The greatest thoroughbred race horse ever. 

My cat did what no other cat EVER did. He ran around MY living room.

DoubleDogDare54 in fairness you’ll find I was extremely unlucky in 23 of those races. No Winx like benefit races where my trainer packed the field with 6 stablemates!

👍😉🐴

🐴🦄😃👍☑️

Correct there my friend,

Sorry to tell you but Archer walking to Melbourne is a myth.

+Chris B Black Caviar was better than Zenyatta I'm afraid. That's not knocking Zenyatta either as she was a star. There are a few better in history though.....

True Brew pedigree. By the champion sire 'Greatest' out of multiple stakes winning mare 'Of All Time'. (Greatest x Of All Time)

🐴👍👍👍

+ferociousgumby Seabiscuit was a gelding and thus cannot be compared to any of the other sires in this regard.

+Tim Mocarski Seabiscuit was a STALLION - not a gelding - was not a very good sire - that I agree. But when you think you want to add something to a discussion - check before you make a fool out of yourself !

+Ivan Mees my mistake

What is the reason a very good race horse may not make a good sire?

+rainbow vision Please realise that the award off Champion is very artificial and cannot be planned or bred. Lets say you have a race of 20 top class horses, one will always win, but between the winner and the losers might be just a meaningless 2 seconds, or you can water the track, and run the race again and another horse wins, in practice, you need to breed 10 000 foals to get a champion horse, so much for breeders knowledge, stud books and pedigrees, its all nonsense. Champions are flukes.

Megan Proffitt what’s your number? True Brew’s is 1800 GREATEST

+Tim Mocarski The title of this video is tongue in cheek. This horse never even competed in a Stakes class race !!

Olympic 100m vs 5000m race. I know what event rates higher every time. Sprinters over dour plodders all day everyday 🐴😉😂

Pipers Son No need, really, since Horse of the Year has long been awarded in various countries. There are problems with your idea/list, btw. First: do you mean the U.S., or worldwide? Phar Lap is ineligible for the U.S., he never made a start in the U.S. If you mean worldwide, do you put a 3-year-old Man o'War (1920) over a 3-year-old Phar Lap (1929)? Do you put Phar Lap at 4 year old + (1930-1932) over the full of War Admiral's career (1936-1939)? For the 1930's, Italy's undefeated Nearco might have a better claim than either.

Sadler's Wells was the greatest sire of his generation, and one of the great sires in history. But his sire Northern Dancer is arguably THE greatest sire in TB history, and certainly of modern times. Sadler's Wells was the more prolific, and earned more leading stallion titles (in a smaller market). But for sheer quality of get, Northern Dancer is without peer. And he should get some of the credit for Sadler's Wells quality as a stallion.... Compare their stats, keeping in mind that Northern Dancer stood stud in an era when top stallions covered about 40 mares a year: Northern Dancer: 645 named foals 411 winners (63.7%) stakes winners: 147 (22.8%) Sadler's Wells: 2259 named foals 1224 winners (54.2%) stakes winners: 294 (13%) Elite stallions typically sire 10%-15% stakes winners. Sadler's Wells is clearly in that group. Northern Dancer's 22.8% is extraordinary, and unmatched. The Northern Dancer - Sadler's Wells - Galileo line is probably the single strongest stallion line of the current day. It would be cool if Frankel continues it.

jeff sohikian - Big Words. 🤭😴😴😴

Err? Yes.

+truebrew Err? NOOOO.

Equi no not the greatest ever but he still got a good home at old friends equine care retirememt home for horses?

