I finally find somebody that has given this horse (SHAM) the respect that he really deserved and never given. It was a unlucky year to run against probably the best race horse that ever step into a race track. but there is no shame on finishing second to Secretariat and also run the second fastest Kentucky Derby and Preakness My favorite horse of all times that was ridden by my brother (Laffit) . My hat off to Secretariat but my heart goes to SHAM.
