Sham: A look back at Secretariat's main rival
Anyone who saw Secretariat win the Triple Crown in 1973 remembers Sham, the Pretense colt who ran second to Big Red in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Here's a great look back at Sham by the Blood Horse's Steve Haskin. Just copy the Web address below and paste it into your browser. Before Monarchos won the Derby in 2001, Sham still owned the second fastest Derby clocking at 1:59 4/5. He was a wonderful horse who happened to come along in the wrong year.
