Two things that really separate two of these records from all others imo....

Dr. Fager's because of the weight he was carrying....didn't know that, thanks Steve....he was carrying 19 lbs more than the horse he shares it with....

Secretariat for a whole lot of reasons, but the biggest one imo is that he did it by himself....he had no pressure and Turcott just let him go and for a horse to go that distance in that time without any horse hooked is the thing that makes this record simply amazing....
