“We are here today, to pay tribute to a great soldier…”

79 years ago today, on November 1, 1947 was a sad day for the world of Thoroughbred racing. Man o’ War had been suffering with heart issues. Only his groom, “Bub” Graves and Faraway Farm Manager, Pat O’Neill were present for his passing.

The great Thoroughbred was given a funeral fit for a king. Here is a news clip from the State Times, Baton Rouge on November 3, 1947.

What is the mystique of this great hero of the early part of the 20th century? Why are we still in love with him? We will explore these types of questions in our documentary.

Thanks to follower Chuck Sturzenegger for posting an aerial shot of the Kenilworth Park area. This enables me to combine the two photos for a more interesting layout of the approximate location (not perfect) of the track to the present day neighborhood. Hope y’all find this interesting.

I found this older online aerial shot of the remnants of the Kenilworth Park Racetrack in Windsor, Ontario Canada, where Man o’ War and Sir Barton raced on October 12, 1920, a little more than 106 years ago this month.

A couple of buildings on the GlenRiddle Berlin, Maryland training facility before they were torn down. Guessing these were taken right before their destruction. These photos reside in the Calvin B. Taylor House Museum in Berlin. Photographs by Patrick Henry. If anyone is interested in his photos, he is located in Berlin and also is a fabulous painter. Reach out to him. Can locals identify these structures?

Here are two fantastic pieces of printed media from the past, hanging in the GlenRiddle Community Center. I pass it every day when I’m there to workout in their gym. It’s a great reminder of the Thoroughbred history in this wonderful community. Ocean City History and Old Pictures

What remains of “The Graw,” (Havre de Grace racetrack) in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Land now occupied by the National Guard. It was famously financed by August Belmont II and noted mob boss Arnold Rothstein before Belmont had the Maryland Legislature push Rothstein out.

These two had a contentious relationship - A.R. was a thorn in Belmont’s side, and for years made Belmont uneasy, worrying that Rothstein was a threat to the good name of the sport. Belmont once threatened to rule Rothstein off the turf, to which A.R. dared him. More on this coming in the documentary.

Man o’ War famously raced here and won the Potomac Handicap in 1920. In the center of the screen you can still see the end of the grandstand. It’s sad that this racetrack history is fading.
