Official American Champions 1935-2007
Descended from Man o' War

           Here is the list of Official American Champions since 1935.  Those champions from 1936-1978 were decided in separate elections held by two different associations.  Since this method often chose multiple champions for individual categories, it was replaced in 1979.  The Eclipse Awards, which are selected by an amalgam of the groups, has supplanted the older system.
          You will need to scroll sideways.  Although the table could have been shrunk to fit the space, it was decided to keep the document full-sized (and wide) to keep it readable. 
          Horses in orange are descendents of Man o' War. If you'd like to check on any horse's pedigree, click here: www.PedigreeQuery.com.  Use your browser's BACK button to return to this page.
           Along with the list of Consensus Champions, there are two more lists available by clicking the appropriate buttons.  One is a list of the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame inductees with Man o' War blood, and the other is the Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century, as decided by 'The Blood-Horse' .  Again, all horses marked in orange are descendents of Man o' War.
