Classic Sports Card of The Day

08 Oct

From www.CheckOutMyCards.com , here is a 2007 Sport Kings bubble gum card of legendary thoroughbred racehorse Secretariat, who won the coveted Triple Crown of horse racing in 1973 by sweeping the sport’s 3 major races – the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and the Preakness. A large chestnut colt who was nicknamed “Big Red”, Secretariat was owned by Penny Chenery, and their story will be documented in the upcoming Disney movie Secretariat. The legendary colt was euthanized in 1989 after developing laminitis, an incurable hoof condition.
