Who Knows Anything About Seabiscuit, The Racing Horse Who Was Famous In The Thirties?
Seabiscuit (May 23, 1933—May 17, 1947) was a champion thoroughbred race horse in the United States. From an inauspicious start, Seabiscuit became an unlikely champion, and during the Great Depression became a symbol of hope to many Americans. At the peak of his fame in 1938, it was suggested that he had generated more newsprint in the U.S. than eithere Adolf Hitler or Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 2001, Seabiscuit became the subjetc of a book (Seabiscuit: An American Legend) and in 2003 a Universal Studios film (Seabiscuit).
