This horse proved that anyone can win on any given day, also a victim of improper training and neglect early in his career

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.

The date was September 19, 1942. The United States was embroiled in the Second World War and in the world of thoroughbred horse racing; the race of the year was set to go down in America’s smallest state.

  • Regret · Ummm--Man O'War never raced as a four year old. His match race with Sir Barton was his last race. Mr. Riddle contacted Walter Vosburgh, New York's weight setter for handicap races asking for what impost he would give Man O'War -- Mr. Vos burgh 's reply was that he would not start Man O'War in his first out at a pound less than 140. Mr. Riddle retired Man O'War immediately. · 208 days ago ·

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. · 235 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. · 235 days ago ·
