Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was still, his eyes trained on War Admiral’s head.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf stopped off at a betting venue and bought a ticket on Seabiscuit, to win. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Someone told him that Pollard had again been hospitalized, and Woolf was crestfallen. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf said if Richardson had just stopped shouting for one single instant to concentrate on riding, he might have gotten his horse’s nose in front. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As they approached Cassidy, Woolf suddenly blurted out, “Charley, look out because the Biscuit kicks like hell and I don’t want you or your horse to get hurt.” Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf replied that his seat to the rear of Seabiscuit in several of his winning races had given him a good spot from which to study the horse and he had simply taken the opportunity.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z He firmly believed that Richardson had not fouled Woolf enough to merit banning him from the track for the rest of the year.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z It was Woolf, and he wanted to get Pollard’s opinion on the match. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z A young jockey named George Woolf, aboard for one of these woeful performances, summed up the colt’s mental state in four words: “mean, restive and ragged.” Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf looked back for Ligaroti just as his mount caught sight of Specify. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z He bummed cigarettes off of the reporters as he praised Smith and Bradshaw and old Doc Babcock, then took a few shots at Woolf again, as he always used to.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The press began to lobby to have the suspension overturned for Woolf. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Today, with George Woolf aboard, had run a miserable race. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The valet trotted up with the requisite fig leaf, and Woolf, smiling out of one side of his mouth, wrapped it around his waist, rode into the winner’s circle, and posed for the photo. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Incredibly, Woolf’s timing was so good that he rode for more than a decade before he was beaten in a photo finish of a stakes race. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z On the first point, Woolf was quickly convinced. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Giving himself repeated daily shots of canine insulin in the abdomen, arm, or leg, Woolf almost certainly spent his days boomeranging between insulin gluts and deficits. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z To help some of them conceal their big feet—and their coming growth spurts—Woolf started up a black market in his shoes. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Insulin injections encouraged Woolf to gain weight, and to manage his diabetes he needed to consume regular, high- protein, low-carbohydrate meals—meats were recommended—which also added pounds. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Ahead of them all, Woolf stood like a titan in the irons. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z NBC had asked Alexander to host a nationally aired, live interview with Woolf and Pollard, conducted from Pollard’s hospital room. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf glanced at War Admiral’s beautiful head, sweeping through the air like a sickle. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Smith and Pollard were positive that Woolf was the right man for Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Between races, Woolf climbed atop the jockeys’ lockers and curled up in the arms of Morpheus. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The article speculated that the stewards’ “secret investigation” may have revealed “the identity of the race figure who gave Woolf his orders,” but that the officials were not telling the public. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z “It’s a book we discovered. By Virginia Woolf. We’ve been quoting the lines to each other off and on.” All The Bright Places 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z In the saddle, emancipated from their bodies, Pollard, Woolf, and all other reinsmen sailed eight feet over the world, emphatically free, emphatically alive. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z With the ceremony over, Crosby rushed after Woolf and Richardson. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z It was only the third stakes win of Pollard’s career, and in a backward kind of way, he owed it to Woolf. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In those early days, Pollard and Woolf found common ground in their quick minds, cerebral riding styles, and keen senses of humor. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z But Woolf must have burned with the frustration of the nose loss in 1938, and the guilt for having possibly exacerbated the horse’s injury in 1939. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In 1934 Woolf and Gallant Sir were set to defend their title. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The film showed it clearly: Woolf had lifted his whip up and repeatedly cracked Johnny Adams on the flanks. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z With eight horses ahead of him, Woolf couldn’t see what was happening out front. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf took them under his wing, letting them copilot his roadster and teaching them the fine arts of horsemanship. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Pollard would never escape Woolf’s shadow, but he was not a jealous man. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was not moving at all, his chin in Seabiscuit’s mane, his eyes on the horses ahead, his hands still. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In the jockeys’ room, Woolf unbuttoned his silks and took them off. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The moment the result was handed down, Howard contacted Woolf. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z He approached Howard with a compromise: Get George Woolf to ride Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf didn’t need to tell his horse what to do. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Trainer Woody Fitzgerald jumped in his car and drove to Woolf’s house. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As the weekday wonder and the money man, Pollard and Woolf established themselves in the uppermost tier of North American racing. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z With nothing but the long backstretch ahead of him, Woolf carried out Pollard’s instructions. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The crowds gathered ten deep for one hundred feet in each direction, a few spectators reaching through the slats of the fence to stroke Seabiscuit’s chest as Smith cinched the girth on Woolf’s kangaroo-leather saddle. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Pollard was sure that if Woolf let War Admiral challenge him, Seabiscuit would run faster and try harder than if Woolf tried to hold the lead alone. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had the ideal pedigree for a jockey. