Man o' War only lost one race. It was in August of 1919.

The name of the horse?

"Upset". It is said to be how the word got it's meaning in the modern sports era.

Don’t believe that nonsense. It was logical usage before then. And it was only MOW’s 6th race, as a 2yo. He would not be absolutely solidified as legend until 3.
