Secretariat?


Image

Man O' War?


Image

Seattle Slew?


Image

Seabiscuit?



Or another horse?
This is a thread to discuss who you think is the best horse, please keep things polite, and also please don't say that anyone of these horses or horrible, because it's not true, and you could make someone else sad and/or mad by saying that. But other than that, feel free to talk about any legendary racehorse you want! Thanks! :D

And who are you, the proud lord said
That I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
That's all the truth I know.
And in a coat of red
Or a coat of gold
A lion still has claws.
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
As long as sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke
That lord of Castamere.
Yet now the rains weep o'er his halls,
With no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his halls,
With not a soul to hear.

I think Secretariat was the best racehorse of all time, personally. Because of these reasons:
1.) His win at the Belmont Stakes was very incredible and is an undefeated record of 2min 24sec, and a record 31 lengths ahead of everyone.
2.) He only ever lost those 4 races because of an illness, or once due to interference.
3.) He had the longest stride of any these racehorses
4.) He beat many very good racehorses: Sham, Onion, though Onion did beat him once, Riva Ridge, etc...
5.) His girth was 75"
6.) And this one is more of a genetic mutation but still: his heart weight 22 pounds

I'm not saying all the other horses weren't good, I love all of them, Man O' War, Seattle Slew, Seabiscuit, Ruffian, Affirmed, Citation, War Admiral, Sir Barton, Phar Leap, Zenyatte, Sham, Native Dance, Count Fleet, Assault, Upset, Gallant Fox, Omaha, Whirlaway, and Frankel. They were all beautiful, fast, and awesome horses, but I think, personally, that Secretariat was better, and probably couldn't beaten any of them if he ran like he did during the '73 Belmont Stakes.

Hhha. I am going to sound like a total looser but whatever, I love Secretariat mostly because I don't know many other race horses besides him, Man-o-War, and Sea biscuit. lol

That's okay. I do think Man O' War was the second best racehorse, because out of 21 starts he won 20, but he never beat Secretariat in speed, or beat him in lengths against horses that were actually fairly good racers. Because Man O' War did beat Secretariat in lengths-won by alot, but that was against very bad racehorses.
