Man o’ War is a true American icon, born in Kentucky before going on to capture the country’s imagination by winning 20 of 21 races,” said Laura Prewitt, executive director at the Kentucky Horse Park. “Our goal is to celebrate his life and equally encourage visitors to experience all that the Kentucky Horse Park has to offer.”
