My Hero when i was a kid, reading Walter Farley's books. Man o' War must have been Fire!
-
My horse has Man o' War in her bloodline and Secretariat :)
-
i LOVE MAN O'WAR! I have a lot of books on him. I voted for him as horse of the century! Thanks for this!
-
I would have loved to see to see Man o' War in person. He is the greatest horse of all time!
-
When I drive thru Lexington I always see the Man O’ War Blvd. 😊

great video..I find it touching that Man O' War's faithful groom, Will Harbut, died about 30 days before Man O' War died; some say from a broken heart. Truly, Man O'War "wuz da mostest hoss" as Will used to say... Man O' War....truly "he wuz da mostest hoss". I find it touching that Man O' War died about 30 days after his faithful groom, Will Harbut, who uttered those words, died..some say Man O' War died of a broken heart...

Just think, it will soon turn 100 years since Man O' War became champion and hero and there has been no other horse as close to perfection as Man O' War. Thanks for posting this priceless video.

beautiful horse...I have been fascinated by him since I was a child...

There was article in the Blood Horse many years ago. I can't remember the jockey's name, but he had seen all the horses from Man o' War to Secretartiat and beyond. He stated, 'Man o' War was, without question, the greatest horse I have ever seen".
-
Thank you. I'd never seen this kind of footage of Man O' War. He was my first horse crush. :)
-
I Had the privledge of seeing the great Secretariat and Man O' War was before my time but they have to be the 2 greatest horses of all time. However the horse with the biggest heart was Affirmed my favorite horse of all time.

For many people who know nothing about horse racing,all you have to do is mention the name Man o' War,and they will know exactly who he was. He was an American icon. He was also a very influencial sire(contrary to some who critized Riddle for keeping him a private Stallion),Man o" War's blood is still instrumental in the modern Tb. That along with his race record makes him a true TB God.

This is wonderful, new footage. He is SO amazing to look at, majestic! I love the first few seconds, you get a real good luck as he moves and turns his head toward camera, of his muscular shape and form. Beautiful !!

Along with Secretariat and Eclipse, this is one of the horses I would've loved see run live. He should've ran in the Kentucky Derby, so America would have 12 Triple Crown winners. Thoroughbred breeders should start breeding sturdy builds and strong legs like Secretariat, Man o' War and all those old time great horses had. Too many breakdowns on tracks these days..
-
I have a three year old registered Quarterhorse related to Man O War, I have had 4 trainers attempt to train him. I have pulled him early each time, as I did not feel the trainers were relating well with him. My gelding is an amazing horse.
-
Secretariat, Seabiscuit, Phar Lap and all the other champion Thoroughbred or Quarter horses were definitely fast, but I personally think Man O War could of out ran them all. He was like the foundation of all thoroughbred race horses. There will never be another like him.
-
I grew up in Eastern Oregon on the back of an Appaloosa. Magnificent beings. They are still highly prized by the Cayuse, Umatillia, and of course the Niimíipu (Nez Perce for the uneducated). God's gift to humanity was the horse.
-
He's my horses great great great grandpa too! I didn't even know when I got him.
