I wonder how you would rank Damascus, Buckpasser, and Dr. Fager. (I was there!) Two of the, three or maybe all of them, are at least in the same class as Secretariat. But how would you rank those three, just among themselves? Then maybe think about how stupid your War Admiral-Seabiscuit analogy is.

“how stupid your War Admiral-Seabiscuit analogy is”

If you think it’s stupid to settle sporting controversies on the field of action, you probably also think the New England Patriots had a better season than the New York Giants. I guarantee that the Patriots and Giants wouldn’t agree with that opinion.

Seabiscuit at his best beat War Admiral at his best by 4 lengths. Reportedly the match race terms were dictated by War Admiral’s owner, who tried hard to dodge the race. It’s still available on video, in case you weren’t also there in 1938.
