History

The Man o' War Stakes has been held every year since 1959 and is named to honor the Thoroughbred many consider to be the best racehorse in the history of U.S. racing. Man o' War won 20 of his 21 career starts. Man o' War set three world records, two American records, two track records, and equaled another track standard. He won one race by an incredible 100 lengths and triumphed in another while carrying 138 pounds.
