(this is a little too big for my scanner, but this is about 90% of it)

Fair Play was a talented racehorse in his own right--and then he sired the most famous racehorse of all: Man o' War.

Hastings' agressiveness and Fair Play's dominance was translated into pure, brilliant speed and competitiveness in Man o' War.
