Upset (foaled 1917 in New Jersey) is notable as the only horse to have ever defeated Man o' War. Man o' War, who would go on to a career in which he won 20 of his 21 starts, faced Upset in the seventh running of the Sanford Memorial Stakes[1] at Saratoga Race Course on August 13, 1919. Losing by a neck, Man o' War had been fractious at the starting line and got a bad start, leaving close to last. He also carried 15 pounds more than Upset.[2] Upset finished second in the 1920 Kentucky Derby, a head behind Paul Jones,[3][4] and also was second in the 1920 Preakness Stakes behind Man o' War.[5]
