A horse so fast he made the other horses look parked.
means An administrative body or office that handles the paperwork, records, and organizational business of a government, organization, or institution.
from Traces back to Latin 'secretum' (something set apart, hidden), via 'secretarius' — a person entrusted with private or confidential matters. The word passed through French 'secrétariat' before settling into English to mean the office or staff supporting a secretary's work. The racehorse named Secretariat borrowed the word's air of official importance — fittingly, since he ran like he had government business to finish.
