The Legend of Man o' War

Man O'War is said to be the greatest racehorse who ever lived.Bought in a yearling sale for a moderate price, the red colt acceded all his expectations as he grew up to race. He won 20 out of 21 races (the loss to a horse named Upset, which he defeated in their next two meetings.His groom called him "the mostest horse that ever was" and you will learn how he got that way with this book from Thoroughbred Legends. As a three-year-old, he already stood 16 hands high, thus earning his nickname of "Big Red."