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z No one had ever seen anything like George Woolf. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf would be on a hookup from a Boston broadcasting studio. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf left his new employers with a prediction. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf saw the white cap slipping out of reach and feared that this narrow path would be his only chance to break loose. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Pollard’s strategy, Woolf’s cunning, and Smith’s training had given Seabiscuit a chance in a race he otherwise could not have won. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf and Pollard fell into the first crisis of their friendship. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z It was here, Richardson later said, that he locked his leg over Woolf’s leg. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z My favorite novel is Orlando, by Virginia Woolf. Beauty Queens 2011-05-24T00:00:00Z Woolf studied the horse’s head, then straightened out. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Anyone with whom Woolf came into contact could be after him. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In the grandstand, the crowd pleaded for Woolf to do something. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z George Woolf, from the very beginning, stood a rung above Red Pollard. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf began coming in regularly, parking his Stetson on the table and pointing Greenberg’s nose in the Racing Form while he romanced her. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Like all athletic greats, Woolf was a driving perfectionist. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf heard the wave of voices and knew what was happening. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z After listening to Woolf and Pollard discussing strategy, David Alexander asked them if he could state in print that Seabiscuit would outgun War Admiral for the early lead. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf’s phenomenal success came partly from God-given gifts, partly from experience, and partly from exhaustive study. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Wall wound Stagehand up to top speed, his eyes fixed on Woolf’s back. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf held still for several strides, feeling for lameness, but detected nothing. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z There was no trace of bitterness in Woolf’s voice when he spoke of the race. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf cantered the horse back to the cheering grandstand and calmly asked his valet for a saddle towel. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As the two horses banked into the first turn, Woolf remembered Pollard’s advice to reel Seabiscuit in. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z On the morning of the race, Woolf was scheduled to give the horse a light gallop. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had to get far enough in front to cross ahead of War Admiral and claim it. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z After an agonizing interval, Woolf cantered Seabiscuit back to the top of the homestretch. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Richardson immediately denied placing any bet, and Woolf denied that he had ever made any such statement, or even spoken to any reporter. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z By the time he was galloping out, everyone at the track knew what Woolf had not yet noticed. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Their hope was that without Woolf, Seabiscuit would lose, enabling wagers on long shots to pay off The frightening thing was that the kidnappers had not been identified. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf met him in the paddock, and Smith gave him a leg up. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z At the studio, Woolf was given the same script. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Where other elite athletes betray their doubts about their capacities with displays of touchy egotism, Woolf was utterly insouciant. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf weighed a lot more than the imposts assigned to most of these horses, but somehow he was able to circumvent the rule requiring riders to be within five pounds of the assignment. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z After Woolf dismounted, Azucar butted him out of the way, ran over a spectator, slashed the NBC Radio wire—cutting off the national broadcast—and dragged his terrified groom down the track like a toboggan. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf rolled up alongside the jockey in the white cap. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z “His eye was rolling in its socket as if the horse was in agony,” Woolf later recalled. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was sure that he would soon burn out. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was strung flat over Seabiscuit’s back, driving for all his worth. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Seabiscuit ate up the length of rein, bounding past Special Agent and leaving Woolf and Indian Broom flat-footed. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z All the way around the track, the horse Woolf thought he had been chasing had in fact been behind him, stalking him. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z An instant later, Woolf felt a subtle hesitation in his opponent, a wavering. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The realization shivered through Woolf: The caps of Stagehand and Sceneshifter had been switched. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z A jockey’s feet might bleed, but donning Woolf’s shoes was an honor. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf and Richardson waited side by side on the track, Woolf with his hands on his hips, Richardson with his arms folded on the rail. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was there with him; Howard had insisted that Pollard ride in the match, but he was covering his bases. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf said something about having believed that the horse had simply stumbled. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf kicked off his stirrups, leaned his weight on his hands, swung his right leg over Seabiscuit’s rump, and pushed himself into the air. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had just told them exactly what they were about to tell him. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had no idea that beneath him, something was about to go wrong. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As four pageboys struggled to haul the four-foot-high solid-gold trophy to Howard in the winner’s circle, Woolf was wreathed in flowers. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The only one who was happy about it was Woolf. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had gambled everything, and it seemed to have worked. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf’s presence was a constant reminder of Pollard’s shaky position. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The place was vintage Woolf, decorated floor to ceiling in flamboyant cowboy memorabilia. