No doubt, Man o' War was a great race horse. However, in my mind, Secretariat is the greatest race horse of all time. I remember jumping up and down when I was a teenager watching him race and screaming when he won the Triple Crown. When he won the third leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont States, he beat the field by 22 lengths! Everyone should watch that video. If you love to watch horses run, it's something to behold. I think if they had ever met, it would have been one heck of a race; but I do think Secretariat would have won that race.
