WAR ADMIRAL
As the son of another legendary horse (Man O' War), War Admiral had the bar set high from the get go. Born in 1934 in Lexington, Kentucky, War Admiral's coat was such a dark color of brown that many believed he was actually black. Though initially he did not respond well to the starting gate, War Admiral rose to the challenge, earning the nickname and nabbing both the Triple Crown along with the Horse of the Year honors in 1937. On November 1, 1938, Triple Crown winner and reigning Horse of the Year War Admiral, the great, regal-looking son of Man o' War, met the rags-to-riches people's horse, Seabiscuit, who would go on to be the Horse of the Year and the world's leading money winning Thoroughbred. The match race was the story of the recent Hollywood movie, "Seabiscuit". In 1958, he was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, and also ranks in the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century.
