best race horse of all time?

I've always thought of Man O' War. Not only was he beaten only once out of 21 races, and that by a fluke since the race started when he wasn't even facing the starting line at the time, he produced some very sucessful offspring. In "Wikipedia" it says that Man O'War produced more than 64 stakes winners and 200 various champions. The two most famous were Battleship [1938 English Grand National Steeplechase] and War Admiral [1937 Triple Crown Winner]. One of his offspring, Hard Tack, sired Seabiscuit.

I dont know why, but I liked Silver Charm, he won the first two legs of the triple crown in the mid 90's.

Ever heard of Horse Chestnut? Seabiscuit would be my second choice!

Seabiscuit was great. But, I also like Secretariat. And, his progeny also seem to do well in races. None of Seabiscuit's foals were good racehorses. He was one of a kind.

I would have to totally agree with Raydene...Phar Lap is the best of all time..He is my hero, I love him..His great great grandfather - Carbine was the best of his time too late 1800's...

I think like you that he is better, seabiscuit

I'm serious... Read the book & live a legend.. look him up on the net... U have no idea until u know!!!

I always liked Man O War. I had a huge picture of him hanging in my childhood home for years and it always represented greatness to me. I also liked Native Dancer. I don't know that stats on either one of them but they are my personal favorites.

I cant just pick one, there are so many honorable racehorses out there-- Barbaro (R.I.P) Sonador,seabiscuit, smarty jones, man o' war, ruffian, secretariat and many many more
