both Seabiscuit and Secretariat had huge hearts. the average thoroughbreds heart weight is 8 lbs. biscuits was 14 lbs and Sec’s was 22 lbs. so biscuits heart was nearly twice the size and Sec’s was nearly 3 times the size. so in a long distance run, sec would obviously beat anything on four legs as he could pump more oxygen into every muscle of his body than any other race horse that existed. this is why his record at the Belmont of 2:24 still stands and will never be broken. now as for speed biscuit was built to be a sprinter. he once fell behind as he stumbled at the gate and was so angry that he actually ran a quarter mile to catch up faster than the quarter horses of his time and the speed he ran it could not be broken by any quarter or distance race horse even to this day. when biscuit got angry he was astounding. both biscuit and sec had huge hearts. sec’s was monstrous and may never be seen again. so in a long distance race sec would win but coming down to the stretch in a shorter distance competition, biscuit would fly past him as he was built to be a sprinter. George Wolf said that Seabiscuit was built like a tank, the most muscular horse he ever rode. both of these legends were super intelligent horses.

Hard to compare horses from two different eras. Yes, Secretariat's times were about three seconds better at Pimlico than Seabiscuit's (during the match race). But Seabiscuit was almost two years older. Secretariat also had the advantage of better nutrition, better dental care, and better pharmacology. Thoroughbreds today do take steroids to maintain their muscle mass. Plus there is just no way of knowing what Seabiscuit would have done when he got a good look at Secretariat. The Biscuit ran hard enough to beat War Admiral. What would he have done if Secretariat had been standing there?

@@johnbougae8314 I am partial to viewing Secretariat as the greatest of all time, but -- times can be deeply misleading. Man o'War, who set more records than Secretariat, almost always won under a strong hold; only once was he seriously challenged. Man o'War wore heavier (steel vs aluminum) shoes than Secretariat did. Man o'War did not run on tracks that were nearly as fast as today's. Man o'War carried a lot more weight than Secretariat did in his races. This is not human bias: those are plain facts. And aside from all that, I suspect you'd be surprised at how many track and even world records have been set by obscure horses. Winning against top horses impresses me more than setting fast times, an attitude more typical of European racing fans than of an American, which I am. Times lie in other ways. Comparing times at the same distance on different tracks is always problematic (though I've done it), or even on the same track on different days. Heck, conditions can vary enormously on a track from race to race on a given day. And even within a specific race, the trip any specific horse gets can make a lot of difference in their time and the results of the race. The careers of both MoW and Secretariat are proof of that. Man o'War's sole loss was the result of a horrendous start; and Secretariat's fourth place finish in his maiden was due to being slammed between horses out of the gate and then impeded in the stretch. Man o'War was clearly the best horse in the Sanford, and Secretariat was clearly the best horse in his maiden. My knock against Man o'War (and also Ruffian, and to a somewhat lesser degree, Zenyatta) is that he did not run against particularly strong competition. He never met Exterminator, the next greatest horse active in the U.S. during his time; and he met Sir Barton, an excellent horse, on the wrong day. Sir Barton reportedly lost all four shoes in that match race. Secretariat met and defeated the best horses on dirt and turf active in North America at the time, with the exception of the European filly Dahlia, who came to the U.S. in November of 1973. I rank Secretariat first. But I wouldn't be shocked, were it possible, if Man o'War -- or Frankel or Seattle Slew or Dr. Fager or Citation or some other horses -- could consistently beat him at certain distances/surfaces. (Seabiscuit, though, is not one of those other horses. A great horse, but he is not in the running for top 10 of U.S. horses, much less greatest of all time.)

Its impossible to ever tell, some horses just like some humans are very competitive. Seabiscuit was a horse that was very competitive, he ran against the other horses in the race and Secretariat was a horse that could run against the clock. My meaning is that would Seabiscuit run harder against a Secretariat if he was in the field with him and the answer would be an undoubtably yes. And would Secretariat have anything more to give if he had a horse that could challenge him, we will never know because he never had a race that was close. Seabiscuit was said to run with his ears up (forward) and look to his side at the horse challenging him and then just shift gears and leave them behind. I have had horses like that that just seem to play with other horses working as hard as they can, and then just look back and kick dirt in thier face, and look to be laughing as they race away from them. The point I am making is that competitive horses only run against what shows up to run and if they are not that great they still win but just dont have to put out the extra effort because the competition isnt there. The movie Seabiscuit actually tells the story of the great horse War Admiral running against him and his jock telling people that he held him back so War Admiral could be brought up to challenge him stride for stride then said he was to let him go and watch what he will do. He was right,

Seabiscuit WINS! The Preakness, Kentucky Derby and Belmont tracks all played much quicker in the 1970s than they did in the 1930s, with much improved and quicker grounds conditioning. Secretariat's triple crown times average a little over 4 seconds faster than fellow triple crown winner, War Admiral. Seabiscuit defeated War Admiral by over 4 lengths and led wire to wire, in their match race. He also had one of the largest recorded jockeys riding him. Seabiscuit was also widely known to play up and down to his competition. Even track, even jockeys, one on one...Seabiscuit wins, with a heart 3 times the size of an average horse.

