Secretariat and Man o' War

by

 

These two horses are unlike.....yet alike in many ways.

Their Birthdays is one way.
Man o' War-March 27 or 29th, I believe.
Secretariat-March 30th, i think.

Very similar birthdays.

Their color
Man o' War-a red chestnut sort
Secretariat-a red chestnut, about the same, maybe a bit darker or lighter.

Their courage-
I see little, if any differnce here, but many horses share their courage. Ruffian, who died a nose ahead of her greatest challenge, Foolish Pleasure. Go for Wand, who died a bit ahead of The Queen(whats her name, Bayoha or something like that?)

Their size, owners, and offspring are different, but they were very much alike. Man o' War is a bit ahead, though, I believe. Like someone(Will Harbut??? Walter Farley? I read it in Farley's book, I think)) said, to be another Man o' War, you have to be a GREAT racer, and a GREAT sire, then you will be another Man o' War. Not 'till then.
