What people don't realize, is how microscopic foal crops were back at that time. For example, the largest foal crop ever (1986) was 35 times larger than the foal crop Man O' War came from.
In my opinion, the members of that esteemed group who voted Man O' War the #1 horse of the 1900's, ought to be mocked for it.

Mocking someone for their opinion is not the staple of an intelligent mind...I will make light of some opinions as do we all when they go beyond any sense of reality...ie: Zippy Chippy as the best horse of the 20th century, but MOW certainly has a claim to best horse...the fact that his connections repeatedly ducked Exterminator does give me pause but certainly intelligent folks can disagree. I say Secretariat and Kincsem were the best ever but if someone said it was Ribot, Colin, MOW, Native Dancer or a dozen others, I would debate but hardly mock them!
