Item Overview

Description

Man o War lost only once but finished atop the rankings in Thoroughbred Champions: Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century, published by The Blood-Horse. The superlatives attributed to Man o War have been equaled by few. Bred by August Belmont at his Nursery Stud in Kentucky, Man o War was sold at Saratoga to Samuel D. Riddle of Pennsylvania. Nicknamed Big Red, the high-headed chestnut son of Fair Play went on to win 20 of 21 starts and was titled a champion at 2 and 3 as well as Horse of the Year in 1920. Man o War was a leading sire, and his influence on American breeding was immense.
