Secretariat’s Triple Crown still shines

Chris Graham

American Pharoah, the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, is basking in the national media spotlight, and deservedly so. Rising to meet every challenge of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, he is now only the 12th horse since 1919 to claim racing’s most elusive prize. As icing on the cake, he is a great-great-great grandson of Secretariat, still hailed as the greatest Triple Crown champion of all.
