Was Man O War Ever Beaten?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes, he lost once (20 wins out of 21 starts). As a 2 year old Man o' War experienced his only loss,  at the 1919 Sanford Memorial Stakes, he still was circling with his back to the starting line when the barrier was raised (in the early 1900's there were no starting gates). Even so, he still came close to winning, losing by a half-length as he charged across the finish line in second.
