Regardless of your preference, the horse is a legend in it's field. Congrats to the owners/trainers/breeders for the achievement...and obviously to the horse itself. I'm not a horse-racing person, nor gambler but I can see that it's a momentous achievement.
As for the argument whether it's a sport??? what actually defines a 'sport'?
...from the oxford dictionary;
"Pronunciation: /spɔːt/
noun
1an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment"
I'll bet
that Horse-racing pretty much covers that definition.
