I didn't say that John The Gambler that was from a racing web site, but I do think that. She won 3 consecutive Melbourne Cups no horse in Australian racing history has ever done that not even the best horse in Australian history Phar Lap could do that. He won it once in 1930, when it was contested at 2 miles, he won by 3 lengths carrying 138 pounds unthinkable today. Man O' War is the closest your going to come to the "greatest race horse ever" and dare I say greatest horse of anybreed in history. It is unanimous with everyone in the racing business he was the greatest horse ever and all throughbreds that are labled as "great" are measured up to Man O' War, and so far only one has come close Secretariat.
