46 A CENTURY LATER Man o' War is turning 100. And Lexington is throwing him a party. By T.D. Thornton On my list of top five things in the world (following my two children, of course), I am fairly certain that France, the beach and racing would run 3-4-5. So you can only imagine how ex- citing it is to present Jocelyn Targett's whimsical tale about a winter respite at Cagnes-sur-Mer, a racetrack in France. On the beach. With wine (#6). Dive on in. We also give you a guide to the birthday celebration for Man o' War, who turns 100 this month; introduce you to McCracken, Kansas, popula- tion 190, which is about to become famous for its Kentucky Derby namesake and give 85-year-old Janis Whitham the thrill of a lifetime; show you what's new in Dubai (it's always something!) and let Australian trainer Chris Waller have the last word. Hint: we're all going to want that sleeping app of his… Sue Finley, Co-Publisher Created for by: M A R C H 2 0 1 7 \ \ I S S U E 0 1 2 Publisher: Thoroughbred Daily News 60 Broad Street, Suite 100 Red Bank, NJ 07701 Photographers: Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa Dubai Parks and Resorts • Bronwen Healy • Travis Heying Horsephotos • Mathea Kelly • IMG Theme Parks • Nikki Hotel International Museum of the Horse, Ky.

But what's her trainer like? He has this month's Last Word. 06 JANIS WHITHAM AND MCCRA(C)KEN The #1-ranked horse on many people's Derby list is named for a small town in Kansas whose spirits could use the boost that a Triple Crown victory would bring them.
