Man of War was called the Horse of the Century. He was beaten only in one race. In that race to bet on Man of War one had to bet $15 to win $16. What was the name of the horse that beat him?

I agree. All the arm waving may look dramatic but 80% of the time the jockeys are just flashing the whip past the horses eyes.

Having watched many horse races, I know that 99% of the time that the jockeys are actually using the whip on the horse, it's not hard toi tell the truth, please try it.
