CSS7 – Race of the Century
$125.00 – $11,370.00
Perhaps the greatest thoroughbred in the long history of horse racing was Man o’ War. In what came to be known as the Race of the Century because of the incredible prize of $75,000 and a $5,000 gold cup, a world-class race was held at Kenilworth Race Track in Windsor, Ontario. Kenilworth beat out the Kentucky Horse Park and the New York Race track in bidding for the race. Pari-mutuel betting is illegal in Michigan, Kenilworth in Canada provided the ideal venue.
The challenger was Sir Barton, owned by Commander J.K.L. Ross of Montreal. The colt was the first horse to win the triple crown, winning the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes in 1919.
It was no doubt the biggest sporting event in the history of the city and perhaps still deserves the title. When the gates of Kenilworth Park were opened at 9:00 a.m., more than 20,000 people were waiting to enter. When the race began an estimated 32,000 fans filled the stands.
