No horse won the Triple Crown in 1970. The closest to that year was Secretariat in 1973.
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.
