OP the owner of Secretariat agrees with you.:francis:

Secretariat owner Penny Chenery was respectful when asked to answer whether American Pharoah was an all-time great like her former incredible thoroughbred.
But her response: Nope.


Here's what she told Yahoo Sports before his run at the 2015 Belmont Stakes with a Triple Crown on the line:

"I would question that. Just on the basis of times. His races have not been particularly fast. All he has to do is beat the other horse, but when you compare him with other champions — of course the condition of the racetrack is a factor in a horse's winning time but still — four seconds is quite a big gap."

She was like American Pharaoh aint shyt. :mjdrinking:

I was reading up on Secretariat and he actually had a Super Horse Rival named Sham.

The horses time in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness was 2nd and 5th fastest time in History and faded into obscurity

:ohhh:

Secretariat is a god damn thug with that doo rag on his head. Im glad commissioner started enforcing the dress code on the track.

All these fatherless horses just needed a strong role model like the commissioner.

Yeah, Sham was a monster too and would have won the Triple that had it not been for that anomaly Secretariat.

The '78 triple between Alydar and Affirmed was crazy though. Nothing between them.

It's all well and good having a sport where you have members of one race only competing. Wait till they start drafting some of the Africans into this race :mjpls:
