What the Nation is saying about Secretariat...

Azeri became the first female since Lady's Secret in 1986 to receive the Eclipse Award for Horse of the year.Read More
Riva Ridge was the horse that got me interested in horse racing. To this day, he is still my all-time favorite. This is the story of my love affair with the “other” big, beautiful stallion from Meadow Stable.Read More

Lets just settle this now: Him and Man O' War were both amazing horses, and of equal greatness. No matter what their "ranking" they were both legends and one of the best if not the best, of their time.
  • Mary Z. · He and Man O' War were amazing, agreed by most. Anything else about them is debatable and many enjoy debating. They have thick skins about it. No worries. · 14 days ago ·

Two days ago he was at 9.36 and today he's down to 9.34. It looks like the Man O' War maniacs are purposely giving him low scores just to get Man O' War - who doesn't deserve to be - back to number one. Seriously, if you give Secretariat less than a 10 you don't belong on a racing forum that solicits fans' opinions.

  • HorseDynasty · jackie999, It is the fact that this racing forum does solicit opinions that allows you to post your OPINION on the rating of secretariat. If everyone had to rate him a 10, having him in the ranking system would be a moot point would it not? · 15 days ago ·

  • 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. · 24 days ago ·

Monmouth Park’s biggest day of the year is the Haskell. There is great racing and a really big crowd. A lot of the crowd comes to increase their collection of racing memorabilia with the traditional Haskell Hat giveaway. Monmouth has been giving hats away since at least 1988.Read More

Saw him up close at Canadian International in 1973, his last race. Best looking race horse I have ever seen. Muscles on muscles, an unforgettable aura. In his prime, he beats any horse that ever raced.

#2!?!? NOT RIGHT AT ALL!!!!!!!!
Agree with you about the Bid, Deadheat. He certainly belongs on the short list of the very greatest. I have to rank him behind Secretariat and Man O'War, though, because unlike them he was never able to win at a distance beyond 1 1/4 miles. Although he ran well and may not have been at his very best, Bid did try twice unsuccessfully at 1 1/2 miles. In addition to winning at 1 1/2 miles, both Secretariat and Man O'War also won at 1 5/8 miles. Plus, both set records in their long distance performances.
This is the greatest horse of all time...and there's very little argument to the contrary.

Like it or not, Riva Ridge was not adored by the public nor was he the performer that Big Red was. Riva Ridge the movie would never have been made. Movies are often dramatized. It is about ticket sales. Riva Ridge did not win the Triple Crown. That is that.
