Who would have believed that a knobby-kneed ugly little colt called Seabiscuit would become the most celebrated racehorse of all time? Grandson of Man 0' War, his head was too big, his legs too short, and his gallop awkward. His original owners gave up on him when he was 2, trying unsuccessfully to sell him. It took the sharp eyes of ranch foreman turned trainer, Tom Smith, to recognize the marks of a truly great horse beneath Seabisuit's appearance. In this classic first published in 1963, Moody recounts the true story of a plucky horse that refused to quit, a down-on-his-luck jockey determined to help his horse win, and the trainer that brought out the best in both. During the Great Depression, Seabiscuit captured American hearts from the soup kitchens to the White House. Seabiscuit is a real American champion....
