Talk:War Admiral

message: The film Seabiscuit describes War Admiral as being a much larger horse than Seabiscuit (18 hands to 15), yet the text of this article describes WA as small. How big was he in reality? Martyn Smith 16:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The article on War Admiral says he won the 1938 the Stars and Stripes Handicap. The Official Career Chart for Seabiscuit at the end of Lauren Hillenbrand's "Seabiscuit" says War Minstrel won the 1938 Stars and Stripes Handicap.
War Admiral does not appear to have run in that race.  
Thus, the article is incorrect, as is the entry for the Stars and Stripes Handicap.
