Valid excuses were something he never needed between the distances of 7 furlongs and 10 furlongs - going 24-for-24 with 14 Grade 1 wins - setting or equaling 8 track records - and having 23 of those 24 wins coming by margins of 1.5 lengths or greater.

Not to turn off-topic from this fine thread that makes you ponder hypothetical 12 furlong races featuring Seattle Slew and Sir Barton sending for the lead....

But, upon a further review of the picture....




Eli is Gold.

Ignoring the above segue ... I have to go with Secretariat, based upon what he did without even being challenged. If someone else was there to look him in the eye ....

Assuming Secretariat runs 2:24 .... he wins.

Am I missing something here?
He ran the race in 2:24 and won by 31 lengths. I think Big Red would beat any of them at any distance but going 12 furlongs at Belmont he would be the most likely winner by far.
I would use Affirmed and Citation to fill out the trifecta.

Even if the Bid was allowed to participate in the race with the actual TC winners, I don't think there is any way he could handle Sec (or probably not the other two) at 12f.
