Secretariat and Ron Turcotte
“Gods Boy 31-2.24”
This current sculpture is going to be depicting Secretariat and Ron Turcotte incredible win at the Belmont Stakes in 1973.
Taking measurements from vet records of Secretariat himself, this will be a life size replica of this remarkable duo.
The legs and head have had their cage built and the body cage will be next. The entire sculpture will be made from thousands of cut out miniature Secretariat steel mosaics, individually Tig welded onto the cage; Ron Turcotte will be made up with cut out miniature jockeys.
The legs have had their mosaics added - they took 575 individual pieces alone! The head is currently being worked on.
When the entire piece has been finished, it will be galvanised dipped to preserve what is going to be, a truly magnificent and breathtaking sculpture.
