In recognition of her remarkable contributions to the sport of Thoroughbred racing, the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame has named its Winners of the Triple Crown exhibit in honor of Penny Chenery, who died Sept. 16 at the age of 95.
“Penny Chenery was a remarkable person and a wonderful ambassador for our sport,” said John Hendrickson, the Museum's president. “She was a champion for the Thoroughbred and a role model for all. It is the Museum's privilege to recognize her contributions to racing. Secretariat was a Triple Crown champion and so is Penny. The Museum is honored to have Penny forever interwoven in the legacy of the Triple Crown within our institution.”
Located in the Kleberg Foundation Triple Crown Gallery, the Penny Chenery Winners of the Triple Crown interactive multimedia exhibit tells the stories of the 12 American Triple Crown winners, including the remarkable journey of Chenery's Meadow Stable colt Secretariat, winner of the 1973 Triple Crown.
