Two and a half lengths behind greatness

Most people are more or less aware that Secretariat was a racehorse. They may be aware that he won the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes) in 1973 and if they know that much, they may also know that he was a very good racehorse indeed. And he was. Secretariat was a force of nature, head and shoulders above the other colts in 1973. But this post is not about him. This post is about Sham.

Sham was unfortunately born the same year as Secretariat. )
