'''Secrettame''' (March 15, 1978 – March 17, 2006) was a Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare.

She was originally purchased as a yearling at the Keeneland Yearling Sales by Venezuelan owner Jose "Pepe" Sahagun and his Villa Blanca Farms. It was Sahagun's vision, even as a yearling, that she would one day be bred to [Mr. Prospector](/source/Mr._Prospector). It was that vision that produced the very good stallion [Gone West](/source/Gone_West_(horse)).<ref>{{cite web |title=Gone West (1984–2009) a good stallion to remember |date=February 4, 2015 |url=http://www.millridge.com/blog/2015/02/04/gone-west-1984-2009-a-good-stallion-to-remember }}</ref>

Secrettame was a daughter of the great [Triple Crown](/source/United_States_Triple_Crown_of_Thoroughbred_Racing) winner [Secretariat](/source/Secretariat_(horse)).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Horse&refno=741551&registry=T&rbt=TB |title=Secrettame |publisher=Equibase Co., LLC |date=2020-12-13|accessdate=2020-12-13}}</ref> Her dam, Tamerett, was sired by Hall of Famer [Tim Tam](/source/Tim_Tam_(horse)) who won the [1958 Kentucky Derby](/source/1958_Kentucky_Derby) and the [Preakness Stakes](/source/1958_Preakness_Stakes) but whose strong bid for the Triple Crown and his racing career both ended when he fractured a [sesamoid bone](/source/sesamoid_bone) in his right foreleg a quarter of a mile from the finish and struggled the last yards in second place.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1958/06/16/shed-a-tear-for-tim-tam |title=Shed a Tear for Tim Tam |publisher=Sports Illustrated (vault) |date=1958-06-16 |accessdate=2020-12-15}}</ref>

She was the dam of racehorse and sire Gone West, whose son, [Elusive Quality](/source/Elusive_Quality), sired 2004 [American Champion Three-Year-Old Colt](/source/American_Champion_Three-Year-Old_Male_Horse) [Smarty Jones](/source/Smarty_Jones). Smarty Jones was the first undefeated horse to win the [Kentucky Derby](/source/Kentucky_Derby) since [Seattle Slew](/source/Seattle_Slew) in 1977, but lost the final leg of the Triple Crown, the [Belmont Stakes](/source/Belmont_Stakes), to [Birdstone](/source/Birdstone). She was also the dam of Lion Cavern, who went on to sire 8 time Grade One winner [Apache Cat](/source/Apache_Cat).

In March 2006, at age 28 Secrettame died of a severe bout of colic.
