This sucks.

Where is the race?

All I hear is some old fart who is a lousy caller.

This is why racing has not moved forward in 50 years.

@JR08620 it has not moved forward because a 14 year old put pictures of the race together with the call?

you know phar lap beat Seabiscuit , War Admiral and Man O' War.

well phar lap, seabiscuuit, war Admiral and Man O' War was my favourite, but sadly they died. =[

[carlykaiser]

Um excuse me, War Admiral wasn't even born when Phar Lap DIED in 1932.Two years later Admiral was born.

Phar Lap never saw Seabiscuit or Man O' War--ever

Now is the time for all of us horse lovers to step up! Thousands of horses are being slaughtered right now in the US for human consumption.Even Racehorses and pregnant mares are killed. USDA studies show over 92% of horses slaughtered are healthy and 3 out of 10 contain unhealthy chemicals.

this match race was kinda evil. war admiral is seabiscuits uncle. lol how cold!

[catcheersalott]

Seabuscuit was an amazing horse, he was smaller than the rest of the horses. When seabuscuit started racing they trained him to lose, when Tom Smith got him, he trained him to win and they taught him how to be a horse again. Read the book and watch the movie

No wonder Biscuit beat the Admiral. He was a cheat - at least his trainer was. There have been allegations in the past that Seabiscuit was administered horse growth hormones (HGH) and other drugs by Tom Smith and Red Pollard. Smith was actually busted for drugging a later horse. Biscuit does little at 2 and 3 years and suddenly starts winning under Smith - this just doesn't happen. It was observed that he looked bigger at the Anita in 1940, and he died much younger than most racers.

@bigjohnfl I don't actually care. ;)

And I only didn't mentioned Secretariaz 'cause everyone knows him. Names like Citation are about to be forgotten. Or Round Table.

@Rimfaxe96

Secretariat? The only PROVABLE "greateast racehorse of all time". Numbers. ie times CANT be argued.

[conversgirl206]

Seabiscuit racing against his half uncle. Man O' war sired both war admiral and hard tack but with different dams and hard tack sired seabiscuit. aparently hard tacks side was better.

@carlykaiser "it has not moved forward because a 14 year old put pictures of the race together with the call?" This comment owns JR08620 like Sea Biscuit owned War Admiral lol!!!

[Rimfaxe96]

I really don´t know why everyone has to argue who is better. Sure, I like Man o' War most, but all were great race horses, Man O' War, Seabiscuit, Ruffian, Foolish Pleasure, Native Dancer and so on! Respect, the 20th century brought the best horses. But also a favourite of my is Eclipse, one of the first unbeaten horses ever. In the end he was banned from racing cause no one wanted to bet for another horse, lol! He lived in the 18th century.
