  • icyhotboo · If his season ended at 3yo he may have had the top spot. Personally I can't imagine a horse running any better than Secretariat's Triple Crown performance, and the Belmont has to be the greatest race run by a horse on dirt. The fractions are beyond belief. · 1 day ago ·

The amazing thing about this stallion is he was run like a claimer and HE WON. Against the best, not in the best health, against horrible track conditions...

  • LAZMANNICK · No argument from me. I might place Count Fleet a little higher. Two honorable mentions are Buckpasser and Round Table. If Buckpasser wouldn’t have been injured and would have competed in the TC races (the same year he won 13 in a row) I have no doubt he would have won the TC (he defeated the winners of all three races that year), and in doing so he would be considered probably in the top six or seven. Round Table raced in what is arguably the best three year old crop ever in N/A. He won carrying huge weights, at distances as short as 4F and as long as 13F, and was probably one of America’s all time best turf horses though he is possibly best remembered for his prowess on dirt. Certainly a great lot of horses. · 130 days ago ·

Loved this: Jimmy Jones, well…I once did a television essay for CBS News “Sunday Morning” on who was the greatest, Secretariat, the people’s horse, or Jimmy Jones’ Citation. Jones, who was 92 at the time, got right up on his toes, stuck his chin in my face and blurted, “They got one opinion, I got another. If you run them 10 straight Saturdays (against each other), go to a different track every time and take the weather as it came, Citation would get the most of them.” That’s passion.
the only horse that ever gave citation trouble was noor, at ggf and sa.
