I wonder just who is the greatest of all time, overall it’s just between 4 wonderful race horses never to be forgotten, and I’m talking about flat racing: Man’o’war, Secretariat, Frankel, Dancing brave, the times, the speed, the sheer power would have to go to the fantastic unbeatable FRANKEL, as a travelled race goer for a number of years, I thought I’d seen it all with the brilliant SECRETARIAT, but then along came the MAGNIFICENT GIANT FRANKEL, I witnessed something at the headquarters of flat racing Newmarket I will NEVER EVER FORGET, Frankel in the 2000, Guineas against a very strong field of group 1 winners was 15,lengths clear of the field at half way and cantered home, I thought this can’t be happening it did, he repeated the feat at Royal Ascot in the Queen Ann, by 11 lengths, and remained unbeaten in 14 races of pure class,

One of the thirteen crosses has been replaced with a Star of David to mark the spot where firefighter David R. Navon (who was Jewish) fell. See my video "A Star For David" for the details.

While Big Red was certainly super cool and utterly GORGEOUS, the king of American racehorses is the legendary Seattle Slew IMO. Thank you for the beautiful video :)

Very nice tribute to some of the greatest thoroughbred race horses. And using that song by Phil Collins was fitting and a perfect song for this.

1973 was a remarkable year in sports. Not only did Secretariat win the Triple Crown and set track and world records in all three races, but Nolan Ryan won 20 games for the first time in his career (21), while setting a single season record for most strikeouts (383), throwing two no-hitters, 26 complete games, and 4 shutouts. On September 27, Ryan went 11 innings vs. Minnesota and posted 16 K's to top Sandy Koufax's single season strikeout record.

So tired of hearing about Big Red being the greatest ....maybe of his generation, but if you could compare him to horses of the past....well it would be a different story.......Round Table in the 1950;s.....just check out his record..........never carried less than 130 lbs .... won on all track surfaces , won the Hollywood gold cup ...carried 137lbs....raced 66 times... horse of the year twice....raced all over the US..........how many times did Big Red run....highest weight carried 129lbs..... how did he do on off tracks outside of Belmont Park and few other tracks, where did he do his best running....who did he beat.........were his opponents better than those of the 1950s;......RT held multiple track records and accomplished them at the fore mentioned weight........no way to state for sure, but if Rt and Big Red carried the same weight based on times with weight included....RT would crush Big Red..............However one must agree that it is almost impossible to compare athletics of different eras........just check out his record.

Yeah the crazy thing about Secretariat was that he could run without other horses pushing him in the Belmont he just kept running faster and faster and nobody was pushing him there were no other horses even close to him God was pushing him

In the heirachy of Royalty, there are Princes and Princesses, there are Kings and Queens, but the pinnacle of Royalty is the title of Emperor. Surely the legendary and Immortal SECRETARIAT, whose records have never been equalled let alone beaten, so far..deserves to be considered as the "Emperor of The Equine World "...?

This brings back so many memories! Watching Riva Ridge the year before Secretariat ignited my passion for horse racing. That triple crown for Secretariat certainly was a marvel. The Kentucky Derby, as I recall it, was a very close race; the Preakness not so much; but then the Belmont .... just WOW. I can still hear the race announcer saying "he is running like a tremendous machine!"
