July 19. That’s the date when the giant monument honouring ex-jockey Ron Turcotte will be unveiled on Broadway Boulevard in Grand Falls.

Ron Turcotte is the racehorse jockey that shook the world as the rider of the powerful horse SECRETARIAT, winner of the U.S. Triple Crown in 1973. Tragically, on July 13th, 1978 at the start of his race, Ron Turcotte’s career came to a horrific end following a tumble from his horse. This unfortunate incident left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was only 36 years old at the time. Town Council started planning the much anticipated monument in early 2011 soon after the release of the Disney movie, Secretariat. The National Film Board of Canada’s 2013 feature-length documentary, Secretariat’s Jockey, Ron Turcotte, directed by acclaimed Canadian director Phil Comeau, facilitated to realize this project. Grand Falls is very proud to have the opportunity to properly recognize one of their own, the legendary Ron Turcotte. The planning, design and creation of this monument was accomplished in close collaboration with Turcotte who was very happy to learn of the Town’s plans. The massive monument will feature Turcotte and Secretariat as they dashed to their Triple Crown victory in 1973, as well as a clock bearing the time they crossed the finish line and a granite block with the famous jockey’s biography. The creator and designer of the monument is Yves Thériault, owner of Monuments Ste-Anne of Bertrand New Brunswick.
