Two of the talking heads on ESPN's Around the Horn said something very similar today. Because other greats had lost and she hasn't, she must be the best of all time.

I guess to someone who has no clue about the game it might make some sense. if you have no perspective of how good some of the horses she is being compared to really were, the "she's never lost" arguement probably makes sense. I can understand people not following the game having such a flawed opinion.

What I'll never get is people that follow the sport thinking that.

That is what is so alarming about it. People who should know better are spouting such nonsense.

Since such simple arguments are made in her favor, perhaps simple arguments should be made in response. There is absolutely no way she even sniffs Secretariat's track record on Saturday; that just proves Secretariat was the superior animal.

I hope the Jap horse wins the race by 15 lengths,
