Now here's a horse race: Seabiscuit against the Triple Crown winner War Admiral in 1938, in a race dubbed the "Match of the Century." If you saw the movie Seabiscuit (2001), then you'll know that the horse was an aging horse that finished last in most of his races - everyone gave up on him (he was even used as a work horse) until his new owner Charles Howard, trainer Tom Smith and jockey Red Pollard gave him a new life. In this race, Pollard let War Admiral catch up to his horse. Seabiscuit, upon seeing War Admiral next to him, surged and won by four lengths. Link |
