November 1, 1947
On the nine year anniversary of Seabiscuit and War Admiral's famous match race, and nearly a month after the death of Will Harbut Man o' War's beloved friend and groom the big red hoss lay down for the very last time.
It is said he died of a broken heart.

Thousands of people came to pay their respects to the champion at his funeral. Big Red was laid out in his coffin before being buried at Faraway Farm with his blanket. Man o' War's memorial service was broadcasted on national radio where millions of people listened intently.

Today Man o' War the Horse of the Century is remembered through his hundreds if not thousands of descendants. His grave is now located at The Kentucky Horse Park with a life-size statue standing over it.

Rest in Peace to De mostest hoss.

Man o' War did not beat, he merely annihilated. He did not run to world records, he galloped to them. He was so far superior to his contemporaries that, except for one race against John P. Grier, they could not extend him. In 1920 he dominated racing as perhaps no athlete-- not Tilden or Jones or Dempsey or Louis or Nurmi or Thorpe or any human athlete--had dominated his sport.
- Joe Palmer, American Race Horses

“Man o’ War was the mightiest Thoroughbred the American turf has ever known. His career came to a roaring stop in 1920, after he had won 20 races in 21 starts.
He had speed, stamina, courage and heart, and he broke most of the existing re­cords of his day. I was his trainer, and I can truthfully say there has never been another horse like him. He was the kind of horse from which dreams are made... ”
- Louis Feustel

Seabiscuit and his best friend and stable mate, the legendary Pumpkin! I haven't found very many pictures of the two of them together thus this being a rarity.

21 Apr 1938, San Mateo, California, USA --- Original caption: Bay Meadows, California: Seabiscuit And His Pal Talk Over Their Travels. Seabiscuit (Left) and his pal, Pumpkin, talk the matter over as they inspect their quarters on the special car here on which they are traveling East for Seabiscuit's match race with that other great descendant of Man O' War, War Admiral. Pumpkin has been Seabiscuit's particular pal since the great handicap horse was brought to California by Charles Howard. He is a Palamino (A California breed) and leads the Howard string in exercising. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
