| Man O' War, Sculpture by Herbert Haseltine |
While Man O' War never won the Kentucky Derby he is still considered to be by many the greatest racehorse of all time. His offspring include the 1929 Kentucky Derby winner Clyde Van Deusen and the1939 Triple Crown winner War Admiral. He was also the grand-daddy of legendary horse Seabiscut.

I was such a horse freak when I was a kid in the 50s and 60s. I read every horse book in the library and Man O' War was one of my favorites. When I was in my 20s my dream came true and I had my own horse(s).
Loved seeing the memorial for this wonderful horse hero, thanks for posting!
You're welcome, Lisa! The Kentucky Horse Park is a wonderful place to visit.
