Re-mix of the most exciting 2-minutes in sports history. Narration by Scott Glenn, music by Ennio Morricone. Original video clip from PBS, American Experience documentary directed by Stephen Ives. This documentary was far better than the Hollywood feature film on this subject. The music was borrowed from "The Untouchables", and with just one edit, matches the visual drama stride for stride. Two great horses, and an unforgettable stretch run by the underdog.

  • brilliant thanks for posting Cosmo

  • Whenever I watch this, I wish that Maestro Morricone could see (and hear) it. With all due respect to the scene in "The Untouchables" I borrowed his music from, it's in a far better place here with Seabiscuit, and this real-life epic. Thanks for your comment.

  • Great video!! No matter how many times I see this race on video, I tear up. Seabiscuit was just an ordinary-looking smallish horse. But what a champion. Thanks so much for sharing this video.

  • You're welcome. Thanks for the post!

  • Ohh man ... awesome .... this one was even better ..... thanks for the wonderful post !!

  • Its all about heroes: a great horse, and Morricone's great music. Glad you liked it.

  • its the way he achieves those wins that makes him special. super star biscuit. it gives me the shivers to think what he would have accomplished if biscuit had received proper training and care right from the start......

  • the best horses in history are Italian.

    RIBOT, gallop. 16 races, the most important in the world. 16 wins, 100% of wins, record speed.

    VARENNE trot. 73 races, 62 wins, 9 placings. Record Speed. Seabiscuit 83 races 33 wins. To be the best horse you have to run more races in the world. Italy, France, Germany, Sweden and beat horses of the Queen of England. We have respect for Seabiscuit, but it'S just the best horse of the united states

  • i read the book and cried. i've been fascinated with seabiscuit ever since. i finally got to see the race! thank you so much.
