The Best Race Horses of All Time
10. War Admiral
War Admiral (1934-1959) was an American thoroughbred racehorse legend, the offspring of the great thoroughbred Man o’ War and the mare Brushup. He inherited his father’s fiery temperament and talent, but did not resemble him physically. He was smaller than Man o’ War at 15 hands, two inches tall (compared to 16 hands for an average racehorse), with a dark brown coat inherited from his dam. The movie Seabiscuit inaccurately portrays him at 18 hands.
