I believe it is incorrect to suggest that the upset of "Man O'War" by "Upset" is what created the use of the new phrase.

It might warrant mention in Lexington, KY, there is a Man O War Boulevard named after him.


Man O' War the horse was not named initially "My Man O' War." The name that August Belmont II and his wife Eleanor reserved with The Jockey Club in New York in 1917 was simply, "Man O' War." None of the Belmonts' letters or writings ever mention the name "My Man O' War" as his name at any point. // for additional reference see, "Man O' War, A legend Like Lightning," by Dorothy Ours (St. Martin's Press, c 2006) Chapter 2, Note 2
