  Battleship, by the "mostest horse," Man O'War?

No.  I should have added he was bred in Europe.

Name the horse who, while the bluest of blood flowed through his veins, became an immortal of the turf, by hurdling his way into history.  Winning 23 of 29 hurdles, the Racing Post said, "He exchanged greatness for immortality."

He finished near the back, maybe last?

Hip Four Sixtynine.  It just sounds like someone ready to do a sex act.  I understand that horse was actually Hip# 469 in an auction but the Jockey Club dropped the ball on this one.

ROFL! You have a dirty mind, Flanders, dirtier than mine, even. That horse just won over the weekend and the double entendre never entered my mind until your post.   

  I know, I'm sorry.  The stakes win actually reminded me to post this.  I had saw his name before but forgot to post then.

Fabulous video.  They talk about Frankel.  Meet Dansili, Oasis Dream and BFFs Kind and Midday.

Jerry Bailey?

The last I remember reading about him was early in 2013.

Went The Day Well To undergo tie-back surgery

From the articles I read about tie back surgery, it is not uncommon for it to fail.  If it failed, he is probably retired.

One more trivia question for the road ....

Can you name the only two horses in United States history to be buried with full military honors?

Reckless and Black Jack?

Media Puzzle.  I actually just added "The Cup" to my Netflix queue recently.  I just didn't get a chance to watch it yet.
