Barbaro, the famous racehorse who won the 2006 Kentucky Derby, stood at about 16.2 hands high, which is equivalent to approximately 5 feet 6 inches at the shoulder. His impressive stature contributed to his athleticism and racing success. Tragically, Barbaro's career was cut short due to a severe injury, but he remains an iconic figure in horse racing history.

He had mapped the Gulf of Mexico. Was forced to go other places because of Hernan Cortes.

Yes. Ruffian, a filly, tragically broke down in a match race with Foolish Pleasure. Foolish Pleasure, a colt, had won the Kentucky Derby. The ill-fated "Battle of the Sexes" was held in 1975 at Belmont Park in New York. Jacinto Vasquez was the regular jockey for both Ruffian and Foolish Pleasure. Given his choice of horses for this race he chose to ride Ruffian. Most racing fans agreed with Vasquez's assessment as Ruffian was widely considered the superior horse. To this day Ruffian is recognized as one of the sports all-time greats.

Man O'War lost only one of his 21 races and that's because he hadn't turned around to face the starting line yet. he was also so fast that if the race had been a bit longer he would have won it anyways as he finished a fast closing second.

It means it won by the length of a horse.
