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. Turcotte's family said through his longtime business partner Leonard Lusky that the jockey died of natural causes at his home in Drummond, N.B., on Friday. He was 84.
