Traditionally horses are buried with only their Head, Heart and Hooves. Not too often that they're buried intact.
Eclipse's heart weighed in at 14 pounds and suppossedly passed the large heart gene through his daughters. Sham's tipped the scales at 18 pounds, while Secretariat was estimated to be 22. A normal thoroughbred heart is about 8.5 pounds.
