Secretariat is greatest "athlete horse" - like Bo Jackson akin to football - but Citation is the greatest all-around horse - akin to Rice or Walter Payton.
I love Secretariat as much as anyone but it's sort of sad that he overwhelmingly overshadows other great horses who had far better careers and were worked harder on the track.
Citation was handicapped so much in his races...weighing him down with extra weight and he still produced. But he's been forgotten because it was too long ago.
