Secretariat would have beaten yesterday’s winner by 8-10 lengths.
But horses are bigger, faster, stronger, better trained etc.
Just like today’s athletes, right?

Only one horse on the track didn't have Secretariat lineage.
I'm not a horse racing aficionado, but I wonder if inbreeding will become a problem, if it hasn't already.
Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.-

Interesting Ned.
I would have guessed 30-40% tops had Big Red’s lineage.
I knew that Secretariat made a ton as a stud. But, surprised that 50+ years later, 18 of 19 contenders are his offspring. Incredible. Obviously, a testament to his greatness.

5 lengths per second on a good track. Compare the finishing times.
Secretariat might be actually closer to 10-12 lengths.
