OK I can see where this is going you can argue the old versus the new any day of the week but what is the point? I saw Easy Goer and Sunday Silence both very good horses I have seen High Light reels of Citation War Admiral I saw Ruffian race and I cried when my Dad came home and told me when she past away. If you want to talk 80's you have to talk John Henry! greates 4-8 year old racer next to Seabiscut ever and so my point is this this sport changes like anything else it evolves but that animal does not! That animal has been built the same way by mother nature for centuries and you can argue which horse is beter than the other and which horse from whatever ERA is the better or the stronger but the bottom line is this we where all drawn to this site because we know just by reading about him almost a century later that Man O War is the BIg Khahuna of Horse Racing! I place not even the mighty Secretariat above that beast! so there He trumps em all and he raced in the Teens and 20's!
