Summary

Who would have believed that a knobby-kneed little colt called Seabiscuit would become one of the most celebrated racehorses of all time? Although Seabiscuit was the grandson of the legendary Man O' War, he was neither handsome nor graceful. His head was too big, his legs were too short, and his gallop was awkward.

During the depths of the Great Depression, Seabiscuit won against incredible odds and uplifted the hearts of Americans from the streets to the White House. Ralph Moody recounts the thrilling tale of the plucky horse who refused to quit, the down-on-his-luck jockey who didn't let horrendous accidents keep him out of the saddle, and the taciturn trainer who brought out the best in both.

Critic reviews

"Moody is no stranger to a well-told horse tale, having penned Stagecoach West and the beloved Little Britches books. But it's this story of the knobby-kneed colt called Seabiscuit that has won the most hearts, and is here lovingly retold in audiobook form. Storyteller Jim Weiss narrates, using his very best talents to capture the drama and heart of clumsy Seabiscuit himself, the grandson of the legendary Man O'War." ( The Midwest Book Review)

Come on Seabiscuit

Beautifully written and superbly narrated.knew some of this gutsy little horses story through the film of his life but this was more detailed, I hope some of his progeny had his character and speed to make a name for themselves and him as a sire

This one just takes the biscuit.q

Move over Black Beauty, Seabiscuit is a far better horse than you.
And what's more, a real horse in a fantastic true storey.
A great listen, well read.

Pleasant

A pleasant book which is an easy listen.
It does not have the intensity or the romance of Laura’s book but creditable all the same
