Man O' War is considered by many to be the greatest American
thoroughbred racehorse of all time. During his career just after World
War I, he won 20 of 21 races and $249,465 in purses.
Trained by Louis Feustel and ridden by jockey Johnny Loftus, Man O'
War made an impressive racing debut at Belmont Park on June 6, 1919,
winning by six lengths. Three weeks later he won the Keene Memorial
Stakes.
As a sire, Man O' War was impressive as well; producing more than 64
stakes winners and 200 various champions. Two of the more famous of
his offspring were Battleship, who won the 1938 English Grand National
steeplechase, and War Admiral, the 1937 Triple Crown winner. Another
of his offspring, Hard Tack, sired Seabiscuit. His son War Relic was
his most successful sire. Tiznow, Honour and Glory, and Bertrando are
all sire-line descendants of Man O' War.
