Canton Mike Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm neither a gambler nor horse race fan, but I watched all those triple crown races & have NEVER seen domination to compare with Secretariat's domination of those fields. No matter when the jockey let him go, he simply ran away from the other horses. I'll never forget that. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rain Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Jim Thorpe, hands down. Given that he played both football and baseball at a high level (batted over .300 one season, and batted over over .500 in one world series with the Braves--playing with a broken bone in his foot), you've got to at least consider Deion Sanders in the mix.

Mike Well, Mike I watched em all................still waiting to see better.......maybe Deon Sanders can outrun a horse........whatever The thread was for serious thought for those who know sports......Big Red was the best athlete I ever saw.........if he had two legs it would be unaminous If only he had a brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballpeen Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'll have to see the movie. That big chestnut horse could run. If we are talking animals as athletes, I'll offer one rank bull: The PBR decided it best to retire him since nobody wanted to ride him anymore.

Let's call it a tie due to the different sports, but that bull WAS devastating. There was a great show on Bodacious that aired in the last year or so. After Tuff Hedeman came back from the injury in the tape, he drew Bodacious to ride & withdrew. Nobody blamed him. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
