Product Description

A great American story from Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Gary Ross, Seabiscuit stars Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper. Based on the inspiring true story of three men - a jockey, a trainer and a businessman - and the undersized racehorse who took the entire nation on the ride of a lifetime. This breathtaking film achievement is "a must-see moviegoing experience" (Chicago Sun-Times) and "a flat-out great movie!" (Larry King Live, CNN)

"Seabiscuit" is the ultimate underdog story, proving that sometimes the little guy—or in this case, the little horse—can come out on top, even if he's got legs shorter than a French bulldog's attention span. It's a tale of triumph over adversity, of speed conquering size, and of betting your life savings on a horse named after a seafood appetizer.

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2010

The psychologist, Carl Jung described synchronicity as the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. This story brings three figures together in synchronicity: Red Pollard played by Tobey McGuire, Charles Howard played by Jeff Bridges, and Thomas Smith played by Chris Cooper. A jockey that was too big (5'7"), a trainer too old, a horse that was too small, and an owner too dumb to know the difference. The horse that was too small, at 15 hands, was Seabiscuit.

Charles Howard moved west with 21 cents in his pocket as a bicycle salesman who became the richest man in California once he started selling the horseless carriage. The loss of his son in a truck accident and the subsequent separation from his wife change the man's life. He meets a drifter and plainsman who loves horses and understands them. He is Thomas Smith. Together they look for horses to buy, and Smith sees something in the eye of one of them and convinces Howard to pay the $8,000 price. Smith also notices a hot-tempered jockey who was abandoned by his family at an early age. He thinks he will be the perfect match for the horse that slept and ate too much--Red Pollard. The cantankerous two take an instant like to each other.

Pollard, Smith, and Seabiscuit are underdogs in the time of the Great Depression where underdogs were something to be cherished and cheered. The bowlegged, graceless horse begins to win race after race and captures the imagination of a nation. The horse that is too short starts to win with a jockey who believes in holding the horse back until it can see the eye of the horse next to it, and then lets him loose destroying the spirit of the competition. Howard decides to push for a match race between Seabcuit and the lord of the east, War Admiral, who at a sleek 18 hands, seems to be an easy winner. Radio announcer "Tick-Tock McLaughlin" played by William Macy plays up the match race and adds a humorous touch to the movie.

This double DVD series is a great buy. The first is the movie, and the second offers: Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral, the 1938 Match Race; Winners' Circle: The Heroes Behind the Legend; HBO First Look; The True Story of Seabiscuit. The photo book contains a few pictures from the movie and should be inconsequential in your consideration. In addition to the superb acting and story line, David McCullough provides an outstanding narration much as he did for the series, "Civil War." This gives the film the feel of a docu-drama.

This is a story about a horse and people who interacted in a way that gave purpose to each other. There's no handicap in watching this.

P. S. It would be nice if all the parts of real life ended as the movie. Howard owned several horses, but none ever achieved the stature of Seabiscuit. He would die in California in 1950. Thomas Smith became the top horse trainer in the country. Red Pollard suffered numerous injuries as a jockey, but one injury led him to fall in love with the nurse attending him. He married her and had two children. He was less fortunate financially as he ended up as a valet polishing boots of other jockeys. Seabiscuit was retired at the age of seven, and sired other horses. Its heart gave way at the young age of 14 and he is buried at an unknown location on the Howard ranch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seabiscuit--not just a story about a horse but about an era similar to today! Great stuff!!

Wonderful story of three men from disparate backgrounds meet and form a bond greater than the sum of the three. A wealthy man who has lost his son and wife, a “horse whisperer” who feels that modern horse training has passed him by, and a young red headed boy scratching out an existence in the depression from bare knuckled boxing to being a jockey in the wild races below the border in Mexico where Americans go to drink liquor and watch horse racing. (Prohibition)

Oh yeah and the magic that brings them together is a small horse (only 14 1/2 hands high-58” at the shoulders) who inherited great speed and had a soul that REFUSED to be beaten by the thoroughbreds from the East Coast that were up to 18 hands high!-72”-6 feet tall at the shoulder!)

The horse was Seabiscuit son of Hardtack. Both names refer to hard crackers taken on long sea voyages. His sire Hardtack was a rambunctious horse who even refused to leave the starting gate in one race. But his son Seabiscuit had his daddy’s speed and these three men loved this horse and worked together to make this horse a sign of the Depression. 25% of able bodied Americans had lost employment with the crash of the Stock Market in 1929. There was no welfare, or workman’s comp. No food stamps. Families lost EVERYTHING and took to the road in the one thing they did own--a Model T Ford built by Henry Ford. These down and out workers looked to Seabiscuit as their savior. If this little horse could beat the big guys well maybe things weren’t so bad and there WAS a future! (FDR!)

The racing sequences are magnificent. You feel that you are in the irons (stirrups) on the backs of these 1500# thoroughbreds. It’s amazing how they were able to show a horse “shifting gears” to top speed.

Look for Gary Stevens a real jockey who played the “Iceman” George Woolf. Gary had retired as a full time jockey and became a trainer and a TV analyst. He agreed to play Iceman and what a superb job he did! This film was made in 2003 and Gary returned to racing winning his NINTH Triple Crown race in 2013 in the Preakness at the age of 50. Pound for pound, jockeys are the most fit athletes in the world.

Before Tobey became Spiderman, he was “Red” Pollard the famed jockey of Seabiscuit. Jeff Daniels, Chris Cooper--wow what a movie!

(BTW--the book this movie was based on is by Lauren Hillenbrand. Her writing is magnificent! You ARE on that horse as it rounds the final turn and heads for the finish line!--Both book and movie are superb.)

My two dreams since I was a little girl was to be an astronaut and ride a thoroughbred. Became a scientist and have ridden anything with four legs from Shetlands to Tennessee Walkers, Arabians, quarter horses, and even “breezed” some polo ponies helping to exercise them after injury. Just never strong enough to ride in the irons, clutching the mane and reins of a Grade 1 thoroughbred!
