Longtime Anchor Finds Passion in Horses

Former Philly Anchor George Mallet now works in Vermont at WPTZ. 

But, when he was still covering the news in Philly in 2005, he heard that a grandson of Secretariat had been born in Pennsylvania’s Chester County, and he decided to chronicle the little colt’s arrival. 

And what started as a news story, turned into a love story.

Mallet now owns the grandson of Secretariat and it has changed his life.
