In the 1930's, the Great Depression made optimism a rare commodity. The stock market was in shambles, businesses folded daily and farmers sank deeper into bankruptcy. Out of this misery rose an unlikely hero that became the greatest thing to happen to the Great Depression.

Seabiscuit was an under-sized, crooked-legged, muddy-colored horse that routinely smashed attendance records anytime he made an appearance. From 1936-1940, he established himself as one of history's most extraordinary athletes. His most famous match by far was the 1938 Pimlico Special against his eastern rival and Triple Crown Winner, War Admiral, a contest still regarded as one of the greatest horse races ever run. Inspired by the book by Laura Hillenbrand and Universal Pictures' 2003 Oscar-nominated movie, Seabiscuit.
