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
