"Secretariat had it all his own way because he faced no Spectacular Bids, no Seattle Slews, no Affirmeds, Dr. Fagers, Buckpassers, etc. If he had, no one would be talking today about a 31-length margin of victory."
Mr Harris,
That's one of the silliest statements I've ever read.
Secretariat could only race what was put up against him in that race, and he beat them by 31 lengths.
You don't need to be Einstein to work out that Champions don't beat other champions by 31 lengths, so you're telling us nothing.
Like Secretariat, many other great horses have raced opposition that were considered far inferior to themselves, so Mr Harris, can you name me one other great galloper who has won a GR1 race by such a margin.
