  • 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. With Sham sort of back in the spotlight again, I went back to a 2009 column I wrote on the colt and felt enough ...

    John Steinbeck wrote, “Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone…Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.” Whether or not you consider California Chrome, Songbird, Tepin, Lady Eli, and Found great horses, there is no arguing that greatness lives in all of them, whether they were defeated in the ...
