There were more than 650 registered foals sired by Secretariat. The first were born in 1975 and the last in 1990. There are just two who are known to still walk this Earth – a son born in 1988 and a daughter born in 1989.
They had their official birthdays on January 1, so that means Border Run* is now 34 years old and Trusted Company 33. They are remarkable, emotional reminders of the horse that many consider the greatest of all time.
*[December, 2022 - Border Run, the oldest known Secretariat, died aged 34]

Without looking I would have to guess Secretariat's most successful progeny was Lady's Secret. For the record I never paid a lot of attention to breeding.
