Was Secretariat great or was the field just mediocre, poor?

The winning time yesterday was 2:25.52 and Secretariat won the Belmont in 2:24. I did a quick online search and each second is equal to roughly 5 lengths. So assuming conditions were the same, Secretariat would have won yesterday's race by 20 lengths.
