Lucien Laurin (March 18, 1912 – June 26, 2000) was a French-Canadian jockey and Hall of Fame Thoroughbred horse trainer. He was best known for training Secretariat, who won the Triple Crown in 1973.
26. Juni 2000 · Lucien Laurin began his career with racehorses as a jockey in 1929 at Blue Bonnets Raceway in Montreal. He won 161 races as a rider, including the 1935 King’s Plate aboard Sir Michael, before transitioning to a training career when making weight proved difficult.
In January 1972, he joined trainer Lucien Laurin's winter stable at Hialeah. Secretariat gained a reputation as a kind horse, likeable and unruffled in crowds or by the bumping that occurs between young horses. He had the physique of a runner but at first was awkward and clumsy.
27. Juni 2000 · Hall of Fame trainer Lucien Laurin died Sunday night at Miami Baptist Hospital as a result of complications from surgery on a broken hip he sustained when he fell last week. He was 88.

Controversy
Film critic Andrew O'Hehir of Salon.com created some controversy with his review of the film, writing that, although he "enjoyed the film immensely," that didn't "stop [him] from believing that in its totality Secretariat is a work of creepy, half-hilarious master-race propaganda almost worthy of Leni Riefenstahl, and all the more effective because it presents as a family-friendly yarn about a nice lady and her horse."

Historical inaccuracies
Bill Christine, a former long-time racing writer for the Los Angeles Times, pointed out that the film made some significant departures from Secretariat's actual history. These include: 1.
