Yup. Man O' War is my favorite horse to read about. Books keep coming out about him. The latest I THINK comes out in June. Apparently Luis Fuestel (spelling?) had some notes that he had written about the horse's workouts and was just found or something like that, and after doing the math, it was found out that there were a few times that Man O' War actually ran almost or around 45 mph in some sprints.

As long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed reading. When I was a kid, I loved reading books about famous racehorses. I had one about Man O'War that I treasured. In addition to photos, it had a lengthy discussion of his pedigree going all the way back to the 18th century. To this day, without any effort, I can tell you that he was by Fair Play out of Mahubah by Rock Sand, and that one of his ancestors was a horse with the odd name of Pot-8-O's. :)
