It seem that folks compare Secretariat to Man O War. What they are not acknowledging is Man O War and Secretariat was ciusin on Secretariat Sire Bold Ruler side. So greatness definitely ran in the family. There's no question that Man O War was incredible and a legend. But so was his cousin Secretariat. Secretariat did what he had to do to sescure the title of Triple Crown Winner, like his cousin became a media sensation, and a legend.
Wow!!!! Man O War’s birthday is a day after mine!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😁😁😁😁😁😁 A strong, beautiful, loving legend of thoroughbreds!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁😁😁😇😇😇😇😇🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Both Man o' War and Secretariat had this way of looking at their admiring fans and seeming to say, "I'm the greatest. What are you?" I love these horses.
Only movie I was ever aware of was going to be done in the ‘50s by Sid Luft. Judy Garland’s contemporary husband. They made Star is Born but had to shelve the MOW project.
Maria Ward Only problem with a movie would be finding some sort of conflict to resolve. Seabiscuit made a great movie because he was considered an underdog and had one race that was the defining moment of his career to feature. MOW was just so dominant and well loved that I can’t imagine a good movie plot without twisting history somehow.
They could probably tell the story of how Faraway Farms went to hell after the death of Man O’ War and Sam Riddle. His family was not interested in Riddle’s expensive hobby. The farm was sold and eventually developed into a housing community. They dug up and removed Man O’ War’s remains, and his statue which were moved to the Kentucky Horse Park. I don’t know what happened to his most famous son, War Admiral. If he was buried some place else? Not sure.
Mackenzie, Man O'War is the original Big Red and HIS nickname wasn't stolen like Secretariat and his connections. Do you think now that Secretariat has that nickname anyone would DARE use it again. Affirmed, Easy Goer, Justify, nope. Secretariat fans are as obnoxious as half the country.
He came from August Belmont’s Foal crop of 1917….which were sold at auction when Belmont decided to join the war effort in Europe. Riddle purchased Man O’ War for $5,000 in 1918.
It would be nice for a change for his racing groom to get some mention. Frank Loftus. What ever happened to him? Will Harbut was great but he was only his stud groom for about the last 15 years. He is not the equivalent to Eddie Sweat.
@@lynn7086 Well, the horse was 30 years old, usually the upper limit of horses. My point is, who worked with him during RACING, which is what made him a superstar legend? Not Harbut.
@@orbitsun How is a horse who lost multiple times absolutely definitely better than a horse who basically never lost, and set 8 records in 1 season? Without blinkers?
Man O War will never be "just another horse". Check out the pedigree line, and you'll realize you would have never made that statement. Secretariat did run (in one race) faster in each consecutive segment between the markers; but Secretariat hardly broke first from the starting gate. Man O War carried more weight, Man O War did not have starting gates, Man O War did not run on a manicured track, Man O War sired Triple Crown Winners, had the largest stride, and beat another horse by 100 lengths. Secretariat is a great horse who will go down as one of the greats, but there will always be the original Big Red, foaled in 1917.
@@ErinDindoffer Secretariat is an legend. To this day he sales books and his burial site draw thousands every years. What people forget is Man O War and Secretariat are Cousin on Secretariat Sire Bold Ruler side. Incredible talent, intelligence, endurance are definitely genetic. They were two magnificent cousins.
Absolute perfection.
Man O'War
will never be duplicated.
He will always leave any competition gasping and his fans' hearts pounding.

The GOAT!!!

Beautiful tribute to a fine horse!
People always say Secretariat was faster but remember the tracks are faster today and Man o War was always held back!
But secretariat was last all the time when he came out the gate
@@richardsmith5365 Man o' War also ran very often from behind.
@horselover and what
@ horsegirl in man o war time there was no gate the was just a line
He made his moves way quicker and he had more wehight then o war
Why isn't there a movie about this legend yet?!

I'm wondering the same thing!

Your still missed big Red

@dirtbikegirl920 MOW was the original Big Red.
Affirmed was chestnut, however, he was a golden chestnut…not a red chestnut. There’s a difference.
Won a race by 100 links.fact
He actually came from the Isle of Wight what sad story was an amazing horse
He came from August Belmont’s Foal crop of 1917….which were sold at auction when Belmont decided to join the war effort in Europe. Riddle purchased Man O’ War for $5,000 in 1918.
Huh?
My colt descends from man o war

Obviously those last 15 years was impactful because he had an heart attack and died shortly after Wilbur died.

MONA LISA OF THOURSBREDS
Man O War was the best ever until1973, when he became just another horse.
He is far from just another horse. He also desired to run and win like that runner-up never did. Without all the special equipment.
@@theOlLineRebel Sorry, he's just another horse. Get over it.
