War Admiral

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.
