* Secretariat holds the record with a speed of 1 minute 59.4 seconds in 1973. * Sham in the same race is credited with a sub two minute run at 1 minute 59.99 seconds. However the timing system used was not adequately accurate to certify for the showhorse. Sham is credited with being the only sub two minute loser of the Run for the Roses. * Monarchos in 2001 clocked the race in 1 minute 59.97 seconds.

* Secretariat's time in the 1973 Preakness was flawed when the timer malfunctioned. Using modern technology, it was shown he won in 1:53 flat, and now holds all three Triple Crown records.

SECRETARIAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the best horse ever he holds all records at the Kentucky derby and at the preekness and by 2 second at the belmont he is the best horse ever
The Kentucky Derby, The Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes. Only 11 horses have ever won all three.
Secretairat I think, Anyway he had the longest stride - the fastest racehorse of all time must be dancing brave? he clocked 10.28 seconds in the last furlong when he failed to get up and win the derby. no sprinters section timing can or ever has competed with that speed ever
Secretariat was the fastest horse that ever lived
The record time for the Belmont Stakes was set by Secretariat in 1973 in a time of 2 minutes and 24 seconds.
I think Phar Lap
Man o' War
In 1883, the hardy New Zealand bred, Martini Henry won the VRC Derby, the Melbourne Cup and on the following Monday retained his undefeated record by winning Mares' Produce Stakes.
Seabiscuit, who is the gratest racehorse ever!!! He returned from serios injury, to win the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap, with crippled jockey Red Pollard.
1:59.4 was he fastest and was a record set by Secretariat "The Greatest Horse That Ever Lived" at the Kentucky Derby.
The Preakness is the second leg in Americanthoroughbred racing's Triple Crown and almost always attracts the Kentucky Derby winner, some of the other horses that ran in the Derby, and often a few horses that did not start in the Derby. Two years before the Kentucky Derby was run for the first time, Pimlico introduced its new stakes race for three-year-olds, the Preakness, during its first-ever spring race meet in 1873 . Joan Cowin.
No, there is Arabian, Appaloosa, Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse, American Paint Horses, and mutt races. I know this because I am a horse racing freak. I keep a log on all TB race horses that have a chance in the big races (Kentucky Derby, Melbourne Cup, Belmont Stakes, etc...)