+Chris B she was a sprinter

Hmmm three biggest races in the history of horse racing,its amazing one horse holds all three track records.Just go on your computer punch in great horse ever see who takes up the whole first page ,an i meant track records that held up not were broken an ten other horses broke the same record duhhhh

The timer doesnt lie times times times times

@mac Secretariat set 5 stakes records, 5 track records, 2 world/dirt surface records. You didn't specify the breakdown on Man o'War's records, so maybe Secretariat actually set more, though I seriously doubt that, you presumably meant records in 8 different races. Swaps set/equaled six WORLD records (which I am pretty sure is more than even Man o'War, maybe as many as MoW and Secretariat put together. But there are a number of horses, Man o'War and Secretariat only two of them, whom I (and most people) rank over Swaps. And Ruffian set 8 stakes records and 2 track records, in just 8 stakes outings. Though I personally discount her as in running for GOT; her 2 track records (or 3, she equaled her own record) were both at the sprint distance of 5 1/2 furlongs. John anthony said Secretariat was setting TRACK records, not world records, so he was not claiming no horses have ever run those distances faster than Secretariat did. Most of Man o'War's records have been broken, too, after all. And those that haven't been broken will remain unbroken for the same reason Secretariat's Belmont Stakes record/world dirt record is unlikely to be broken: there's little to no chance for it to happen. The Belmont, unfortunately, remains the only 12 furlong dirt race in the U.S., and it's run by three-year-olds in the spring. Older horses would have a better shot at breaking it.

@@johnanthony6664 Timers DO lie. Both human timers and the electric timers used at tracks. There was a controversy about the time the great gelding Game On Dude ran the 2013 Pacific Classic. Independent timers from Trakus Time had it at 1:59.26, Del Mar's official time (which was upheld) was 2:00.69. Discrepancies like that and of Secretariat's Preakness time may be fairly common, they just don't get challenged unless a stakes record is on the line. (Which was not the case with Game On Dude's Pacific Classic.) What does NOT lie is videotape, which is computerized and invariable. It was videotape analysis which definitely proved Secretariat had run in track record time.

neither are black caviar or phar lap

Killer Bees Well you have now! Arise Sir True Brew... yes you betcha, he was knighted this year for services to racing, oh and for being the Greatest Racehorse of all time!

+ed schwind Ed has a great point and everyone gets carried away by sec's belmont, but slew could run all day w/ anyone. In my opinion both horses had sub par jockeys. Alas, we'll never know. My personal fave is Dr. Fager, only way damascus beats the Dr is w/ a rabbit. Cheeers

+ed schwind Sec's Marlrboro Cup as a 3yo running wide and checked by Riva Ridge was still faster than Slew's 4yo smooth rail run. Therefore Sec > Slew even over Slew's favourite distance and annhilates him over anything longer.

@mac If by wondering about Chenery's 20/20 hindsight, you're alluding to the decision to retire Secretariat at age 3 -- if I remember correctly, she would have liked to have run him at 4. In any case, she had no choice. Her father Christopher died in January 1973, between Secretariat's 2- and 3-year-old seasons, leaving her with millions of dollars of estate taxes to pay on Meadow Stable. To pay the taxes, she had to sell off a lot of bloodstock, including syndicating Secretariat for a then record amount before he made a start at 3. She also syndicated Riva Ridge. (If her father had died much earlier, or if Riva Ridge had not been a champion 2-y-old and a successful three-year-old, she would have had to sell Secretariat outright and earlier, losing control of his racing career. Riva Ridge, far more than Secretariat, saved Meadow Stable, and Riva always remained her favorite.) The terms of the syndication dictated Secretariat be retired at the end of his 3-yr-old season. Chenery retained decision making on the remainder of his racing schedule. There was a lot of anxiety on her part, and that of the syndicate I dare say, regarding if the colt would live up to the hype of his Horse of the Year two-year-old campaign and the high price tag attached to him.

+Chris B Sham didn't break down, Secretariat broke his heart.

If Sham was injured during the Belmont, it was not apparent at the time. He remained in active training and was not retired until July, after pulling up lame from a workout. No one works a horse they know has broken down. Could Sham have incurred some minor injury during the Belmont that was subsequently exacerbated? It is possible. But he didn't come out of the Belmont lame, much less "break down," which generally refers to an injury so severe that a race or workout cannot be completed, or maybe if the horse turns up severely lame immediately after running.

hahahah. Phar Lap was a very good horse. Nothing More
