That's because Secretariat could not give his large heart to a son & only a daughter, & a dam can give it to a daughter or a son... Again, my point is...What kind(how fast) of a race horse would Secretariat have been without thew large heart/gene that gave him more wind/stamina than the others...?What does it matter whether he had the large heart gene or not? Sham also had a large heart and he raced against Secretariat many times- even winning once. Many of the Quarter racers have and breed on the X factor. Corona Cash?X factor doesn't mean anything if the horse doesn't have the conformation, train-ability, and will to go with it. In my opinion, THAT is what makes a great horse. Secretariat didn't have to win by 33 lengths, he had that race won out of the gate- it was his will to win that set him apart. Did Shecky Greene have the large heart gene? He was in the lead for a great distance over Sham & Secretariat ... Secretariat's large heart gave him the "wind" to win by 33 lengths...
