Runner-up Sham ran the second fastest time ever!

Secretariat’s 1/4 mil splits were 25 1/5, 24, 23 4/5, 23 2/5, and 23. He accelerated for the whole race.

Secretariat’s final 1/4 mile of 23 seconds is the fastest ever in the Kentucky Derby. Sham’s 23 2/5 seconds is the second fastest, tying 1941 Triple Crown Winner Whirlaway’s previous record.

Secretariat thunders past the field at Pimlico, accompanied here by a “Superman” soundtrack; another stakes-record time:
