Even veteran professional turf writer's permit

hysterical Here's the New York Tribune, for In
stance, on Man o. Wars performance in the Dwyer
stakes at Aqueduct:
Man o. War. the handsome 3-year-od chestnut
colt of Samuel D. Riddle which earlier this sea-
had established himself the greatest thor
oughbred of the age, proved himself the horse OF

had done: he mile and furlong in :49 10"
Man O. War is great horse. Now, to discuss
a thing intelligently 1t must be defined. So. what
is great horse? Well. great horse. like gen
tleman is hard define. But it is automatic
that great horse must have certain qualities.
He must have speed. He must have courage. He
must be able to carry weight He must be able
to go distance. He must have the intelligence
to play the game. He must be consistent In per-
formance. He must be willing to do his best.
Other desirable qualities good disposition.
equable temperament, rugged constitution and
a sound body. And above all he must have that
fndefinable something called class-that something
which enables the stake horse to hook up with
the platter in the stretch, look him In the eye and
go on to win.
It would seem too mucn to expect of horsefiesh
that any one individual should have all these quail
ties Nevertheless Man o. War apparently has
them all. Anyway. here are some of the exact
facts about this sensation of the racing season
of 1920:
Man O. War is an aristocrat of aristocrats. Here,
in brief are his immediate family connections:
