108 Running on Saturday, July 13, 2024
The only loss in the great Man o’ War’s career occurred in the 1919 Sanford, when he was defeated by a horse named Upset. Off to a bad start, Man o’ War made up all but half a length. In later years, Willie Knapp, the rider of the winner, said, “I’ve always been kind of sorry I beat him. He was too much of a horse for that.” The race is named for the Sanford family. In Saratoga's early days, the Sanford horses, many of whom were named after members of the Mohawk tribe, were often walked to the racetrack from the family's Hurricana Farm in Amsterdam. Prior to 1927 the race was run as the Sanford Memorial Stakes. *Value reflects the inclusion of a $100,000 bonus provided by NYRA to horses who broke their maiden at a NYRA track and went on to win a graded stakes race at Saratoga at two.
