oh, this should stir some controversy....secretariat. he lost 5 of 21 lifetime, yet is proclaimed by many to be the best EVER. the best horse ever doesn't lose almost 1/4th of the time!

now, his tc races were something to see. but come on, what about his total record?

Here's some from the last 20 years; Capote, Houston, Mister Frisky, Strike the Gold, Editor's Note, Red Bullet, Dollar Bill, Eddington and most Breeder's Cup Juvenile winners. I could go on...

Secretariat had a few "off" days which some of the other all-time greats didn't. However, when he was on his game, he was simply the best ever. He shattered track and world records at different distances, tracks, and surfaces.
