Perhaps Mucho Macho Man had something to prove from the day he was foaled on June 15, 2008. Perhaps some horses, the rare champions, are born with a spirit that goes beyond explanation.
A late foal, Mucho Macho Man was one of the youngest horses ever to race in all three jewels of the Triple Crown, not turning three until after the Belmont Stakes. While these jewels eluded him, one could sense his heart was bigger than his body and one day he would fill his brown frame with strength, stamina, and the will to prove to himself, and to all those who love him, that he has the heart of a champion.
