secretariat won the belmont stakes in 73 by a huge amount

 

Record Victory Margin:

• 31 lengths - Secretariat (1973)

 

how is that even possible?  most times arent much slower than the 2:24:00 that horse ran it in.   he apparently had a 22lb heart, 2 3/4 larger than the normal horse.  jesus.

 

a horse by the name of man o war won a race by 100 lengtsh.  thats ridiculous.
