Well, that's different. Secretariat is arguably the greatest ever and certainly in that conversation. Even so, after his Preakness, Secretariat's name and Spectacular Bid's name came up often in Smarty talk. Whether it was justified or not is not the point. Even if he wasn't seen as in their class, you can be a superstar without being in their class. There have been a LOT of superstars over the years since 1973 that haven't been thought of like Secretariat was.
