Secretariat at the 1973 Belmont Stakes

This isn't a foot race in the human sense, but it still is in the realm of the mammalian. Here's what ESPN says, calling it the greatest "beatdown" in history:

1. Secretariat destroys the field at the 1973 Belmont Stakes by an astonishing 31 lengths to win the Triple Crown ... "He is moving like a TREMENDOUS machine!" A performance so dominating spectators were weeping in the stands.
