Answer 4

the super horse Secretariat! then went on to win the Preakness and Belmont. and the Belmont is still at record from Secretariat, and not any horse has come with-in a time of 9 seconds!

Answer 5

Secretariat-- 1:59 2/5 seconds.  

Monarchos was the second-fastest Derby winner, but the second-fastest Derby ever run was by Sham, who ran second to Secretariat in 1973.  He ran the 1-1/4 mile in 1:59 4/5.

I always thought it was a shame that Sham had to be born in the same year as Secretariat.  He was a fantastic colt, with a lot of courage, but many people only know him out of pity for being Secretariat's shadow.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Monarchos had the third fastest time.  Secretariat had the first and some horse that ran back in the 1980's had the second.  What more do you want to know?
