Besides if you play the using the logic of the most wins game, SB actually had a better three year old season than Secretariat did.
Spectacular Bid...12 starts, 10 wins
Secretariat...12 starts, 9 wins
While Spectacular Bid did a better two year old year than Secretariat did, I will concede that Secretariat had the better three year old year although SB also set several track records and won more races in the same number of starts.
Also, SB didn't win the only start at 12 furlongs that he ever had because he was sore. No horse can win over 12 furlongs if they had a safety pin stuck in their hoof the night before. Not even Secretariat.
Also BB, SB actually set a new track record in the Meadowlands Cup at the end of his three year old season too.
