 Seabiscuit's career began slowly and consisted primarily of claiming
races. By age 4 he was setting track records and earning championship
awards. At 4 Seabiscuit demonstrated his speed by setting records in
the San Juan Capistrano, Massachusetts, Yonkers, and Riggs Handicaps.
He also won the Brooklyn, Butler, and Bay Meadows Handicaps and was
named Champion Male Handicap Horse. Seabiscuit and War
Admiral were
the only competitors in the Pimlico Special of 1938, making it a de
facto match race. Seabiscuit won by four lengths in track record time.
He also won the Hollywood Gold Cup, a second Bay Meadows Handicap, and
was named Horse of the Year.An injury at 6 kept Seabiscuit in recovery
for the year, but he made an excellent return at 7 in the Santa Anita
Handicap. Seabiscuit was inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1958.
