American racing legend widely regarded as the greatest Thoroughbred of the twentieth century, whose extraordinary unbeaten career and dominant margins of victory established an almost superhuman standard of racing excellence.
Man o' War is widely considered the greatest racehorse in American history, an extraordinary bay who won 20 of his 21 races and was unbeaten across two seasons of racing in 1919 and 1920. His exceptional speed, extraordinary stamina, and dominance of every opponent — often by enormous margins — produced records that stood for decades. He retired to become the most celebrated sire of his era.
