May 19, 1973 - The Preakness Stakes

We continue our look back at the 1973 Triple Crown run by Secretariat with the CBS broadcast of the 1973 Preakness Stakes. 

Once again, we were impressed by the broadcast and the group of announcers on the call. Add that to the amazing performance by Secretariat and you have an event worth watching.    On this episode we discuss:   - The controversy over Secretariat's time which didn't have a conclusion until 2012 - Haywood getting up close and personal during an intimate moment - Laffit Pincay and his honest assessment of Sham's chances in the Belmont - Jack Whitaker's epic intro dissecting the infield at Pimlico - The barely legible Daily Racing Form - much more....   You can watch the entire broadcast as it aired in 1973 by visiting our site here: https://distantreplaypodcast.com/ep-76-1973-preakness-stakes-secretariats-2nd-leg-of-the-triple-crown/
