1) Secretariat, Spectacular Bid, Skip Away
2) No Skip Away is the best horse to never win a triple crown
3) Storm Cat
4) 10
5) Gander and Butterface (its a close tie)

1. Secretariat, Man O'War, Seattle Slew (including the breeding shed)

3. I'd say Seattle Slew.
4. 11
5. Secretariat

1. Citation, Ruffian, Secretariat (.... probably should put Man O War but hey... Ruffian gets my vote).
2. No, he was one of a few...
3. Don't know.
4. 10
5. Present day... Rakti
From the past..... maybe Coaltown, Affectionately or The Bid.

I'll just answer #2.
Alydar was a better broodmare sire than Affirmed was.
As far as "on the track"...Spectacular Bid.

best three all time? oh boy... man o war, northern dancer, seattle slew.

best to never win a tc race. i agree about alydar.

best horse ever to breed....well, how far back do you want to go? lexington immediately springs to mind. more modern? northern dancer is a legend for good reason...then there's his son danzig. 188 stakes winners(hence my name on here), highest in the world til another son of northern dancer passed him (sadler's wells) and then danzigs son danehill. but danzig still holds the record in north america.

1-10...well, it looked a bad deal for alex, but he made his recovery look easy!

lastly...favorite horse? ever?? seattle slew barely. too many to choose from!

I've been thinking about this and just wanted to say if i had bet (who you'd pick here), I would have thought...

Ruffian
Hail to Reason
