Just kidding!
I think that while it is more exciting when a horse wins by a nose, they don't appreciate that! A horse, any horse, will run as fast and as far as it can...if it's enough to win by a nose or a football field, they will do what they can do! The most impressive race I ever saw was Secretariat's Belmont...wasn't a lot of doubt concerning the outcome but it surely demonstrated his superiority! There is indeed an old saying at the track that the great ones always win the close races...their heart just wills them across the line first. Tiznow was a perfect example of this...he simply refused to lose in both BCC races! Anyway...most talented horse ever? Secretariat!

Somerfrost,
I second your thoughts on welcoming Cricket to the board, and also about Secretariat.
Now...about "talented horses"...
There's one at the farm that makes farts that sound like the first six notes of "My Old Kentucky Home". You have to hear it to believe it!
My guess is that she's self taught.
