Before there was Secretariat, there was this guy, Count Fleet. He not only won the Kentucky Derby, he won the Preakness 7 days later, the Withers and then the Belmont. Old timers say his actual win margin in the Belmont was closer to 100 lengths and to my naked eye it does look further than the 31 length Secretariat win. My point is that modern media blurs the past greatness of colts like Count Fleet who won the Triple Crown the year I was born thus sparking my interest in his achievements and he is my favorite Triple Crown winner.
