Product Description 
Man o' War didn't compete in the1920 Kentucky Derby because owner Sam Riddle thought the distance was too long for a young three-year-old. But nearly two decades later, Riddle had a change of heart. In 1937, he agreed to run War Admiral, a son of the great Man o' War, at Churchill Downs. War Admiral went on to sweep the Triple Crown and established himself as Man o' War's best racing son. Veteran racing historian Edward L. Bowen, biographer of Man o' War, chronicles the exploits of War Admiral, including the colt's historic battle with the great Seabiscuit and War Admiral's success at stud.

Man o' War (Thoroughbred Legends)

Man o’ War has been acclaimed as the greatest racehorse of all time, and nearly three-quarters of a century after his death his legend continues to grow. In Man o’ War, veteran racing historian Edward L. Bowen recounts the life and times of “Big Red.” 
Bowen traces not only Man o’ War’s life but also those of the people connected to him—his breeder, August Belmont II; his trainer, Louis Feustel; and his famed owner, Samuel D. Riddle—weaving their stories into that of the great horse. 
Man o’ War became the greatest sports hero of his era, mentioned with the same reverence as Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, and Red Grange. Man o’ War’s legend began at age two when he won nine of ten starts. Due to his great popularity, his only loss was surrounded by rumor and intrigue. Man o’ War never knew defeat again. He dominated his rivals at every turn, even winning one race by a recorded 100 lengths. 
Retired to stud in Kentucky, Man o’ War welcomed tens of thousands of fans to Faraway Farms where faithful groom Will Harbut would regale visitors with tales of Man o’ War’s exploits. The sons and daughters of Man o’ War—including Triple Crown winner War Admiral—and their descendants carry on his legend in the Thoroughbred breed today. 
This edition includes a new afterword by the author.

History

Americas

Dominating victories, great duels, and astounding rallies make up some of horse racing's greatest moments. Award-winning racing writer Edward L. Bowen captures these and more in At the Wire, a compilation nearly thirty races plus Breeders' Cup highlights that have earned a solid place in America's Turf history. Bowen describes the enormity of the triple dead heat in the 1944 Carter Handicap. He tells the unforgettable tale of the 1973 Belmont Stakes, in which national hero Secretariat ended a twenty-five-year drought of Triple Crown winners with a spectacular thirty-one-length victory. The author pays homage to the running battle between Affirmed and Alydar and its Triple Crown conclusion at the Belmont Stakes in 1978. For the updated edition, the author has included chapters on the 1995 Breeders' Cup Classic, in which Cigar capped a perfect 10-0 season, earning Horse of the Year honors; the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic, in which the mare Zenyatta won a spectacular race to remain unbeaten in her career; and the 2015 Belmont Stakes, which highlights the greatness of American Pharoah as he became the first Triple Crown in 37 years. Bowen writes of outstanding horses at their best in fierce competition and of their time and place in American racing history.
