This is a saying, at least I'm assuming it is. This translation has to do with Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian race car driver.
Após a largada, Ayrton Senna ultrapassou Schumacher (Benetton) no pulo, venceu Jean Alesi (Ferrari) na primeira freada e surpreendeu Damon Hill em seguida.
Mas a alegria durou pouco.
Como bem registrou a revista Autosport, “em Spa, contra cavalos não há argumentos”.
Ayrton Senna foi vencido nas voltas seguintes pelas Williams e pelas Benetton.

Pablo Julián Davis
: This is the best, most natural-sounding of the options proposed. I suggest this tweak: "There's no arguing with horsepower". The formula 'There's no arguing with X' is super well-established in English, nearly 1 million Google hits.
