Who Was Seabiscuit?
Who Was Seabiscuit? tells the story of one of horseracing’s most revered underdogs.
In the middle of the worst depression in U.S. history, one young racehorse lifted a nation’s spirits. Seabiscuit was born in 1933 on a farm in Kentucky. Though bred for racing, he was weak and undersized. He slept too long and ate too much.
Against the odds, he began to win local races. A new coach arrived to train him to race in larger circuits. Soon enough, this scrappy horse began beating the best racehorses in the country.
He became a media darling and won national competitions. In 1938 he was voted U.S. Horse of the Year. Seabiscuit’s undying spirit and come-from-behind story made him a celebrity and hero for millions.
