American Thoroughbred racing has had it's share of superstars, but very few reach the pinnicale that Seabiscuit did. But Seabiscuit's story cannot be separated from the three men that made it happen.

Most of us that were born in the second half of the 20th century have little concept of the Great Depression. In that atmosphere, when Americans were feeling helpless and hopeless, along came a small horse named Seabiscuit and three men, all four having been touched by tragedy. They were underdogs to say the least. America needed someone to cheer for and with Seabiscuit they got it in spades. If a beat-up race horse could endure maybe America could also. His story is amazing and certainly inspiring. At the height of his popularity, he got more publicity than the president.

He is a a horse in the movie Seabiscuit. Much more important, Seabiscuit was a real US champion thoroughbred race horse. He lived from 1933 to 1947. The movie is based on the story of the real horse.
