Shame they don't breed for that confirmation today.  He was a powerhouse and the ideal confirmation of a true TB, not like these thin spindle legs running these days.

Happy Birthday Big Guy!! And a Happy Birthday to you as well!

His build, his stride - just spectacular.  The perfect fiery strong willed and strong limbed Thoroughbred born to run.

New article...and first photo one I had never seen before.

“As near to a living flame as horses get, and horses get closer to this than anything else. It was not merely that he smashed his opposition, sometimes by a hundred lengths, or that he set world records or that he cared not a Tinker’s Curse for weight, or track, or horses.

Man o’ War, loose in his paddock at Faraway, dug in as if the prince of all the fallen angels was at his throatlatch, and great chunks of sod sailed up behind the haunches of power. Watching, you felt that there had never been, nor could ever be again, a horse like this.”

He was a magnificant horse wasn't he? Totally proportioned in his body, all heart in his races, just stunning!

Magnificent says it perfectly.
