About The Meadow Event Park: Birthplace and home of Secretariat (March 30, 1970 – October 4, 1989), also known as Big Red, was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse, born at The Meadow, Doswell VA, who is the ninth winner of the American Triple Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three races. He is regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. He became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and his record-breaking victory in the Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths, is widely regarded as one of the greatest races in history. During his racing career, he won five Eclipse Awards, including Horse of the Year honors at ages two and three. He was nominated to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1974. In the List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century, Secretariat is second only to Man o' War.

Board Decision by Vote Passed on 26 October 2022
Motion that because the Lagotto Romagnolo is a low entry breed, and because we have limited personnel working on the 2023 National Specialty, any Board Members, or member of the 2023 National Specialty Committee, may enter their dog(s) in the National Specialty.
Not part of this passed motion. It was observed at the Club Italiano Lagotto 2022 Raduno, with 271 entries, that the Board Members showed their own dogs in competition.
