He was without question one of the ten best American race horses of the 20th century. The Blood-Horse panel put him at #10 ... I think that was too low ... he was definitely in the top 7 ... possibly in the top 5.
Actually the facts point out the SB definitely had the better two year old season.

SB...9 starts, 7 wins, 1 second, two new track records.

Secretariat...9 starts, 7 wins, 1 second, no new records.
