Tabi (and alm):
I concur about Secretariat, but I think the race was the Derby.
If I remember correctly, Secretariat's 10F split for the Belmont was 1:59 & change. Since he finished in 2:24 flat, the final quarter could not have been faster than all the other quarters.
You are dead right on Easy's Belmont. That was the first TC race I ever saw in person. I was standing on the 2nd floor grandstand at the top of the stretch. It remains the most overpowering move I've ever seen.
Good luck Saturday.
