Kelso - #2 rated North American horse of all-time

[Calzone Lord]

Not only did Kelso won 5 HOY's from ages 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 ... but he captured the last of them by a wide margin over freaking Gun Bow and Northern Dancer in their only huge years.

Man O' War beat one serious horse his entire career - in a match-race - and that horse was battling injury and never won again. He wasn't exactly as fast against the clock as some might assume.

Citation was the most accomplished 3-year-old ever and totally great on ability as well - had they not brought him back off of a major injury - more people would consider him the greatest ever.

Secretariat's 3-year-old form had many great peaks - but also four pretty sub-par races for a horse of his caliber. Best triple crown campaign ever ... only Whirlaway's is even somewhat close.
