Answer 3

Seabiscuit's maiden race was in Hialeah in Florida on January 19, 1935. This was and still is a common tactic for trainers. The weather in the 'Sunshine State' is more suited for horse training when up north is under several feet of snow.

*Footnote:Seabiscuit placed 4th.

Answer 4

Seabiscuit had 89 starts, 33 firsts, 15 seconds, and 13 thirds. Of the 89 starts, 35 were as a 2 year old. Running a 2 year old in that many races is borderline cruelty. The growth plates in a horse's knees are not mature at that age, so it is no wonder the horse was lame when Charles Howard bought him. In his racing career Seabiscuit set 13 track records.