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf, remembered former bug boy Sonny Greenberg, was “fabulous in everything he done.” Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Though Frenchy’s concepts of reducing were in some cases medieval, they were generally safer than those the jockeys dreamed up on their own, so Woolf probably benefited as a result. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Seabiscuit was built low to the ground, so Woolf’s view was constantly obstructed by bigger horses. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z If he wasn’t, Howard said, Woolf had the mount. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was dangling the rail slot in front of him, inviting him to take it. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Red Pollard and George Woolf had signed on to a life that used men up. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Sometime later that day, Woolf received a telegram. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf knew that among the local riders, only Wayne Wright was left-handed. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z So Woolf made another concession to his disease. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had no option but to wait for a hole to break ahead of him. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z At the door of the jockeys’ room, Woolf shed his bodyguards. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In the saddle, Woolf could feel his mount fighting the surface. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had spent Seabiscuit’s rally much too early, in pursuit of the wrong horse. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Accordingly, expectations for Woolf’s career in the saddle preceded him into the world. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Every day riders dug holes in the surface and burrowed in, Pollard and Woolf probably included. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf read his lines, and Pollard read his responses. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Finally back in his stirrups and straightened out, Woolf despaired over his position. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In his brief career Dowell had learned what Red Pollard, George Woolf, and countless other riders had long since known. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Smith wired the news to Woolf in New York, asking that he come up immediately. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf called his bluff and volunteered his gleaming new Cord roadster for the job. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Back at Del Mar, officials supported Howard, stating that the accusations that Seabiscuit had been restrained, or that Howard or Smith had told Woolf to do so, were ludicrous. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Photographers shooting races would record jockeys in various attitudes of strain; in the middle of it all would be Woolf, smiling the way a man does when he humors a child. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z They overheard Richardson accusing Woolf of grabbing his bridle, and Woolf retorting that Richardson had grabbed his whip. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z This was a problem facing nearly every jockey, but with the onset ofhis diabetes, Woolf’s problems were compounded. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z However, we wondered whether it owed a little too much to the techniques of Mrs. Woolf. Atonement 2001-09-20T00:00:00Z In March of 1941, after three serious breakdowns, Virginia Woolf wrote a note to her husband and walked to a nearby river. All The Bright Places 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z For a terrible moment, Woolf clung to Seabiscuit’s neck, a millimeter from falling off, then regained his balance. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Going into the first turn with only one horse behind him, Woolf asked Seabiscuit to move up. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z He told Woolf to gun to the lead but to keep him in check on the backstretch. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z From the far outside, Woolf felt something coming.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z At the bottom of the Depression, when wrenching need narrowed the parameters of experience as never before, the liberation offered by the racehorse was, to young men like Pollard and Woolf, a siren song. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf hustled him deftly; having begun his career booting horses through walk-up match races in Indian country, he knew how to hit the gas on a horse.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf dropped low over the saddle and called into Seabiscuit’s ear, asking him for everything he had.

All The Bright Places 2015-01-06T00:00:00Z When he could no longer hear War Admiral’s hooves beating the track, Woolf looked back. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z It was only because Ligaroti was so fast, Howard said, that Woolf was unable to execute the plan. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf couldn’t stop laughing and was barely able to grunt out his responses. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf felt the spectacle was worth the price of new paint and a furious agent. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was an uncensored man, in word and deed. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Setting aside an ambition to be a Canadian Mountie, Woolf began race riding while in his mid-teens, apparently padding his age by a year. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Fitzsimmons liked Pollard’s strategy of pushing for the early lead, but like Smith, Woolf, and Pollard, he believed that the match was not going to be determined by speed. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z To seize this opportunity, Woolf would have to reach for everything Seabiscuit had. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Off the track, Woolf steered clear of the town’s appeals to vice, preferring late-morning pit stops in Checks Sloan’s restaurant for a complimentary beer and a bowl of turtle soup. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Insulin had only been discovered about a decade before Woolf’s diagnosis. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z A thirty-pound weight concession to Stagehand might be insurmountable, and Woolf knew it. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Most of the time, Woolf would only let the horse fly through a short sprint before pulling him up and circling back for another go. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Although still angry over Woolf’s suspension, Howard didn’t want to court more trouble with California racing officials by hiring Woolf for the Mexican race. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z At the top of the homestretch Woolf stopped, testing the footing. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z But this day Woolf felt something new, a gathering beneath him, something springlike. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In a few seconds, Woolf and Seabiscuit had stolen the track from him, nullifying his post-position edge and his legendary early speed. