Kelso holds the record for a mile and a half on turf at Laurel. He was 7 years old carrying 126 lbs and clocked 2:23.80 in the Washington DC International in 1964. I was there watching from the rail. Secretariat ran the Belmont in 2:24 also carrying 126 lbs, at 3 years old. During Kelso’s time, thoroughbreds ran races closer together, almost weekly. Today’s stakes winners run monthly. One important fact that was excluded from the narrative, Kelso won 5 consecutive Horse of the Year titles 1960-1964.

There are many iconic racehorses so to limit it to 10 is not realistic. Desert Orchid was iconic as was Arkle as was Nijinsky (I have one of his GG grandsons). So very many have continued good bloodlines to produce some of the beautiful TBs we have today. There are other horses in other sports all absolutely lovely but for me, the TB is the F1 of the equestrian world and you don't get better than that.

What about the incomparable Kincsem?? You think Frankel was great with 14 straight wins? Kincsem's record, which stands to this day, is FIFTY FOUR starts and FIFTY FOUR wins. In four different countries.

@theOlLineRebel 4 месяца назад

Yes and no, but she is “iconic”. Short list should be easy to fill with icons. As far as Kincsem, huge English fish in the tiny pond of Hungary. Hardly raced anywhere else, and her strong English blood meant she was likely to dominate. She raced only 2 serious races, 1 each in France and England (Goodwood). 6 of those races were walk-overs, so really just 48 races (still huge). Context. Not quite as guaranteed great as made out to be.

@melisor9894 4 месяца назад

Not sure why you assume that Hungary was a "tiny pond" of horse racing in the 1870's. More like a "hot bed". But I digress. "Hardly raced anywhere else"? In her juvenile season alone, Kincsem raced and won 10 times: 2 in Hungary, 6 in Germany, 1 each in Austria and Czechoslovakia. Do you consider the Grosser Preis von Baden ( which she won TWICE) a backyard race? It was one of the biggest races on the 1878 calendar, was part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series, and is still a Group 1 race. The horses she defeated were not "dominated by strong English blood" many of these horses came from the same bloodlines. The idea that Kincsem only raced against backyard nags is ludicrous. To quote Dr Charles Justice : " She may, indeed, be The Greatest Horse of All". @@theOlLineRebel

@theOlLineRebel 4 месяца назад

@@melisor9894 I am certainly not fully familiar with Austro-Hungarian (yes, they were 1 empire, so not really separate "places") pedigrees and how much of the origin English blood they used, but there is little doubt almost no talk is ever made of any national racing on the world stage in Europe except mother England, and a bit of France. To argue it's on par is like saying Maryland (today, not 100 years ago) or Illinois is on par with New York in quality racing. Everyone knows that is not true. Taking it a bit personally. I am a Marylander, and very proud of our heritage in racing, but to say it's high-class over the last 30 years or more is delusional. I especially don't like it because it USED to be great, and has fallen hugely while New York remains and Kentucky got better (as well as California). To say any other state has or had the same quality is just silly. There is no comparison and besides Kincsem, no one talks about "Austro-Hungarian racing" in the big racing histories. You can also tell by how few horses ever appear with those various nationalities as birthplace in major legend (or even just best of the year) pedigrees. Not personal, just true.

@melisor9894 4 месяца назад

Well, no one is going to talk about "Austro-Hungarian racing" because between WWI, the Treaty of Trianon, Kun's Red Terror, WWII and the assorted Communist regimes, very few racing TB's survived slaughter let alone being able to race. Horse racing was considered elitest and race courses, stables and written records were routinely destroyed. I found this out first hand when I went to Hungary during the time of the "Hungarian Peoples Republic" (and don't think THAT wasn't scary at times). Yet monuments to Kincsem and streets bearing her name.survived: Even Kruschev couldn't overcome her legend. My escort told me that Kincsem was to be celebrated as a victim of Capitalist Exploitation. Okay, whatever. If that is not lasting fame in the face of rewritten history, what is? I truly believe that had it not been for Charles Hancock Reed (may he rest in peace and sing with the angels) and "Operation Cowboy," not only the Lippizan but many other Polish and Central European bloodlines would have been lost. As a native Californian, I take a modest pride in my states' providing refuge for many of those horses at Kellogg Ranch, Cal Poly Pomona and Camp Pendleton. Kudos on your loyalty to Maryland Racing. I was enthralled by "Thoroughbred" the series about Bonita Farms and it's adaptation to changing times. Given the subject of your presentation, most famous horses, and iconic horses, I humbly submit that Kincsem deserves a place on the list. @@theOlLineRebel

