Of the Many Horses Which Live On in the Hearts of Americans, One Horse is Most Remembered – Man o' War. Those who knew Man o' War were enriched by the experience. This was not just another racehorse. Man o' War was one of 1,680 Thoroughbreds foaled in 1917. He was born on March 29 at the Kentucky Nursery Stud owned by August Belmont II. Man o' War's sire was Fair Play, by Hastings, both of whom were mean and temperamental, but excellent weight carriers.

They were innocent animals pressganged into serving King and country in a terrible war started by man. Of the one million horses that were taken from farms, fields and stables in this country, only 62,000 survived when the Great War ended in 1918.
His champion progeny include 1937 Triple Crown winner War Admiral, British Grand National Winner Battleship, and Seabiscuit's sire Hard Tack. Man o' War is considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time. He is buried at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY, underneath an impressive bronze statue of his likeness.
Nearly 30 years later Man o’ War and his heroic-size statue (20 hands tall, 3,000 pounds of bronze) were transferred to the Kentucky Horse Park. Here at the end of the entrance drive, his grave and statue serve as a beacon and sentry to horse fans from all over the world.
Kummer then hit Man o' War with the whip and Man o' War made a final surge, opening up a lead of two lengths in the final fifty yards. The final time was 1:49 1/5, a new world record for 1 1 ⁄ 8 miles.
It was at that seminal moment, with all its power, emotion, spirit and tension, that Bogucki so elegantly captured in bronze. It is a tribute, years in the making, to horse, groom and rider that will forevermore welcome new and old fans alike upon their entrance to the Kentucky Horse Park.
