While I would normally agree Secretariat and his Belmont win
made him one of the greatest horses of all time, the fact remains he lost
to a claimer, Onion, trained by the Chief.
American Pharoah now stands, in my opinion at the top of the chart of all time greats by winning the Triple Crown AND the Breeders Cup.
Until that record is tied, I will stand by this statement.
By the way, this field proved how pitiful the "competition" truly was based on
the finish of Effinex, who might have wired the field were AP not in the race.
Perhaps the scratch of Beholder ,might have altered the finish, but
it is at it is......
Certainly, to the point of the owner of Keen Ice stating he would beat
AP in the BC, where was your wonder boy today??????
let the debate/ rants begin
