Secretariat and Dr. Fager are two that one could justifiably put as high as #1 and as low as maybe 10th or 12th.
If you ran a rabbit at Dr. Fager he wouldn't run up to his par. He also missed some important dances. Secretariat had five uninspiring performances at age 3 -- and he didn't race at age 4. Both horses were incredible on their day -- and both proven on turf (however much you value that)
Kinscem is a hysterically awful selection. She doesn't belong in a top 1,000.

I have to agree about Secretariat, he was a great horse, but also turned in some poor at three (The Wood, Whitney and Woodward), He did not race at 4, So for me The Bid's complete body of work surpasses Secretariat.
