Man o' War by Dorothy Ours Book Summary

Dorothy Ours's Man o' War: A Legend Like Lightning tells the fascinating true story of one of the greatest racehorses who ever lived.

His trainer said that managing him was like holding a tiger by the tail. His owner compared him to "chain lightning." His jockeys found their lives transformed by him, in triumphant and distressing ways. All of them became caught in a battle for honesty.

Born in 1917, Man o' War grew from a rebellious youngster into perhaps the greatest racehorse of all time. He set such astonishing speed records that The New York Times called him a "Speed Miracle." Often he won with so much energy in reserve that experts wondered how much faster he could have gone. Over the years, this and other mysteries would envelop the great Man o' War.

The truth remained problematic. Even as Man o' War--known as "Big Red"--came to power, attracting record crowds and rave publicity, the colorful sport of Thoroughbred racing struggled for integrity. His lone defeat, suffered a few weeks before gamblers fixed the 1919 World Series, spawned lasting rumors that he, too, had been the victim of a fix.

Tackling old beliefs with newly uncovered evidence, Man o' War: A Legend Like Lightning shows how human pressures collided with a natural phenomenon and brings new life to an American icon. The genuine courage of Man o' War, tribulations of his archrival, Sir Barton (America's first Triple Crown winner), and temptations of their Hall of Fame jockeys and trainers reveal a long-hidden tale of grace, disgrace, and elusive redemption.

BEST BOOK EVER!. I wanted this book for Christmas and then I wanted Secretariat also. But I couldn’t get it yet!!But I’m still on pg.90 and it’s already talking about man o’ war, it’s such a good book because I get to learn about things I never would have knew before of man o’ war! I was so happy when I got it because, I wanted to read about the races. And then I’d give it to my grandma. But it’s really expensive but I got it used.( Don’t get it used, when I got mine the cover Spine was ripped but it’s a GREAT book)!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This book is outstanding and incredible. It's very detailed and informative and I couldn't put it down. Man O' War deserves no less.
