Sham was finished after the Belmont, sometime in the following weeks they discovered he had splintered his cannon bone (some say it might have already been a greenstick before the race), but healed successfully, and went to stud. Found dead of a heart attack at 23.
Twice a Prince hit the board in some graded stakes after the Belmont including a 3rd to the great Forego, but in '74 he broke down in a workout and eventually developed laminitis and was euthanized.
Heck, I didn’t even know which one came in second.
I fully admit I don’t know much about racing and only a little about riding (enough that I could saddle a horse and ride it from point A to point B if I was called on to do it) but I do find horses interesting.
Never been to a horse race, but want to go and stand down near the track when they go by...:)
