The closest any horse has come to break the Secretariat's record was Monarchos, who won in 2001. Monarchos' winning time was 1:59.97, which is more than a half-second slower than Secretariat. Monarchos won the Derby in under 2 minutes, becoming the second horse in Derby history with this achievement. So far, no other horse apart form Secretariat and Monarchos has broken the 2-minute barrier at the Derby.  In the Preakness, Monarcos was overtaken early on and came in sixth of the eleven runners. He then finished third in the Belmont Stakes, more than thirteen lengths behind the winner, who was Point Given. It was only after the race that they discovered that Monarchos fractured his right knee. Because of the injury he had to finish the season early. He was going to return as a four-year-old but he injured a tendon during the training and had to retire.
