Sobre este producto

SEABISCUIT is the remarkable tale of a thoroughbred racehorse and down-an-out jockey who together became two of the most celebrated sports figures of the twentieth century. The story of Seabiscuit's unlikely rise is extraordinary from his humble beginnings as an underfed, overworked three-year old, to his triumphant march-race victory over the triple-crown winner, War Admiral, to his astonishing cornerback in the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap. Equally remarkable is the team who made SEABISCUIT a legend his owner, automobile magnate Charles Howard, the famously silent and stubborn trainer Tom Smith, and lightning-fast rider George Woolf. His primary jockey was John Red Pollard, a hard-bitten ex-prizefighter with an enormous vocabulary and a wry wit, whose fierce loyalty to his horse and fearlessness in the saddle would make racing history. Separately, Pollard and Seabiscuit were nothing more than a failing jockey and a broken-down horse. Together, they became hard luck heroes for a troubled nation.
