This is a matter subject to much debate.
The top two horses of the century, as named by "The Blood Horse," were Man O'War and Secretariat. Both were excellent racehorses; Man O'War was only defeated once, and that was very narrowly, after what was possibly the worst race in history, while Secretariat managed to set records in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes which still stand, and managed the incredible accomplishments of winning the awards for Three Year Old of the Year, Turf Male of the Year, and Horse of the Year, all in the same year - not to mention he also won Two Year Old of the Year and Horse of the Year together, the first time any two-year-old won Horse of the Year honors.
The greatest filly of all time was most likely Ruffian. Racing in 1974 and 1975, she had ten starts, taking an immediate lead and setting or tying records as she won them all. Her tragic eleventh race is a story that still captures people even today; there was a made-for-TV movie about her in 2007.
well its filly or mare.
everyone has there own opinions on who was the best race horse period.
So I will give you mine. for me and many others its Ruffian.
She won every race she was entered in and set a new tracj record in her maiden race and many others. The only race she lost was her last because she broke down during a match race against the male horse Foolish Pleasure. After that happened match races i think have been stopped. She ran in total of 11 races the first ten were against females only then her 11th was the match race where she broke down and died.
Personal opinion: ruffian won the first race she ever raced by 15 LINKS
Hm... There were many great race horses... Perhaps the greatest stallion was Secretariet (but I know some people who would argue) And the greatest filly may have been Ruffian, for she never lost a race except the one that killed her. I guess we will not know, for there are new champions being born every day.
Whether or not a thoroughbred race horse a filigree is a matter of opinion. Filigree means delicute or fanciful and whether or not that is how you describe a racehorse is up to you.
If the odds of a horse winning a horse race are 2 to 7 then the odds against that horse winning the race are 7 to 2.
Yes, it WAS a race, it is no longer a horse race.
The rider of a horse in a race is called a Jockey.
A horse race in which the owner declares before the race how much the horse will be offered for sale after the race.
Well that is really a matter of opinion on each individual persons part, however most people consider Secretariat the greatest horse of all time.
Its a one horse race means that it is as easy as winning a race against your own self (horse).
