What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Seabiscuit...

he's probably one of my favorite horses ever.
In either of the last two winners, Game On Dude or Ron the Greek, this year’s edition of the Big 'Cap should have a winner in which the fans can be proud. Read More

  • Mary Z. · That inquiry in the Santa Anita Handicap of 2011 was so controversial at the time. maybe it shouldn't have been, once the order of events was clear. Game On Dude was doing fantastically coming into that race with his allowance won over When We Met, though, as I think he is for this year's running. I like Ron The Greek very well, but I really think I'll stick with The Dude. Mike Smith should have him budget out his speed, and win at Dude's favorite track. About the Sunshine Millions, it was a two horse race for the past two years. This year, with Mucho Macho Man out of it early, Ron The Greek was an easy winner. Game On Dude didn't face much in his prep in the San Antonio either. Looking forward to the meeting of two top males, and the very good gelding Called To Serve. Dude, Ron The Greek, Called To Serve. · 87 days ago ·

(honorable mention to all of the races New York has gutted distance wise, such as the CCA Oaks, the Personal Ensign, the JCGC, the Mother Goose etc. etc. which are now mere echos of what they once were). · 127 days ago ·

  • LarryDickson · I also miss Marlboro Cup, Flamingo, Widener, Washington International. Michigan Mile and an eigth was the big event for the track. Meadowlands Cup became a dismisses race after Breeder's Cup started. I preferred the California Derby being run after the Santa Anita Derby when a horse could come up and surprise at Derby time, such as Casual Lies. I also remember when the Garden State Stakes was a big event for two year olds. Other races were run late at Aqueduct which allowed horses to stretch out over distances of ground. I particularly miss the races run at 12 to 18 furlongs. · 124 days ago ·

  • Emerald01 · There are several excellent documentaries about Seabiscuit that are available through different sources. Netflix is one of them. Sometimes you can catch one on public television. I highly recommend the book by Hillenbrand. It has amazing info about the horse, but also about racing life in general back then. The anecdotes are fascinating, and there is so much great information that was very painstakingly gathered. Whatever you do, don't watch the movie with Shirley Temple in it, though. Dreadful film! · 232 days ago ·

  • Buckpasser · Hillenbrands book on Seabiscuit is based on an article on Red Pollard and the Biscuit entitled "the one legged cougar and the three legged horse" by David Alexander which is in a book entitled The World of Racing from Eclipse to Kelso. Alexander was a racing columnist for many newspapers from the the early 30s on. I recommend this book highly as it contains a great deal of information about many different horses and owners. Alexander saw both MOW and Exterminator race and interviewed everyone from Riddle to Charles Howard ER Bradley and Allaire DuPont. Hillenbrand interviewed Alexander extensively for her book as he knew Red Pollard very well along with Howard and George Woolfe · 232 days ago ·

I have just complete the Past Performance history of Seabiscuit. With a lifetime record of 89-33-15-13 and 1938 Horse of the Year, he was truly one of the great legends of racing. If anyone has any other videos of his races, please post them accordingly.
seabiscuit never finished out of the money. he is buried in an unmarked grave underneath an oak tree off of u.s. 101 a little more than 100 miles no. of san francisco.

If I had to name the best race horses I would have Secretariat, then seabiscuit Man o war, citation, whirlaway, forego, dr.fager, and ruffian. Yep thats my list. hehe
i always hear secretariat, man o'war, citation. but, seabiscuit was a legend. he toyed with war admiral in their match race.
Unfortunately I see some race data is missing...Seabiscuit raced over 30 times as a two year old and did run out of the money. Only after he was purchased and transferred to his Cal;ifornia owners did he take off as a runner.

  • Protagonist · I agree with you Larry , in the book Seabiscuit it is pointed out that Seabiscuit was used as the rabbit in the mornings. Then that mind set so well ingrained into him he would just go out in the afternoon and do what the EAST Coast connections had trained him to do,LOSEIt wasn't until his WEST COAST connectionstook over at Tanforan,and GGF, that he started to win . Seabiscuits TRAINER was Tom Smith and his Owner was Mr. Howard. His jockey was Pollard. · 596 days ago ·

  • LAZMANNICK · Some info on Seabiscuit's two year old year. Seabiscuit actually started an unbelievable 35 times as a two year old. His first 5 races were against winners before he was actually entered in a maiden race and because of his antics and often lethargic behavior, by his second lifetime race he was entered in a 2.5K claimer garnering no interest from horsemen in claiming him in spite of the fact that he was by Hard tack, a son of Man o’ War, and out of the mare Swing On who was sired by Wisk Broom, a prominent handicap winner back in the day. The first 17 races of his career alternated between running in open allowance dashes, claimers, five MSW’s and a minor stakes race; all without a win to show for his efforts. It was his 18th race when he finally broke his maiden, on June 25, 1935 in an open $1000 allowance race. It took until his 32nd start before he finally won a minor stake, the Springfield Handicap for a purse of $2.8K. In all during his two year old year, which started on Jan. 19 at Hialeah in a 3F open allowance race, and ended with a 6th place finish on November 1st in the Walden Stakes at Pimlico, he had a record of 35-5-7-5 with two minor stakes wins. His schedule was so hectic that in April, June and October he raced fives times in each of those months. It is also interesting to note that in all those races, the only time he ran farther than 6F was in the final one, the 8.5F Walden Handicap at Pimlico. Although he raced on the east coast he moved around a lot and actually competed at 12 different tracks that year. · 596 days ago ·
