The Sport of Kings Colorized $2 Notes Collection
Image courtesy of Britannica.comNumismatics has long been called the “Hobby of Kings,” and with good reason. People have been collecting coins for thousands of years. But throughout most of history, it was a pastime in which only the very wealthy could afford to indulge.
Thankfully, that’s no longer the case.
Coin collecting has grown more accessible and affordable since the mid-1800s. You no longer need to be numbered among the elite to enjoy the hobby. And with Littleton’s many popular Collector Clubs, you can assemble an impressive collection of coins or paper money right in the comfort of your own home.
Similarly, horse racing is known as the “Sport of Kings” – and for much the same reason. People have raced horses pretty much ever since they domesticated them, around 4,500 B.C. However, unlike numismatics, horse racing is still an expensive endeavor. The sport has no doubt changed over the millennia, but it still takes a lot of money to raise and train a successful race horse. (Not to mention patience, hard work and luck.)
Of course, that hasn’t stopped millions of people from watching at the track or on television. And now, there’s another way to enjoy this thrilling sport – one that combines both the Sport of Kings and the Hobby of Kings!

The One and Only Secretariat
Nicknamed “Big Red” for his giant stature (over 16 hands tall and 1,200 lbs.), Secretariat was born on March 30, 1970 at The Meadow in Doswell, VA. He began racing at age 2 in 1973, and quickly established himself as a dominant competitor. His racing career spanned just 16 short months and two seasons. But in that time, he established himself as one of the all-time legends of the sport.
In fact, many consider Secretariat the greatest race horse to ever set foot on a track.
As a 2-year-old colt, he won the Sanford Stakes, Hopeful Stakes, Belmont Futurity and Garden State Stakes, and was named his division’s Horse of the Year. Then, at age 3, he won the 1973 Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years. And he did it in dramatic fashion – winning the Belmont Stakes by an incredible 31 lengths and setting a track record that still stands to this day!
The first colorized note features SecretariatSecretariat went on to again be named the season’s Horse of the Year before retiring. Out of 21 career starts, he finished “in the money” (placing first, second or third) in all but his very first race, in which he finished 4th. Even in retirement, he continued his legacy by siring 653 foals – including 57 stakes winners.
