It sure gets a lot of attention, but I don't rank it up there with achievements accomplished by humans.

Greatest sports achievement of my lifetime:

hockey is a team sport....im talking single sports achievement...what Secretariat did that day transcended racing, and they have been running the Belmont Stakes for over 150 years...time records and margin of victory unequaled for almost 50 years, and not even close. In a 12 furlong race, he ran the first 6 in 1:09 4/5, just astonishing...at the 1 1/4 mark, he ran that in 1:59 flat, beating his Kentucky Derby time, which is still the record..then took 2 3/5 seconds off the world record for a mile and half that still stands...and was hand ridden the entire race....a performance that will never be equaled...
