    6:47 - At the time this footage was filmed, 32 years would pass before Secretariat was born, 2 more than the entire length of Man O' War's life. Citation would not be born at Calumet Farm for 7 more years, 2 before Man O' War passed away; Assault, for 5; Count Fleet, 2. Whirlaway was foaled the year that this video looked back on the old legend, and at the time War Admiral, Man O' War's greatest son, was still saddling up for races.
    It is hard to convey just how remarkable this footage is, looking back at a time when there were two larger-than-life American thoroughbred legends, separate from all the others: Man O' War, and Gallant Fox ... and that was it.

    Man o War was a magnificent and beautiful horse. How amazing to see him on film like this. He was a big horse although he looked bigger than 16.2 in this rare footage. What a thrilling 3 Man O War, War Admiral and Seasbiscuit were, Man O War father (sire) of War Admiral, Grandfather of Seabiscuit and War and Sea were Uncle and Nephew. That bloodline was special.

    Thank you for presenting MGM's Traveltalks featurette series from 1938 with a shot of the legendary Man O'War. Beautiful in appearance, and, arguably, the greatest competitive Thoroughbred of all-time. Others will argue that Seabiscuit and Secretariat deserve the title of "greatest thoroughbred," but here's the legend from the early 20th century as those who were around many years ago remember him. I want to see if there is any newsreel footage on YT featuring Man O' War. I'm sure I'll encounter it.

      @@debyzimmerman6617 Well, Man o' War did have a longer stride, but Secretariat was still faster and had more endurance. The fastest woman in the world today is only 5'1" and has a shorter stride, but moves her legs more often (fast twitch muscles). Secretariat's heart being physically 2-3 times larger than any standard thoroughbred horse is a fact that could not be overcome. He ran the Belmont in 90 degree plus temperatures, in a record that still holds almost 50 years later and only sweated where his girth touched him. The horse that was chasing him actually broke down in that effort. Sham had to have a hairline fracture surgically repaired after the race. (Sham and Secretariat are first cousins, there mothers were sisters. Sham also had the larger than normal heart, but not the thick canon bones of Secretariat.) Secretariat was also never pushed. He actually strutted after the marathon win. Plus, he could go faster and faster at each quarter mile, other horses slow down as the continue through a race. The first time he was hit with a whip in a race, his first place was taken away because he veered off into another horse to get away from the whip. They learned to just let him run. He was in charge of his races. Eddie Arcaro, who is the only 2 time Triple Crown jokey on Whirlaway and Citation, was asked who would win a race between Citation and Secretariat. He stated that everyone is going to say their horse, but looking at the 1973 Belmont, no horse can do what Secretariat did. Horse simply cannot do that.
      Man o' War was something special, but Secretariat was Somethingroyal.

    Man of war was originally owned by the grandmother of Dr Mike Castle. A native American.
    He is survived by his daughter. He was a friend of mine that among other things, discovered
    the welsbach seeding of the geoengineering.
    More weight was assigned to Man of War, than any other horse in the history of racing.
    The only race he ever lost, was against the one named upset. Although he never took the
    triple crown, it can equally said he never lost it either !
    Had he been given the best horses to sire offspring, that bloodline would have reset an
    entire new level of racing performance for the world to try and beat. Instead, greed of the
    leaders in the industry never accepted what would ruin betting.After all, the goal was for
    OTHER horses to try to catch up to Man of War. The greatest on earth. He was however,
    caused to be placed with a poor lot of horses that had never distinguished themselves in
    any way.
    None the less, the record of his offspring is known, and many great winners came
    out of Man of War. His trainer and the horse, died within a week of each other. It was clear
    the trainer and the horse loved each other. The statement was... Awe says trulay, dis hera...,
    is da mostest hose ... dat eva was.

      His times are still official, regardless of what you think was poor company for him to run against. A lady did some research that showed that his and Secretariat's stride length was the same, that their times over identical distances were only fractions of a second apart, and Secretariat never had to carry 130 pounds! In addition, MOW did not have the manicured tracks of today, starting gates, or digital timers. Think about that.

      Yep he was a liver chestnut and as Just Think pointed out (fitting name) the horse was affectionately nicknamed Big Red

      Man O War was a gorgeous red chestnut, copper colored like Secretariat.

      @@melissa007ish most of us who work, work for someone else. Why do you think that working as a waiter is shameful? If this person was shown as a waiter in a restaurant, would you be whining about racism? Why is working as a waiter for a garden party a racist situation, in your view? The man shown was earning an honest wage, and was obviously doing excellent work. Why do you have a problem with this? Do you have more respect for people who join urban gangs? Maybe you think that every one who is not "White" should acquire money by shoplifting from Wal marts, and selling stolen property. I have contempt for this type of person, and enormous respect for a guy making his own way as a waiter.

      It was just the vocabulary of the day. This video wasn't racist at all. It's better than what black people refer to themselves as today. They throw the N word around like it's nothing and glorify gun violence and drug use/dealing in their music. Today millions of blacks hold up a serial killer as their hero(king von). Could you imagine if white people looked up to Ted Bundy as a hero and tried to emulate his behavior. That's what is going on in the black community. This innocent video was taken at a time when even black people referred to themselves as colored. Do you think the NAACP is racist? You can't call this video racist without calling the NAACP racist as well. Racism towards blacks was really bad in this country in the past and it still exists and always will on an individual level for some people.. Now the tables have turned and it's white people that are facing more racism than black people. Affirmative action was the beginning of anti white racism for the masses and it's gotten worse with critical race theory being taught in many liberal parts of the country. Racism is an awful thing but don't make this innocent film out to be a part of it.
