31. That wasn't the first time SI gave Secretariat the shaft

Edited on Wed Dec-23-09 12:46 PM by tonysam

He also didn't make the cover of the magazine the week following his sensational Kentucky Derby win. He won it by running each quarter faster than the previous one, an unheard of feat, and set a track record for a mile-and-a-quarter for this race, which still stands.

Despite this and a wonderful photograph on the inside of this issue of a head-on shot of his coming down the stretch, who gets to be on the cover? Mark and Suzi Spitz because they had announced their engagement.
