Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z He was still angry over Pimlico starter Jim Milton’s use of tongs on War Admiral the year before, and he was sticking to his vow never to run a horse at the track again.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z War Admiral’s hoof had grown back, and he was back in training. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z But by race day, it was clear that War Admiral wasn’t coming. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The weight issue was putdng War Admiral’s schedule in doubt, and Howard’s offer to run under any weight provided an alternative. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Seabiscuit was going straight to Belmont to prepare for War Admiral. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Against ordinary horses, Seabiscuit had enough early speed, but War Admiral was no ordinary horse.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z If Woolf put the throttle to the floor right from the bell, he promised him, Seabiscuit would beat War Admiral to the first turn.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z War Admiral was growing so violent that he was endangering himself and everyone nearby. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z War Admiral tried to answer, clinging to Seabiscuit for a few strides, but it was no use. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In a storied career oftwenty-three races, through the Triple Crown and virtually every fabled race in the East, no one had ever seen all War Admiral could give.
