He and Secretariat have a lot in common. Both chestnuts, both known as "Big Red" and both truly amazing race horses...I think they're both the best racers God could've ever blessed our world with
beautiful i had to cry - i lost my mom in 07 and we both loved this horse so much - thank you for this - it reminded me of when i was younger and and my grandfather who also loved this horse was still here - sadly i have lost them both and i miss them and this horse so much so -i know he was from before i was born but some how this horse has always been a part of my family -
I have a photo of my grandfather with Man-O-War! His father was a livery stable owner and that is how my grandfather grew to love horses. The stories he told! ;)
They don't breed great horses like that anymore. They all have leg and foot problems becuz it's just all about the money nowadays,which should be criminal. The breeders don't breed for substance, they breed for something that can get out there and make 'em some fast money.
@hawk8414 you say that like there were dozens of MOW's!? Get it straight - God blessed MOW with supernatural skills and ability. We have not seen anything like it until 53 years later in Secretariat - nearly a twin in color, physique and ability. Probably wont see another reincarnation for another 25 years or so.
He lived to be 30 years old! Seems like so many other racehorses only made it to 19 or less. What a horse!!

They do not breed Thoroughbreds like this anymore, with substance and power to go with the speed.

Ironically the only time he lost a race was to a horse appropriately named Upset.
