   Does Secretariat still have the fastest Derby run?

Fifty years after his Triple Crown, Secretariat still holds the record for the fastest Derby ever run: 1:59 2/5 seconds. He still holds the record for the fastest Preakness run: 1:53 flat (adjusted after a teletimer error originally clocked him in 1:55 2/5).

Swiss Skydiver gave the record a challenge in 2020 when he finished with a time of 1:53.28, but Secretariat's dominance means he still has a grip on the record books 50 years later.
