One of the most accomplished thoroughbred racehorses of all-time, Man o' War won 20 of 21 races right after the end of World War I. Here's his colorful admission badge from the Saratoga Race Course in August of 1919. Complete with original strings attached, the blue-green front of the 2.75x3" pass features the red Saratoga Association logo and the stallion's number: 11 11599. The back is white with sky-blue #11, $3.00 price and "War Tax Paid" note below the disclaimer. A spectacular keepsake from the Hall of Fame horse that was ranked No. 1 by the Associated Press as the greatest horse of the 20th century.
