Their Dreams for a Racehorse

Nothing more than the story of Seabiscuit, a stunted colt with asymmetrical knees that had for two years been hacked around no-good race tracks which led to permanent leg damage.

Yet by 1937 Seabiscuit could draw crowds of 60,000 and had more newspaper column inches devoted to him than Mussolini, Hitler or Roosevelt.

His popularity peaking during his appearances at the Santa Anita Handicap.

America had gone to the races for the first time since the Depression and fallen in love with a misshapen colt of great character. Now it wanted a winner.

Seabiscuit is also the story of three men,these three combined to create the legend of Seabiscuit and epitomise a dream for the emerging new America.
