Seabiscuit was an unlikely champion. For two years
he floundered at the lowest level of racing, before his dormant talent
was discovered by three men. One was Tom Smith, an arthritic old
mustang breaker. The second was Red Pollard, a half-blind jockey. The
third was Charles Howard, a former bicycle repairman who made a
fortune by introducing the automobile to the American West. Bought for
a bargain-basement price by Howard and rehabilitated by Smith and
Pollard, Seabiscuit overcame a phenomenal run of bad fortune to become
one of the most spectacular, charismatic performers in the history of
sports.
Laura Hillenbrand unfolds the spellbinding story of this marvelous
animal in a riveting tale of grit, grace, luck, and an underdog's
stubborn determination. "Seabiscuit" is an American classic.
