Secretariat is a genetic freak and his win at Belmont Stakes is still jaw dropping since he just doesn't fucking stop sprinting for 1.5 miles straight.
Zenyatta is an unusual end closer in American racing who has a dance like Oguri before a race and would win most of her races by a small margin. 2009 Breeders cup is pretty much everything good about watching her and it's where she became the only mare to ever win that cup and she won it from the back.
Sunday Silence was sick and awkward as a foal, had a weird gait, and ended up turning into a monster on the track. The 1989 Preakness is amazing to watch to this day.
