The Horse of the Century!, 18 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man o' War (Thoroughbred legends) (Hardcover)
In this first biography of Man o' War in 50 years, Ed Bowen tells the story of "Big Red" like never before. I learned all kinds of stuff that I, even here in horse country, never knew about this great horse. This book is the first in a new series of racehorse biographies that looks pretty exciting - There's a Web site that goes with the series that has cool archival footage of Man o' War in action!

Great Bio of "The Mostest Hoss", 26 Aug 2000
By Susan Nunes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man o' War (Thoroughbred legends) (Hardcover)
This book is the first in a series of biographies of famous racehorses published by BLOOD HORSE magazine. This first volume, on Man O' War, is excellent. Bowen discusses not only Man O' War's life and career, he also discusses Big Red's pedigree and the backgrounds of his connections such as owner Sam Riddle, breeder August Belmont II, and trainer Louis Feustel.This book, like the others in the series, is small in size but big in content. I was so impressed with this book that I plan to buy all the rest of the books in the series. If you're a racing fan, you will also want this book.

Legend of Racing, 13 May 2001
By Deborah F. Brown "DeB" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man o' War (Thoroughbred legends) (Hardcover)
While I am only a novice racing fan, I find that this horse, Man O War is the measure by which all others are compared. The facts and details were at times over my head due to my lack of over all knowledge about the owner/breeder racing system. I found the book interesting and was inspired to even visit the grave of this king of horses when in Ky this year.
