No. This is completely wrongheaded.
American Pharoah very well might not run the same kind of race against Secretariat as it did against these other horses.
In any "distance" race (a race where you cannot sprint the entire time), you pace yourself, usually based on who your competition is and what they are doing.
Unless they actually run against each other, you can't know which would've won.
Maybe Secretariat was a faster horse; I have no way of knowing. But these two results cannot show that.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
