“Still considered by many to be the best American racehorse of all time, Man o’ War was put to the test only twice in his career: once when a closing second to Upset in the Sanford Memorial Stakes after a poor start and a bad trip, and once when conceding 18 pounds to the speedy John P. Grier in the Dwyer Stakes. At his best ‘Big Red’ was simply untouchable despite enormous weight concessions, winning easily and giving the impression that he could have done much more. He set world records for 9, 11 and 13 furlongs and American records for 1 mile and 12 furlongs and retired to stud after an effortless seven-length romp over the first Triple Crown winner, Sir Barton, in the Kenilworth Park Gold Cup. As his longtime stud groom Will Harbut never tired of saying, he was ‘de mostest hoss.’”
