War Admiral (
1934-
1959), was a
thoroughbred racing
horse, the son of the great
Man O' War[?]. War Admiral won 21 of his 26 starts, including the coveted
Triple Crown in
1937. He raced in the Eastern
United States and is linked forever to
Seabiscuit, who was a pre-eminent horse based primarily in the Western U.S. Their famous match race in
1938 is considered by some to be the best in thoroughbred
horse-racing in
American history.
