Excellent, But Not 100% Accurate

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2004)

Seabiscuit is an excellent film, and shows a real moment in our country's history when a racehorse became a legend. Gary Ross did an excellent job in directing this movie. Spoiler: My main problem is the somewhat inaccurate portrayal of Seabiscuit as a "dog" before the Howards bought him. Seabiscuit had set several track records before the Howards bought him, and they paid quite a chunk of change for him...Probably the equivalent of 125K today...The horse was not being trained properly, and the Howards had the right trainer to bring him to his full potential.It's quite a good film, and great for the whole family...
