Man o' War
Man o' War (March 29, 1917 – November 1, 1947) was an American Thoroughbred who is widely considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time.
Several sports publications, including "The Blood-HorseSports Illustrated", ESPN, and the (AP)
Associated Press, voted Man o' War as the outstanding horse of the 20th century.
During his racing career just after World War I, Man o' War won 20 of 21 races and $249,465  in purses.
He was the unofficial 1920 American horse of the year and was honored with Babe Ruth as the outstanding athlete of the year by "The New York Times".
He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1957.
On March 29, 2017, the museum opened a special exhibit in his honor, "Man o' War at 100".
In 1919,
Man o' War won 9 of 10 starts including the Hopeful Stakes and Belmont Futurity, then the most important races for two-year-old horses in the United States.
His only loss came at Saratoga Race Course, later nicknamed the Graveyard of Champions, where he lost by a neck to a colt fittingly named Upset.
Man o' War was not entered in the 1920 Kentucky Derby because his owner, Samuel Riddle, did not believe in racing at the distance of 10 furlongs so early in a young horse's career.
Instead, Man o' War made his three-year-old debut in the Preakness Stakes where he defeated Upset by lengths.
Man o' War later won the Belmont Stakes by 20 lengths while setting a world record.
Throughout the summer and fall, he continued to dominate his fellow three-year-olds, setting multiple records while conceding large amounts of weight to his rivals.
The only time he faced older horses was in the final race of his career in a match race against Sir Barton, who had won what would later be known as the American Triple Crown in 1919.
Man o' War won easily by seven lengths in the first horserace to be filmed in its entirety.
Riddle originally intended to race Man o' War in 1921 but decided against it because Man o' War would have been assigned record weights in the handicap format used in almost all races for older horses.
Instead, Man o' War was retired to stud, where he became a leading sire whose multiple champions included Triple Crown winner War Admiral.
He was the grandsire of Seabiscuit and his sire line continues today through horses such as In Reality, Tiznow, Da' Tara and Tourist.
Also successful as a broodmare sire, Man o' War is found in almost all modern American pedigrees.
Man o' War Stakes
The Man o' War Stakes is a Thoroughbred horse race at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.
Now raced in mid-May, it is a Grade I event offering a purse of$ 700,000 and is open to horses four- years- old and up.
At one and three- eighths miles on the grass, the race sometimes attracts top European horses such as Fantastic Light and Daylami.
The top finishers in the Man o' War Stakes often go on to run in the Breeders' Cup Turf.
The inaugural running of the Man o' War took place in 1959 at Aqueduct Racetrack where it was also held in 1961, as well as from 1963 to 1967, and again in 1987.
Run as the Man o' War Handicap in 1959 and 1961, it is named for Man o' War, selected as No. 1 in the Blood- Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century.
The race was won in 1973 by Secretariat.
In 2008 the Man o' War was moved from Belmont's fall schedule into its summer schedule, replacing the Bowling Green Handicap in an attempt to more fairly represent turf competition.
The Man o' War Stakes has been raced at various distances:
The Games (film)
The Games is a 1970 British sports drama film directed by Michael Winner.

Upset (horse)
Upset was notable as the only horse to have ever defeated Man o' War.
Man o' War, who won 20 of his 21 starts, faced Upset in the seventh running of the Sanford Memorial Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on August 13, 1919.
Losing by a neck, Man o' War had been fractious at the starting line and got a bad start, leaving close to last.
He also carried 15 pounds more than Upset.
The loss snapped a six- race winning streak by Man o' War.
Upset was owned by Harry Payne Whitney.
The two horses met six more times, including in the 1920 Preakness Stakes, with Man o' War victorious every time.
While it is widely believed that the term" upset", referring to a surprising loss, originated with this horse, that is not the case.
The use of the word in horse racing dates to at least 1877, and the meaning" to overturn" or" overthrow" appears to be even older.

Getting Her Man is a 1924 silent film comedy starring Ora Carew.
The independent Renown Pictures released the film.
A print is preserved at the Library of Congress.
