American Experience background

American Experience

A remarkable thoroughbred racehorse, Seabiscuit defied expectations despite his unusual physical characteristics.

Seabiscuit was a remarkable thoroughbred racehorse despite his unassuming appearance, with stumpy legs and an ungainly gait. In the 1930s, a team of four men - owner Charles Howard, trainer Tom Smith, and two skilled jockeys - turned Seabiscuit into a national hero, riding him to glory and escaping the hardships of Depression-era America.
