          Seabiscuit was an unlikely champion. For two years 
          he floundered at the lowest level of racing, before his dormant talent 
          was discovered by three men. One was Tom Smith, an arthritic old 
          mustang breaker. The second was Red Pollard, a half-blind jockey. The 
          third was Charles Howard, a former bicycle repairman who made a 
          fortune by introducing the automobile to the American West. Bought for 
          a bargain-basement price by Howard and rehabilitated by Smith and 
          Pollard, Seabiscuit overcame a phenomenal run of bad fortune to become 
          one of the most spectacular, charismatic performers in the history of 
          sports. Laura Hillenbrand unfolds the spellbinding story of this marvelous 
          animal in a riveting tale of grit, grace, luck, and an underdog's 
          stubborn determination. "Seabiscuit" is an American classic.
