Because Secretariat is also a Triple Crown winner, asking for the holder of the Kentucky Derby record time doesn't produce a new name, but maybe in a TOC they'd ask for the name of the previous record holder: Spoiler
Northern Dancer
. FTR, Secretariat holds the record for the fastest time in all three Triple Crown races. Take that, Usain Bolt!
The second fastest time ever in the Kentucky Derby was by
Spoiler
Sham, who finished second to Secretariat in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness (Sham's time was the 5th fastest Preakness ever). Sham tried to stay with Secretariat in the Belmonte Stakes, but ultimately couldn't match the pace and endurance and finished last. In any other year, Sham had a good chance to be a triple crown winner.

As with so many magazines these days, there are actually multiple versions with different covers (three, to be exact) -- my subscription copy has someone else on the cover (Camille Kostek, to be exact).
Despite the supposed name change, Tyra is "Banks" in the issue.

Was that actually a timed result? It was my understanding that the times for non-winning horses were only estimates, based on distance behind the winning horse.

Her signature song, "Que Sera Sera", was from the Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much (and won the Best Original Song Oscar that year).

While I won't argue with "Best known" for The Carol Burnett Show, I do think McHale's Navy needs to make the first cut of career highlights.
Personal additions based on being the right age at the time are Disney pics: The World's Greatest Athlete
The Apple Dumpling Gang