I have a different view - I think Seabiscuit could have beaten Secretariat. It seems from the stories of Seabiscuit he was intentionally held back until such time that he would see the competing horse. That was a problem in terms of achieving the best times - a big problem. He had training issues early on and needed to run that way. Had he been trained better, especially during his early years, this issue might not of held him back from running at his full potential - meaning he would have not hesitated to run full out at all times, as did all other race horses. At least that's my theory. Any thoughts on this?

Defeated a Triple Crown winner? Since only one TC winner (Justify) has retired undefeated, and only Justify and Count Fleet remained unbeaten after the Belmont (due to not having run any races after the Belmont) lots of horses have beaten Triple Crown winners. Exceller beat 2 Triple Crown winners, Affirmed and Seattle Slew, in the 1978 Jockey Club Gold Cup. Assault lost a total of 24 races, Whirlaway a total of 28, so it's a good bet plenty of those losses came after the Triple Crown. Secretariat lost 2 times after the Triple Crown, American Pharoah once post TC, Seattle Slew 3 times, Affirmed 5 times. Citation, ranked one of the greatest Triple Crown winners, lost 12 races after the Triple Crown. Two of War Admiral's 5 losses came after the Triple Crown.

People there are a lot of awesome horses , only one with the heart and legs of Gods “Secretariat” the greatest athlete ever period , everything else human or animal is behind in comparison , what that horse did is jaw dropping , the Belmont brings tears every time and why is that it’s because we humans got a peak at the real Super natural

I enjoyed the Seabiscuit movie better than Secretariat. They used some of the dorkiest moving horses for the races in Secretariat. They looked like they shouldn't even be on the track, let alone runnin. They used a fabulous horse in the Seabiscuit movie for the War Admiral/Seabiscuit matchup. Stellar filming, stellar movie!

Jason hi. I trained as a jockey prior a major accident. I have generations of jockeys in my family including two cousins now. I worked with thoroughbreds for a large chunk of my life. Secretariot was and is clearly the fastest horse known throughout history. It may have been a medical anomaly because he had a oversized heart. "around double the normal size". The point is even 47 years later the belmont race times are all nearly identical and even throughout its hundred plus year history. Except Secretariots race time wich is still over 30 lengths faster. 30 lengths is a remarkable difference. Like i said search all history. Even in ancient history. There is no horse recorded faster. We had a miracle. A absolute miracle and you can actually see it on video. And you can deny it? Sir i must admit you are a different kind of silly. Jason call any major horse stable in idk Kentucky. Talk to the trainer making a million dollars a year. Ask that person if there was a horse throughout all history they ever heard of faster than Secretariot. Secretariot is a Majestic Figure to Horsemen worth there salt. I still tear up watching the Belmont. In short to watch a horse in both the Kentucky and Preakness come from dead last and win both is nuts. To understand in the Preakness Secretariot was not only dead last but set even still today the fastest time on that race. Then win the Belmont by 31 lengths and you reject this horses Majesty? And you can watch it live on film? And that doesn't even count the fact that in the Preakness the second fastest time ever was by Sham in the same race. Jason you are just plain out retarded im afraid.

@@theaubad1006 Nope, I agree with the vast majority of racing experts and historians, Man O' War was the greatest of all time and it's not even close. When he retired, he had more Track records, American records, and World records than Secretariat when he went to stud. The AP, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Blood Horse, and many other publications voted Man O' War over Secretariat for Horse of the Century. I challenge all of your trainers opinions. Secretariat only has one record that still on the books. Kelso still has a more impressive 2 mile record that still stands to this day and he broke the record in 1964. Secretariats heart was not unusual for the day, Sham's was also twice the size of the average Thoroughbreds heart. Why? Well, Hall of Fame Trainer Elliott Burch said that Steroids became known in Horse Racing in the 60's and was rampant by the 70's, which easily explains Secretariats, Sham's, and other horses enlarged hearts. It also explains Secretariats issues at stud until he was cycled off of his Steroids use. Sports Illustrated wrote an article about Secretariats issues in the early 80's. Sham was Secretariats only competition, look at the race results of Secretariats competition, not very impressive. Man O' War didn't just beat the previous years triple crown winner Sir Barton, he destroyed him. Sir Barton had just set a World Record only three weeks prior to their race. Man O' War was by far the greatest, all without any possibility of Steroid use. Man O' War was bigger, had more muscle mass, and faster than the second and wannabe Big Red.

