Bold Ruler was born in 1954. Seabiscuit died in 1947, so a match race between these two horses is impossible. But, in 1938 Seabiscuit and War Admiral faced off in what was called 'the match race of the century'. The Admiral stood almost 18HH, was the Triple Crown winner, received Horse of the Year, and was the odds on favorite in this particular race. Seabiscuit, on the other hand, stood around 15HH, was the older horse, had a bigger jockey, and had conformation imperfections. He also drew the outside lane. All of that mattered not to the Biscuit. He had the time of his life humiliating War Admiral. The joke around the Howard's barn:The Biscuit made War Admiral a 'rear admiral'. The 'little horse that could' won by four lengths.
