In my opinion, both Spectacular Bid and Affirmed were clearly better than Secretariat. I think that any top 10 list that doesn't include Affirmed is not legit.

of course the fun part about this type of discussion is that is unanswerable. my point with this thread was that affirmed should be included in this unanswerable discussion. if the three of them lined up against each other going 10 furlongs.....any of the three of them could win. but if i had to answer the unanswerable question........putting money on either of the other two horses would mean betting against secretariat. watch all of his triple crown races again.......does that seem like a wise proposition? |

I think u and Sniper misunderstand what I mean when I say clearly better. I don't mean that I think they would beat the hell out of him by 5+ lengths. I mean that I think that the majority of the time, they would beat him. I'd say maybe 7-3 if it were Bid and 6-4 if it was Affirmed. In my opinion, that's clearly better. Sort of how u might watch a European race and see that the winning margin was 1/2 length and see the comment saying that the winner was dominant throughout. I don't saying clearly better means would dominate. Just means that I have no doubt who holds the advantage, however large or small it might be.
