Seabiscuit [May 23, 1933 - May 17, 1947] never won any Kentucky Derby. He was named 'Horse of the Year' in 1938. But that was for his performance in races other than the Derby. It also was for his victory of November 1, 1938 over War Admiral [1934 - 1959], the Triple Crown winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont and Preakness Stakes in the previous year.
