Track Timers Set at These Mile Fractions; Secretariat So here's the question. Which horse has ran in the Kentucky Derby and came in second in time to Secretariat, Sham or Monarchos. Well, after many arduous hours of calculation and number crunching using the WiseGuy algorithm inside of the ROD Handicapping software, I come up with my theoretical answer to who ran Second Fastest at the Kentucky Derby. Theoretical only because who knows how accurate the timers, the clockers, the rail support distances, the split times, and everything else in the technical aspects of the debate. But here is my take and the numbers I used. First I converted everything to tenths of a second instead of fifths hoping to take the variables to hundredths on some data. Known variables • 10' lengths • 10' rail support to support – 2’ safety setback from rail • 6600 total feet of track Track timers set at these mile fractions; 1/4 1/2 3/4 1 1 1/4 Secretariat split times 25.2 24 23.8 23.4 23 49.200 73.000 96.400 119.400 Lengths completed per second - LCS Time of each LCS 5.238 5.500 5.546 5.641 5.739 1.048 1.100 1.109 1.128 1.148 Sham split times 25.2 24.0 23.8 23.4 23.4 96.400 119.800 Note: Sham and Secretariat were running head to head after a mile Sham actually finished 2 lengths back, not 2.5. Time span for final LCS = lengths span of 11.478’ Support rail at 10’increments with 2’ safety setback Amount of actual true lengths based on time Length measurement 126 120 119 117 115 10.476 11.000 11.092 11.282 11.478 Note As Secretariat drew closer to the wire, his length time increased equaling a precise deceleration and loss of acceleration rate. Big Red was virtually becoming longer in distance and slower in time. Finishing times Secretariat 119.4 seconds or 1.990 minutes Monarchos 119.8 seconds or 1.996 minutes Sham 119.8 seconds or 1.996 minutes Dead Heat for Second .

  • Race to the Derby
    RACE TO THE DERBY Welcome to our annual “Race to the Derby” Fantasy Horse Racing contest at the Pleasanton Off-Track Betting facility! The contest is all about building a fantasy stable of 3-year-old horses and following them through the pursuit of making the Kentucky Derby. The first race of our contest is Saturday, January 7 and it concludes with the running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 6. THE DEADLINE TO ENTER IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3!!!!! Our scoring system will follow the structure for the Road to the Kentucky Derby prep series again this year, with one exception. The UAE Derby is worth 50-20-10-5 points this year, rather than the inflated value the Derby committee awards for the race. Here’s how you play the contest. To start, pick any 10, 3-year-old horses (as of Jan. 1) for your beginning stable. Points are earned by how the horses finish in the string of races throughout the Derby prep season. The first four finishers in each prep race earn points for their owners. The points are the same used to determine the field for the Kentucky Derby. You can make six drops/additions along the way, but you will only get those six so use them wisely. At the end of the Kentucky Derby the final standings will be determined! You must enter at the Pleasanton OTB facility. Adds/drops can be made via e-mail or in person at the OTB. Send any questions to [email protected]. The cutoff to enter the contest is February 3!!!! Get your entry in earlier and have some fun! One entry per person and must show ID when entering.

  • 'Rising Star' Makes 'Good' in Sham
    SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 2021 ‘RISING STAR’ MAKES WINSTAR STABLEMATES OFF TO A FLYING START IN 2021 by Bill Finley ‘GOOD’ IN SHAM Coming off a banner year in which its fillies finished one-two in the GI Coaching Club American Oaks, WinStar Stablemates Racing burst out of the starting gate in 2021 going two-for-two on Friday. The victories included a win by Gulf Coast (Union Rags) in the Cash Run S. at Gulfstream. "It's nice to get of to such a great start and we are very excited for 2021," said WinStar CEO and President Elliott Walden. "To be two-for-two is great for our owners." The WinStar racing partnership is an offshoot of WinStar Stablemates, a club formed in 2011 that allowed members inside access to all things WinStar. Hoping to attract new owners into the business, WinStar branched out and started WinStar Stablemates Racing in 2018. The stable won with its first ever starter, capturing the 2018 Wayward Lass S. at Tampa Bay Life is Good | Horsephotos Downs with Well Humored (Distorted Humor). All of the Stablemates horses are fillies. Cont. p7 China Horse Club and WinStar’s Life is Good (Into Mischief) lived up to his dazzling, ‘TDN Rising Star’-worthy debut with a good-looking score in Saturday’s GIII Sham S. at Santa Anita.

  • Frank “Pancho” Martin, Trainer of Sham, Dead at 86
    FRANK “PANCHO” MARTIN, TRAINER OF SHAM, DEAD AT 86 SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Hall of Fame trainer Frank “Pancho” Martin, who dominated The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) circuit during the 1970’s and early 1980’s, died Wednesday night at his home in Garden City, N.Y., following a brief illness. He was 86. Best known as the trainer of Sham, who finished second to Secretariat in the 1973 Kentucky Derby and Preakness, Martin first topped the trainer standings in New York in 1971 with 106 winners and then was invincible on the circuit for 10 straight years from 1973-82. Although not as active in recent years, in 2012, Martin saddled 77 starters, finishing second five times and third twice. During a career that spanned more than 60 years, he saddled 3,240 winners of more than $47.5 million, according to Equibase statistics, including champions Autobiography, who won the Eclipse Award as the nation’s Top Older Horse in 1972; Outstandingly, 1984’s Top 2-Year-Old Filly, and Sham, who won the 1973 Santa Anita Derby and battled Secretariat through all three legs of the Triple Crown. “His favorite horse was Sham,” said Martin’s son, Greg. “He always loved Sham.” Born in Cuba in 1925, Martin grew up in Havana two blocks from Oriental Park Racetrack, where he began his career as a hotwalker. “The only things to do were to … go to work on the track or play baseball,” he once said. “I was a lousy ballplayer.” After leaving Cuba in 1947, Martin moved to the United States in 1949 and settled in New York in 1951.
