Citation (April 11, 1945--August 8, 1970) was the eighth American Triple Crown winner, and one of three major North American Thoroughbreds (along with Cigar and Zenyatta) to win at least 16 consecutive races in major stakes race competition. He was the first horse in history to win one million dollars. Owned and bred by Calumet Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, Citation was a bay colt by Bull Lea from the imported mare Hydroplane (GB), who was by the leading sire Hyperion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation_%28horse%29

If you watch this documentary and pay attention, there is no doubt who the best horse ever was, and that my friends is thee Citation, I still believe he could bust out of his grave and beat anything on this planet. 19-20 starts as a three yr old, was actually 20-20, if you paid attention he would have beat bewitched, Secretariat could have never done this, and raced the Pimlico Special alone because they knew they wouldn't beat him. And to top it off he was just getting back to top form when retired, can you people imagine.

for Christians on youtube: 1woksape spiritual warfare
*it will change your life *we are in the greatest spiritual warfare and destitution in all of human history. It is the root cause of all that is going wrong in the world. Christians wake up, look out and pray. Prayerless Christians embolden the enemies of God and bring destruction on themselves and their nations. *God always wins.
* Jeremiah 17:5 ...trust in God, not in human beings or experts. -

25:58 Talk about hyperbolic. He didn't fall to his knees, he took a bad step, and the jock barely even moved from the saddle. I hate when they over exaggerate.

Citation was great, Secretariat amazing, But What about if these two horses has been lucky enough to meet Camarero the world record horse with 56 consecutive wins! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVXeceuT49s

WOW! I'm so glad I watched this. I have a whole new respect for Citation. What a horse!

what the hell was going on with the subtitles?

Citation was great, but I'll take Whirlaway.
-
at 8 minutes they claim Whirlaway was one of Bull Lea's sons. WRONG. Whirlaway aka Mr. Longtail was a son of Bheliem II and Dustwhirl. Get your facts right ESPN.

If they had retired Citation at the end of his 3yo year with a record of 29-27-2-0, and didn't bring him back lame as a 5yo would there seriously be any speculation as to the GOAT. Here's a little insight below to this magnificent animal.

Seriously, was a prime Citation better than a prime Whirlaway??? Most people seem to think so, but from all the research I've done, Whirlaway might have even been the best who ever did it! (In America that is.. ) He had a blistering and sustained turn of foot like none I've ever seen.

Wouldn't love to see see all the triple crown winners go at it for a winner take all race? I think it would be fun to see. I would take SLEW

When I was in college, Go For Wand broke her leg, I seem to remember that same year a horse reared up and died during a race. there was a lot of tragedy that year! does anyone remember the other horses? it was 1991 or 92? There are some horses that are born to run, They are the ones that truly enjoy it!

they need to do a movie of him
His place is perfect. He holds the spot between Man O War and Secretariat.
This time belongs to Citation.
