I'm old, but even Secretariat's win was before I became seriously interested in horse racing. At first, when considering this virtual race, I thought well, the winner has to be Secretariat, after all he is recognized as the fastest horse ever in the KD, but what would happen, if Secretariat had been confronted by horses that were nearly as fast in the same race such as Monarchos, the 2nd fastest? As we all know, pace has a lot to do with it. Have to say, I don't have a clue. The only thing I know for sure is that the stars of today are not nearly as good as those of the past. You sometimes hear people say that things today aren't nearly as good as they "used to be" or "in the good old days" and you wonder the truth of that, but you don't have to wonder about horse racing.
