Man O War Blvd. is named for the most famous race-horse ever. Man O War had his career just after World War I and won 20 of 21 races. He is listed as #1 of the Top 100 Racing Horses of the 20th Century. Among the races he won were the Belmont and Preakness Stakes but he never ran in the Kentucky Derby. Man o' War died in 1947 at the ripe age of 30 of an apparent heart attack only a very short time after his longtime groom, Will Harbut died. He was originally interred at Faraway Farm, but in the early 1970s his remains were moved to a new burial site at the Kentucky Horse Park where his grave is marked with a sculpture of the famous horse. The story goes, Man-O-War died of a broken heart when his groom died.
