War Admiral was a champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who is the fourth winner of the American Triple Crown. He was also the 1937 Horse of the Year and well known as the rival of Seabiscuit in the ‘Match Race of the Century’ in 1938. War Admiral won 21 of his 26 starts with earnings of $273,240 and was the leading sire in North America for 1945. He was also an outstanding broodmare sire whose influence is still felt today in descendants such as Triple Crown winners American Pharoah and Justify.
Presented is an original press 8×10 black and white photo featuring War Admiral. This photo was taken at Saratoga with the jockey Charles Kurtsinger. The notes were written in grease pencil on the verso. The caption has been removed as there are tape remnants and tears (taped over on back) present. The photo shows heavy wear and is creased throughout with a torn bottom corner. There is also additional writing with edit marks on the front.
