Believe me, I wasn't adding the numbers to say Secretariat would win, I was trying to give some context to it and the early fractions. Secretariat would've won at 3 years old period. Secretariat is the only horse, ever, that could run 3/4 faster than they did in this derby and not give up the lead. He had a giant heart literally and was a freak that could pull it off. Secretariat was a super horse. Rich Strike is a decent horse that got lucky to run in a race with suicidal fractions.
