Impressive story of The Little Brown Colt who developed into a Champion!
Cigar, Seattle Slew, Affirmed, Zenyatta and 2015 Triple Crown champion American Pharoh are all descendants of the legendary racehorse.
War Admiral was given the nickname “The Mighty Atom” as he was small yet dominant on the racetrack.
War Admiral was the best offspring sired by “Big Red”, the legendary Man ‘O War. While Man ‘O War was a big dude at 16.2 hands, War Admiral was built more like his mother Brushup who only stood just under 15 hands
Though he was small in stature, he had excellent conformation. The stallion had a neat, compact build that was similar to his maternal grandsire, Sweep. He inherited his height from his dam, who was under 15 hands tall, unlike his sire that was 16.2 hands.
He sired 373 foals from which there were 251 winners and 40 stake winners.
