NO His owner felt the distance of the Kentucky Derby was too long for 3 year-old horses. Man o War never ran in Kentucky. He raced mainly in New York State. He stood at stud in Kentucky. His famous son, War Admiral ran in the Kentucky Derby and won the Triple Crown. He was not as large as his sire. His nickname was the Mighty Atom. He got an X factor large heart from his dam. The X-factor large heart is only passed onto daughters by large heart sires. KDFever Judy of Valparaiso, Indiana

How did man 'o' war die?
Man o' War never won the Triple Crown. In fact, he never ran in the Kentucky Derby. He did win the last two jewels of the Triple Crown, the Preakness and the Belmont. Man o' War, even to this day, is considered the greatest racehorse who ever lived. The only reason, they say, that he didn't win the Triple Crown, is because his owner refused to enter him in the Kentucky Derby. Even today, people know the name Man o' War. He lived to be thirty years old, and died of a failing heart. He was buried whole in a casket lined with his racing colors. He was the first to ever be buried this way. As many as 2,000 people attended his funeral, lining up for one last look or a pat on the neck and racing fans all over the country mourned him. Today his grave is marked by the famous Man O'War statue by Haseltine at the Kentucky Horse Park. At his feet his sons are buried, including his greatest son, War Admiral.

The story goes, Man-O-War died of a broken heart when his groom died.
Why did Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr create the Kentucky Derby?
Clark Jr. started the Kentucky Derby on behalf of a group of businessmen in Louisville who wanted to bring the horse industry back to Kentucky. During the Civil War many of the horses in Kentucky were used for battle, and after the war they rarely made it back to their farms. To really bring the breeding and racing industry back to the state we needed something that would attract the best of the best. The Derby became a large social event so that it wouldn't be compared to the other races that existed at the time and weren't succeeding in attracting the horsemen. It worked and the Derby is currently the longest continuously running sporting event in the country.
When was Derby War Memorial created?
