TRUTH !!
At the time of Secretariat's death, the veterinarian who performed the
necropsy, Dr. Thomas Swerczek, head pathologist at the University of
Kentucky, did not weigh Secretariat's heart, but stated, "We just stood
there in stunned silence. We couldn't believe it. The heart was perfect.
There were no problems with it. It was just this huge engine."
Later, Swerczek also performed a necropsy on Sham, who died in 1993.
Swerczek did weigh Sham's heart, and it was 18 pounds (8.2 kg). Based on
Sham's measurement, and having necropsied both horses, he estimated
Secretariat's heart probably weighed 22 pounds (10.0 kg), or about 2.5 times
that of the average horse (8.5 pounds (3.9 kg)).
