Seabiscuit: America’s Legendary Racehorse (FULL MOVIE)”

Jul 25th Seabiscuit: America’s Legendary Racehorse (FULL MOVIE)”

When America needed him most, Seabiscuit became the working man’s hero and the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorse in history! Seabiscuit’s story played out against America’s Great Depression, when one in four breadwinners was without work. Spectator sports, radio programming and movie theaters offered an escape and created instant celebrity… even for horses. Seabiscuit made us believe in ourselves, in courage, in perseverance, and in America. Watch his journey!

This program includes the complete archival Seabiscuit and War Admiral “Match Race,” which is considered to be the greatest horse race in history. Featuring real footage of jockey Red Pollard’s thrilling victory at the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap.

I have the book “Seabiscuit.” By Laura Hillenbrand. Very interesting how the owner, trainer and jockey came together. After Red Pollard shattered his leg and was in hospital, he told George Woolf how to ride Seabiscuit in the match race with War Admiral. Woolf split the purse with Pollard.

I love seabiscuit and all his connections and for him to beat a triple crown winner just proves how good he was, the magic was overcoming an injury and winning a top handicap under top weight. What a horse!!

Seabiscuit has always been an inspiration to those in life that know his story. He knew what he was doing all along. He found a small group of people who needed fixing and needed love and returned the favor. I thank God for animals.
