Description:
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. The heroes of this true story entered the stage as minor players and left as champions...true life American legends.
In 1936 an unlikely cast of characters came together: SEABISCUIT: a burned-out knobby-kneed racehorse; RED POLLARD: a down and out and half blind jockey; GEORGEWOLF: the "Ice Man", a cool and cocky rider; TOM SMITH: an aging western trainer bypassed by the big time; CHARLES S.HOWARD: Buick dealer and horse owner, a self-made man.
Seabiscuit’s story played out against America’s Great Depression, when one in four breadwinners was without work. Spectator sports, radio programming and movie theaters offered an escape and created instant celebrity, even for horses. When America needed him most, Seabiscuit became the working man’s hero and the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorse in history! He made us believe in ourselves, in courage, in perseverance, in America. No other racehorse has come close to Seabiscuit’s fame or his hold over the nation’s imagination.
-This program includes the complete archival Seabiscuit/War Admiral "Match Race," which is considered to be the greatest horse race in history.
-Riding Seabiscuit was George "Ice Man" Wolf, whom Laura Hillenbrand calls "the greatest jockey who ever lived."
-This documentary includes the real footage of jockey Red Pollard’s (Tobey Maguire in the Universal film) thrilling victory at the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap.
-Also in this film is an extensive interview with Laura Hillenbrand, writer of the #1 New York Times bestseller "Seabiscuit: An American Legend," and Bob Baffert, trainer of Kentucky Derby Winner "Silver Charm" and "Real Quiet".

Pretty interesting, but don't expect something amazing. It is a documentary that is old, and I like this style of documentary.

Would have been better if I hadn't seen the movie. Mostly racing footage. Not much about Red Pollard. Kinda made it seem that Ice Man was the hero.

This is a labor of love from Seabiscuit's owner, Charles Howard, as he chronicled the champion through home movies in 1939. What makes the DVD a must for racing fans is the historic nature of the footage; one could have only gotten closer to The Biscuit by being part of his racing team.
Though not being a "definitive" biography from the ultimate insider is beside the point. The Biscuit was larger than life to race fans then and his feats - due to books by Laura Hillenbrand and William ... Read More

For those racing fans that love 'Seabiscuit,' this is a must have DVD. It is an excellent source of racing history about the most famous racehorse of all time.
