She includes information about his pedigree, owner, jockey, and trainer, and the history of the various races he won, looking at how he eventually became unbeatable because few owners were willing to pit their horses against such a legendary champion. Ours's debut book, Man o' War: A Legend Like Lightning, addresses all the details of this remarkable horse and the people involved in his life. She began to research the horse's history and career in her spare time and eventually, while working at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York, gained access to many original sources. She would watch the thoroughbred races on television, and became particularly interested in Man o' War after watching Secretariat.