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Soon afterward, Woolf drove from Maryland back to California, where he arrived at Tanforan to general applause. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Richardson was playing every card he had, hollering in Woolf’s ear to try to distract him or provoke him into fouling himself out of the race. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In the jockeys’ room, Pollard surely never heard the end of it: George Woolf had ridden Heelfly.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The film showed Richardson committing every foul short of shooting Woolf off his horse. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Red, Agnes, David Alexander, and Yummy spent the evening in The Derby, a tavern Woolf had bought in preparation for his retirement. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf thought he looked as if he hadn’t run the race yet. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As War Admiral walked to the line alongside the flagman and starter Cassidy, Woolf worked to fray the Triple Crown winner’s famously delicate nerves. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z At roughly the same time that Woolf started his potentially deadly gamble, Pollard engaged in a gamble of his own. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z If Pollard was the jester, Woolf was the king. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf walked down to the paddock, where Clem McCarthy awaited him, microphone in hand for a live interview. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The next morning the stewards called Woolf and Richardson in and threw the book at them. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The gathering Woolf had felt in Seabiscuit vented itself in a massive downward push. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Leaning around the far turn, Woolf drew a bead on Specify again. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z “I hate to beat Kurtsinger,” Woolf said, “the cleverest jockey I ever competed against.” Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf knew he could easily beat the others, but he was beginning to worry that he couldn’t catch Specify. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf was suspended for the rest of the meet. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z On the night after Woolf won a top stakes race, the owner of the winning horse called to invite him to a postrace soiree with the moneyed set. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z On the night before the race, Woolf and his bodyguards joined Smith at Pollard’s bedside. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf had needed to hustle him to keep up with the front-runners. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Just before the race, Woolf and Richardson made a deal. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z But Woolf knew that infection and amputation were the least of his worries. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z But Pollard, like Woolf, was not willing to hang it up. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z All I need is luck, Woolf told a rapt audience. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Howard rushed up, looked at Seabiscuit, and then wheeled on Woolf.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf knew more about his horse than he did. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Seeing that Howard might bar Pollard from riding, Smith had started letting Woolf gallop Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z “I figures to myself,” he said later, “ ‘Woolf, get on that lane and follow it.’ Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf knew that to put Seabiscuit into a drive to catch Specify would leave him vulnerable to a late rally by Ligaroti. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Seabiscuit gazed at the throng, stirring gently in the sunshine; Woolf studied War Admiral, watching him unravel at the starting line, whirling in circles. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As Woolf matured and honed his craft, his moments of self-loathing gave way to quiet, unwavering confidence. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Before five hundred spectators, Seabiscuit breezed an easy mile under Woolf. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf threw himself forward as ballast, thrusting his feet straight back. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Walking the full length of the track, Woolf found that it circled the entire oval, a few feet from the rail. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Shouting passionately and waving his arms as he spoke, Richardson charged that Woolf had fouled him. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf balanced over his neck and steered him deftly through the pack, on the hunt for the white cap. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf agreed to do exactly what Pollard told him to do. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf loosened his fingers and let an inch or two of the reins slide through.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. The Things They Carried 1990-01-01T00:00:00Z Its most evident manifestation seemed innocuous enough: Woolf was prone to nodding off. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z With seventy yards to go, Richardson abruptly released the saddlecloth and grabbed Woolf’s whip hand. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z The skill of a man like Woolf was worth a lot more than $1,000 in a $100,000 race, and the owner turned down the offer. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Woolf wanted to get his weight off of his mount’s back, but he was going too fast. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Fifths of a second ticked off with precision in his head; Woolf timed his horses’ rallies so precisely that he regularly won races with heart- stopping, last-second dives. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Clearly, something was up: Woolf and Richardson were told not to accept any more mounts pending a meeting by the stewards. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z As Smith cinched the girth of Woolf’s kangaroo- leather saddle around Seabiscuit’s belly, Marcela stepped forward, clutching a medal of Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z In 1934, when Mexico banned gambling, the lively Tijuana that Woolf and Pollard had known faded. 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 Woolf could feel it now, the jar in the stride: pain. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Pollard and Woolf returned to the United States, where racing had been relegalized, and their careers began to diverge.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z Several reporters, remembering the foiled attempts to kidnap Woolf and tamper with Seabiscuit, speculated that the foul was the result of a race-fixing conspiracy. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z If Seabiscuit moved up, Woolf would be scraped off his saddle and slammed into the track. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z For Woolf, the longest shadow on his life surfaced a few years into his career. Seabiscuit: An American Legend 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z But Woolf recognized that his friend understood the horse better than he did.
