I just want to know how fast Man O' War really could've gone if he ran on the same tracks we have today. He ran on loose, sloppy tracks, where most of our horses today run on hard packed tracks without a blemish on them. What if he had carried as little weight as all of the horses that race today carry. That would be almost 20 pounds lighter!!! He brought the sport of horse racing to the U.S. as a highly watched sport. I believe that he could still beat any horse racing today if he were still here and 100%. I would have loved to see him and Barbero race!!!! I have never seen a horse with as much heart as Barbero. Wouldn't that have been a race to see? No extra wieght on either of them, just 2 horses and an open race track! What if his jockey hadn't held him back while he was racing and had let him go all out all the way? How many records would still be standing today? How much more would he have won by? Man O' War is unmatchable? No One can beat him!!! He had so much heart, No horse is ever going to even compare to him!!!
