The Wintergreen Speaker Series: Kate Chenery Tweedy

Meet Kate Chenery Tweedy

A native of Denver, Colorado, Kate Chenery Tweedy is the daughter of Secretariat’s late owner Penny Chenery, and granddaughter of his breeder, Christopher Chenery. She grew up visiting her grandfather’s farm, The Meadow, in Doswell, Virginia, and watching his Thoroughbreds race at major tracks nationwide. In 1973, as a college student, she was at her mother’s side when Secretariat demolished the field in the Belmont Stakes and became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.

Kate will have copies of her book, Secretariat's Meadow for sale. It a story about The Land, The Family, and The Legend.
