You're undoubtedly basing your opinion on the great year Spectacular Bid had as a 4YO.
While they were about equal as 2YOS ... there's no comparison as 3YOS ... Secretariat was much, much better.
Secretariat was unable to race as a 4YO because of pre-Reagan socialist death taxes. A straight-up comparison of what they did at comparable ages ... shows Secretariat winning ... ridden out.
