Here is the answer to last Thursdays DUFLOCK Trivia question. QUESTION: What Triple Crown winner appeared on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated in the same week in 1973? ANSWER: Secretariat was an American Thoroughbred racehorse that in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown winner in 25 years. He set race records in all three events in the series – the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), the Preakness Stakes (1:53), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) – records that still stand today. He is considered to be one of the greatest Thoroughbreds of all time. In 1999, ESPN ranked Secretariat the 35th-best athlete of the 20th century, the highest-ranking racehorse on the list.
