Ron Turcotte, a champion jockey who made racing history when he piloted the great Secretariat to resounding victories in all three Triple Crown races in 1973, died on Friday at his home in Drummond, New Brunswick. He was 84.
Leonard Lusky, his longtime business partner, confirmed the death but did not cite a cause. Turcotte had used a wheelchair since being paralyzed in a racing accident in 1978.
