Closed Captioned Seabiscuit: American Experience | Seabiscuit #1511 [TV-G]
Despite his boxy build, stumpy legs, scraggly tail, and ungainly gait, Seabiscuit was one of the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorses in history. His fabulously wealthy owner, Charles Howard; his famously silent and stubborn trainer, Tom Smith; and the two gifted jockeys who rode him to glory turned Seabiscuit into a national hero.
