Greatest horse in my lifetime. Put it in perspective, the time in yesterday's Belmont was 2:28.52. Secretariat broke the record by more than 2 seconds at 2:24. Running the same time in yesterday's race, his margin of victory would be pretty close to the same as 1973.

would have beaten the winner yesterday by five full seconds..how can one three year old horse be so much faster than any three year old before or since?

The second place finisher in the 1973 Belmont - Twice A Prince finished at 2:28.2...31 lengths behind.
So yes...Secretariat would have beaten Tonalist by between 31-32 lengths.
