| Year Found | 2019 |
| Location Found | Lutz, FL United States |
| Finding Institution | University of South Florida |
| Program | Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science |
| From enriched soil sample? | No |
| Isolation Temperature | 33°C |
| GPS Coordinates | 28.94 N, 82.42 W Map |
| Discovery Notes | Soil Sample taken from underneath a pile of horse manure in an area of high biodiversity in plants and fungi. Soil was in a hot, dry, and dark location. |
| Naming Notes | I named the phage after the triple crown winner, Secretariat. He is known as one of the greatest racing horses in history due to his above average speed. My phage reproduced at a fast rate and had an extremely high titer. I also found the phage under a pile of horse manure at the local horse stables. |
