Yeah -- the Travers prep for Whirlaway in the Saranac was a tougher race.

He gave War Relic 13lbs (130 VS 117lbs) and just got up to beat him by a nose going a mile.

According to the National Sporting Library's Thoroughbred Heritage website, War Relic was the most successful sire of any of Man o' War's sons. It was said that he had a nasty temper, though, that you should never turn your back on him, and that he had even killed a groom.

War Relic's remains along with those of War Admiral and Man o' War were eventually moved to a place of honor at the Kentucky Horse Park.
