From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seabiscuit was a champion thoroughbred race horse. From an inauspicious start, Seabiscuit became an unlikely champion and, during the Great Depression in the United States, was taken up as a symbol of hope by many Americans. At the peak of his fame in 1938, it was suggested that he had generated more newsprint in the U.S. than either Adolf Hitler or Franklin D. Roosevelt, but this is an urban legend. In 2001, Seabiscuit became the subject of a book (Seabiscuit: An American Legend) and later a Universal Studios film (Seabiscuit).
