Agnes Tachyon · Form Analyst · Expert Order
Frankel leads the expert list — 14 from 14, never asked a serious question, rated 147 by Timeform. Secretariat second: the Belmont margin of 31 lengths in a world record time has never been approached. Winx third on longevity. Black Caviar above Phar Lap — a perfect record speaks for itself. Flightline seventh despite his raw speed: six starts isn't enough for the top tier.
James's #1: Frankel — but Secretariat's Belmont haunts every conversation
