Holiday Ornament ~ Man O' War

Few horse names evoke so much admiration as does the name Man O' War.  His owner, Samuel Riddle, who was new to racing, took great care of his star colt, not allowing him to race in the Kentucky Derby because he believed it was too early in a horse's life for him to run that distance.  He handily won the Preakness and Belmont, though, and then beat the one-year-older Triple Crown Winner Sir Barton in a match race by 7 lengths, leading the whole way.  Breyer created this lovely portrait ornament for him in 2013.

He is still in his original box, and appears unopened.  He is from the collection of Linda Dean.
