia's delectable dining, you might bump into him getting his stateside mail at the post office or ordering ployes at robin's


 he enjoys promoting the sport he loves so stop up and say hi '
