It depends on the distance the race is run over and the track conditions but generally 5 lengths to the second is a good guide.

One second is equal to five horse lengths, so 5 seconds would be equal to 25 horse lengths. Secretariat actually won his Belmont Stakes by 6 and one fifth seconds!!

Who was the greatest thourobred horse ever?

For me the greatest thoroughbred horse ever is the "Big Red" Secretariat simply because of his greatest performances and track records. Secretariat has a world track record that still stands today and no ever horse can break that track record. He is also a Triple Crown Champion and winning the last leg "The Belmont Stakes Race by a staggering 31 Lengths. Secretariat was by far the best racehorse but i've also heard that he was a pretty crappy sire so that must be considered also.
