  • Memories of Sham Rekindled With New Book

    I saw an ad yesterday for a new book on Sham, titled “Sham: Great Was Second Best,” by Phil Dandrea. It is the second book written on Secretariat’s adversary, the first being “Sham: In the Shadow of a Superhorse,” by Mary Walsh.

  • Arrogate Adds New Dimension to Pegasus Cup

    Several months ago, Dan Schafer, who does not own a single racehorse, but has purchased a spot in the $12 million Pegasus World Cup, was looking forward to the next couple of months when the wheeling and dealing begins to fill the starting gate with 12 top-class horses at $1 million a pop.

  • The Long Ride - By Lenny Shulman

    He is north of 50 now, an age where you’d think the only horses he should be riding are going up and down around a carousel.
