I saw his grave at the Ky Horse Park.They say he had bad colic and ate too much too fast.He died I think from colic.

[carlykaiser]

He died from a heart attack

[Ordazed]

I read that when he was young a woman owned him with her husband, but he was sent to war and was out over sea so she named the new colt "Man o' War" then sold him to ...grr I forget his name but he owned man'o war untill the horse died.

Big red's owner was also offered 1mil for him, but his owner turned it down ^-^ what a great guy :D lol

Mr. August Belmont. The namesake for Belmont Park.

When he was sent off to WWI, Mrs. Belmont named MOW, "My Man O' War" but when he went to auction the 'my' was dropped. Sam Riddle liked the name, and kept it.

According to these researchers, other racing champions identified to have carried large hearts include Man o' War, Count Fleet, Citation, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Mill Reef, Nijinsky II, Northern Dancer, Native Dancer, Kelso, John Henry, Spectacular Bid, Alysheba, Easy Goer, A.P. Indy, Forty Ninerm and Cigar. A remarkable list indeed.

Which is weird, because Man O' War didn't have an autopsy

@cindylou6004able rscarbro isn't just a fan or faithful...he is a fanatic, the kind who wear blinders...Jim Jones, John Wilkes Booth, bin Ladan...quite a boor...

@Icecat62 You can never forget Secretariat! He had a heart 2 1/2 times big!

[rscarbro100]

@zXSwordXz Thats correct. It got the best out of both sides. He was lucky to get that were so many seen to have. not. Thanks so much for the information.

@rscarbro100 ignorant people will make such claim. Secretariat gets his big heart from Princequillo. Through science research they've discover that Male(Princequillo) passes his heart to his daughter(Something Royal) who then passes it to her son(Secretariat). Same goes for Sham who get his big heart from Princequillo other daughter Seqoia. Secretariat got his speed from his father side(Bold Ruler-Nasrullah-Nearco). Nearco was a short distance speed horse.

@cindylou6004able Your exactly right Cindy. Other horses are great & never said they were not. I respect any horse that is your favorite & must I apologize because Secretariat is much better than MOW. MOW can't help it because another horse came along & did things better than him. One thing I can not get over is that horse 'Secretariat'. He was just unbelievable was he not??(smile)

[cindylou6004able]

@rscarbro100 you are really something. Get over it. Other horses are great and have faithful fans too!

[BackstretchUnderdog]

Wow, he looks magnificent for being 28!!

[rscarbro100]

MOW & Citation lovers blame Secretariat heart was so big because he was given Steroids. Ridiculous to say the least but they say MOW & CY were cleaner than satin sheets. Thats the way it goes when you have hate in your heart for some horses. If they don't be careful that hate of thiers may lead to a heart attack from telling big lies.

Did, he was undefeted except when he was turned backward at the start (they had a band stratched acros the track, starting gates weren`t invented, or maybe weren`t popular, IDk yet), but Man O War finished second by a nose behind Upset!

He also won a match race against the first triple crown winner, Sir Barton! He later went to stud and Sired Man O War, and grandsired Sea Biscuit! He has a lot of champions from his line, he died from a heart attack and is buried at the Kentucky Horse Park.

[BlacknWhite232]

there has been no other horse like man o war. its amazing because he existed almost a century ago.