@theOlLineRebel 4 месяца назад

@@melisor9894 We can certainly agree to disagree. Since this was a top 10, I don't think even world-wide Kincsem could truly make it based on my views. It is very amazing you went to Hungary and that Kincsem is so revered there. To wit, do you know about Billy Barton? Maybe not. Laurel has a statue of him outside the grandstand, and he is buried on his owner's estate around the corner from me. For some he was a big deal, going to the Grand National 2x and winning alot in steeplechasing. Yet most don't know who he is. He is not even in the Hall of Fame here. Legend? Who knows. Perhaps a local legend, but maybe not on the scale of Battleship or Lonesome Glory. Back to this list, some I cannot believe are not on there (Phar Lap), and others, why (War Admiral)? Oh wait - famous. That is the only word. Or iconic. From that standpoint, yes, I could see Kincsem making it. (Still don't think WA would be on top 10 "famous" lists in 2024.)

Ok I HAVE to make a correction to what all this is. Man o’ War was a whole world faster than the horses around him. His stride length was the longest ever recorded among thoroughbreds TO THIS DAY. He was also wildly popular, even among the people who had never seen a race before. Man o’ War SHOULD NOT be third. In my opinion, even 2nd is a wild understatement. But, then again, this is just my opinion. Everyone is allowed to have their own. Also-Red rum as 4th??? What is this….I don’t own horses. Compared to people who do, I know little about them. But looking at EVERY SINGLE ranking of racehorses on google, NOTHING mentions him as even IN the top 10 of thoroughbreds. *me realizing this video was about popularity not stats* 😢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Actually that is proper English. Even racing publications did that, until recently. Animals are generally not treated as humans.

@@theOlLineRebel Horses are different. And i wasn't talking about proper English, but rather good manners and respect. Besides, why can't we give them the courtesy of their genders? If they could talk, I bet they'd do that for us!

@@jimmiemurvin1871 It's not a matter of "manners" or "respect" nor "rude" to use "it" when referring to animals (and they are not different - as a German Shepherd fan, you can't get much better). I myself prefer to state the animals with their sexes, but in grammar it is perfectly correct to simply have them as neutral. Nothing wrong with it. I read ancient DRFs pre-1925 all the time and frequently even those horse lovers and occupationists use neutral. But yes, I myself use "its" sex if I know "it".

They were of course the 3 foundation stallions for the TB. But this nonsense omits the likes of ECLIPSE, who is possibly THE most influential TB of them all.

@theOlLineRebel 4 месяца назад

The title is pretty broad, so I guess you could be correct. Heck, it doesn’t say “thoroughbred” or “racehorse”, so it could be Justin Morgan, or Dan Patch, or Trigger.

@marthacalkins8054 3 месяца назад

Came here to say this. The blood of one or more of these three runs in every thoroughbred who ever lived. Without them, none of these ten would exist. The Godolphin Arabian’s story alone is fascinating, and documented in Marguerite Henry’s historical-fiction book, ‘King of the Wind’.

An interesting if somewhat biased compilation of famous Race Horses, but with glaring omissions, such as "Shergar" and "Phar Lap" both mentioned in the comments here. Surely one of the most unforgivable omissions however, was the legendary "Nijinsky" who not only astounded the world with his brilliance on the track, but also passed on that brilliance to many of his progeny, many of whom went on to have eminent track victories, but were also successful at stud. These victories earned "NIJINSKI" the Very Rare Accolade of being named as " SIRE of SIRES"..!!

Title should’ve been about horse racing 👎 Wabout Genghis Kahn’s favorite war horse, Dulmukh- who helped conquer China, Emperor Caligula’s prized stallion Incitātus who was made a Roman consul, or General Custer’s Comanche- the ONLY survivor or at the Battle of Little Big Horn? Those horses sound way more historically significant lol

You forgot to mention Secretariat’s track record at the Belmont 2:24 and the fact that his jockey, Ronnie Turcotte barely used his whip in any of their races. Also, the reason for his speed and stamina was the size of his heart which weighed approximately 22 pounds or 9.97 kilograms.( no one knows exactly how much his heart actually weighs because they couldn’t bring themselves to remove it from the champion) Disney also made a movie about him in 2010. I know all about this horse so don’t get any facts wrong.

These horses 🐎 that are mentioned in this video were one of a kind and should be recognized with the greatest honor and respect. There are many other horses of a high caliber that should of been on that list and probably even better overall. Your list needs to be revised and give us the names of those horses that also need to be recognized. Know the difference between a She or He. It's embarrassing when viewers have to make comments and corrections. No disrespect to anyone . Use to have horses my pride and joy.