Jason obviously you never worked in the thoroughbred horse industry. That opinion is like saying flat earthers are the majority. Man o war was a great horse indeed. Not as fast by records as Secretariot. I and my family are generations of professional jockeys. I think i might understand horse racing better than you do. Saying you dont care what the top thoroughbred horse trainers and jockeys professional opinion is. Is ignorant and just shows you intellectually in a bad light. Its your opinion and i respect that. But its not a majority opinion in any stretch by the people who work everyday with these animals. Who specialize in this very sport, animal care, and handling. Jason im afraid you are a snowflake.So as a snowflake we disagree. So by snowflake rules we cant be friends. Goodbye sjw Oh dont forget your tin foil hat for you to enjoy in your safe space.

Greatness is best measured in adversity overcome. Secretariat had the unfair advantage of an enlarged heart, was not undersized, did not have physically defective knees, did not have to run close to 90 races, was not trained to intentionally lose the first half of his career, was not physically abused, did not carry the same imposts and lived in a more advanced era of edicine and training. Seabiscuit didn’t have any of those luxuries and still dominated. All of his by-a-nose losses were due to being blatantly fouled or his jockey hiding partial blindness. He smashed multiple records, travelled excessively and came back from a career ending injury... and I’ll give you one more... Seabiscuit’s fastest half-mile time, 44 1/5 in the middle of an endurance race at Santa Anita, is FASTER than Secretariat’s fastest half-mile time of 46 1/5 at Belmont in 1973. At the end of that same race, Seabiscuit did the impossibly by accelerating to race the final opponent to the wire... he had freakish speed, endurance and a refusal to quit. If it came down to 10 match races, I would wager Seabiscuit winning at least some of them and dying in the process. Secretariat had an anatomically oversized heart, Seabiscuit had a metaphorically oversized heart. That makes them the two greatest in my opinion.

Personally, I think this video is wrong on so many levels! True, they were 2 different types of horses. Secretariat was built! "Big Red", had thick cannon bones, a huge heart which made him metabolize oxygen more efficiently. His numbers have not been beaten in 44 years! Seabiscuit had shorter legs, a shorter neck. He couldn't have had the stride that Secretariat had. However, I know that most people thought that Seabiscuit was a dud in the beginning. He did show them! OK, my favorite was Secretariat. We all have favorites, we have to give credit when credit is due. Seabiscuit was a fine horse, Secretariat was an American Icon!

Secretariat was 16.2 hands high, War Admiral was 15.2 hands and Seabiscuit was also 15.2. Secretariat and War Admiral were both Triple Crown winners, but Seabiscuit beat War Admiral in a match race. There was another amazing time when Seattle Slew became the Triple Crown winner to be dethroned just the very next year, however in 1978 at the Marlboro Cup, he beat Affirmed who was the new Triple Crown winner.

A couple of the riders later said it felt like a freight train going by. I have never seen anything like that. As impressive as his Belmont was that burst of speed at the Preakness was the most amazing thing ever.

The thing that some may be forgetting is that SECRETARIAT, in the last half of the Belmont was running ALL ALONE, and getting faster with each stride! From 8 lengths to 31 lengths he had NO COMPETITION to drive him, because SHAM was out of the competition by the time they were 4 lengths apart, and no other horse bringing up a challenge, as Secretariat headed to a track record, (...,and NO WHIP, mind you!)! Seabiscuit - A FANTASTIC HORSE for sure, but I don't see him outrunning Secretariat!

Regarding Seabiscuit's colts. First of all, both died at relatively young ages (Seabiscuit at 14, Secretariat at 18). Both were bred to a limited number of mares, but even so Secretariat produced around 600 foals where Seabiscuit only produced slightly over 100. Seabiscuit stood at stud during WWII, when the sport of horse racing experienced a significant decline in the western US, and shipping mares to California was a bit more difficult than it is now.

Secretariat tugs at my heart strings. But time alone is an inadequate metric to gauge a winner by. Secretariat had a 25 lb heart. Seabisciut had a different kind of heart, his determination was his heart. Show him a challenge and there's no way to know what that horse was capable of or what kind of time he could record. Sure on paper he can't keep pace, but he can't read! And further, neither of these marvelous creatures give a hoof about this meaningless debate. Just enjoy God wondrous gift.

“no other horse could have done such a burst of speed in the middle of a race” - Actually, Seabiscuit was blatantly fouled at the beginning of the 1938 Santa Anita Handicap, another horse literally laying over his neck while the rest of the field ran off way ahead. Seabiscuit threw the other horse off himself, tracked down the field and, in the middle of this endurance race, exploded with a 1/2 mile time of 44 1/5, which was faster than Secretariat’s 1/2 mile Belmont time and is considered the most explosive demonstration of speed in horse racing history.
