Seclusion for Man o War LEXINGTON, Ky., May 24. Man o War, Americas most famous thoroughbred, will not be allowed any visitors after June 15, his owner, Samuel D. Riddle, announced. Following the advice of veterinarian William McGee, who stated there was nothing organically wrong with the "wonder horse;" but he believed there was too much activity around the stall during visiting hours, the 30-year-old son of Fair Play will spend the summer in complete solitude. According to veterinarians, 30 years for a horse is equivalent to about 105 years for a human.
