@poss.jonah: War Admiral or Seabiscuit: who was better? War Admiral was a son of Man o' War, brown and much smaller than his big red father. In 1937 he won the Kentucky Derby, a race his father never ran. In the Belmont he stumbled at the start and cut his own hoof, then won by 3 lengths to become the 4th Triple Crown winner. He went 8 for 8 that year. On Nov. 1, 1938 he lost a match race to Seabiscuit, his father's grandson. He still finished with 21 wins in 26 starts. A close look at beauty, from Poss Jonah.
