In questa gara, Man o' War staccò e vinse di ben venti lunghezze, battendo anche di 3 secondi il record che fino ad allora era detenuto da Sir Barton, un altro campione di razza. ###>That May, Man o' War was not entered in the Kentucky Derby because his owner did not like racing in Kentucky and believed it was too early in the year for a young horse to go a mile and a quarter.
