context_page_description: Seabiscuit was a champion thoroughbred racehorse in the United States who became the top money winning racehorse up to the 1940s, as noted in films and books. He beat the 1937 Triple-Crown winner, War Admiral, by 4 lengths in a 2-horse special at Pimlico and was voted American Horse of the Year for 1938.
  A small horse, at 15 hands high, Seabiscuit had an inauspicious start to his racing career, winning only a fourth of his first 40 races, but became an unlikely champion and a symbol of hope to many Americans during the Great Depression.
  Seabiscuit has been the subject of numerous books and films, including Seabiscuit: the Lost Documentary; the Shirley Temple film The Story of Seabiscuit; a book, Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand; and a film adaptation of Hillenbrand's book, Seabiscuit, that was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
