Sevier maintained a hunting camp on the Tensas River. He had such interest in thoroughbred [[horse racing]] that his son-in-law, Dr. Thomas Pirone, placed a racing form in Sevier's coat pocket before he was buried. The form was from the 1973 [[Kentucky Derby]] won by Secretariat, an event for which Sevier had been in the stands.<ref name=bio/>
