Always wondered what a seabiscuit was after seeing the movie now my eyes are wide open to why they call him (americas horse) Along with Mr Roosevelt Seabiscuit gave americans hope when their was no hope during the depression. The name seabiscuit will never be forgotten from generation to generation!

We weren't there this day but were shortly afterwards, we are big Seabiscuit fans and would recommend going to Ridgewood Ranch and see it for yourself. It brings chills down your spine and a big old lump in your throat! Great tour.

Thank you for posting this beautiful tribute to the remarkable Seabiscuit. Sad to say, I could not recognize any of the folks in attendance. It has been too many years. Would like to see a list of those people who were a major part of the Biscuit's life. Thanks again.

I have been a Seabiscuit fan for a long time now and had a chance to go down to the ranch all the way from Washington State with my wife and grandson. The house was not as I imagined to be, it was smaller and a regular family home. When I went over to Seabiscuits barn with the two jockey on both sides of the door it sent chills down my spine and the hair stood up on the back of my neck, I like to think it was Seabiscuit and the Howards saying thank you for coming thanks Jim
