One of the things that is always overlooked is what Secretariat did on the grass.The Man O War was against Tentam who was considred and rightfully so the best grass horse in the country.The way Secretariat won that race (and i was there) made Elliot Burch the trainer of Tentam say i've seen enough.His 2nd race which was a Woodbine in a deluge with Eddie Maple up was again freaky.To run on that course in only the 2nd time on grass was mind boggling.They never tried Bid on the grass.They both were great and an argument can be made for both,but i'll always put Secretariat at the top of my list.
