12. American Pharoah (he can move up though)
And before anyone says anything, I ding Secretariat for (1) not running at 4, (2) mostly running in restricted company, and (3) mostly beating stiffs.
But if i were to rank them on impressiveness IN THE TRIPLE CROWN, he would be in the top 2 and possibly number 1.

we get it already, you are a Citation fanboy who will do anything to denigrate Secretariat so that Citation appears on top. Give it a rest. Can't you lift up Citation without trying to lower everyone else???
For the record, Secretariat raced six times against open company in his final four months of racing. What more could he have done after the Belmont to satisfy you, if indeed he could have done anything to satisfy you? It wasn't his decision to not race at 4, and frankly we didn't need to see him at four to figure out he was great. Beating stiffs? Please...
