Man o' War was a racehorse who captured the hearts of America in a time when horse racing was at it's prime.
He is considered the best; the champion of champions. Even to this day, some 90 years after he lived, and some 60 years after his death, he is considered the greatest horse to ever live, or set four hooves on a racetrack.
The only reason he didn't win the Triple Crown was because his owner refused to enter him in the Kentucky Derby.
He lost only once in a 21 race career. The only race he lost, was to a horse named Upset. When the race started, his back was facing the finish line and by the time he turned around the horses were pretty far away. Despite this, Man o' War still managed second place.
Among his children is the champion and Triple Crown winner, War Admiral. He is the grandsire of Seabiscuit, and he still appears in many of the Pedigrees of famous racehorses even to this day.
He is the horse that most racers are compared to. He is the "meterstick" of how great a racehorse is. He truly is "da mostest hoss ya Eva did see."
The Portugese man of war jellyfish is actally quite small, about three inches or so with a sail like arrangement that allows it to be blown in the direction of the wind which is often toward the shore in large numbers, where they can inflict a very painful sting. In South Africa they are called Bluebottles because of their light blue colour.

Man o' War had a casket.
Hoodwink
it is 24 almost 25 feet! Man O War was the horse that had this tremendous stride... some people think that it was secretariat but they are wrong secretariat had a significantly shorter stride... it was Man O War who had the longest stride.
Man o' War and Seabiscuit are both famous racehorses from the early 20th century. However, they are not directly related as they come from different bloodlines. Man o' War is considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time, while Seabiscuit gained fame for his underdog status and his rivalry with another horse named War Admiral, who was the son of Man o' War.
Sorry to disagree. The well-known Kentucky Horse Park, Lexington, KY, has a set of markers which clearly document Secretariat's stride length at 24 feet, John Henry's stride length at 25.5 feet and Man O' War's stride length at 28 feet. Regards, Jul G., horse owner, breeder and rider.
Man O' War set many track records.
I hope this helps all that are wanting to visit Man O War's grave. It is located at: 4089 Iron Works Pike, Lexington, KY. This is located at the Kentucky Horse Park.
SECRETARIAT!!!!! Actually Man O' War is the #1 Horse of the 20th Century, Secretariat is #2
The contraction of o' in Man o' War means "of."
