Who knows anything about seabiscuit, the racing horse who was very famous in the thirties?

Seabiscuit (May 23, 1933—May 17, 1947) was a champion thoroughbred race horse in the United States. From an inauspicious start, Seabiscuit became an unlikely champion, and during the Great Depression became a symbol of hope to 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. In 2001, Seabiscuit became the subject of a book (Seabiscuit: An American Legend) and in 2003 a Universal Studios film (Seabiscuit).

Pinetar is the name of the renowned show horse kept by Cordo Carraher of Oxford, Maryland, USA. On March 25, 2006, Pine Tar broke through his electric fence subjecting himself to previously unforseen danger.\n\nEDIT: additional info:\n\nI guess the only thing else I can offer of help would be to contact some of the horse breeders in Alabama by phone to see if they might have heard of him:\nhttp://www.magicyellow.com/category/Horse_Breeders/Cities.html\n\nAlso try posting your question on horse bulletin boards/forums on the internet.\n\nIf you add more information it would be easier as well. If you know what he used to race in, what places he might have finished, the time and dates, last known trainers, anything else you can think of, etc.

Three Ring and Excellent Meeting both ran in the 1999 Kentucky Derby;  Excellent Meeting also started in the 1999 Preakness, but was pulled up and did not finish.\n\nAs a rule, there is no point in running a filly against colts in the Triple Crown races.  There are lucrative races for the fillies to run in (Kentucky Oaks, Black-Eyed Susan, and Coaching Club American Oaks, among others) and earn money and black type.  The fillies that have won triple crown races against colts have, for some reason, not been very successful as broodmares.  In modern times, Genuine Risk turned out to have some really serious problems carrying a foal to term and only gave birth to two live foals, Count Our Blessings and Genuine Reward.  Neither of these colts ever raced, and Count Our Blessings was gelded.  Genuine Reward has sired approximately 3 dozen offspring, none of which has won a stakes.  \n\nWinning Colors, the other modern filly winner of the Derby, has produced 9 live foals, one of which earned about $500,000 in Japan.  \n\nThoroughbred fillies and mares can beat the boys.  In Australia, Makybe Diva, "the Queen," won everlasting fame by winning three consecutive renewals of the Melbourne Cup against males.  Females have done well in the Arc de Triomphe, Europe's premier race for 3-year-olds and up.  Fillies Urban Sea, All Along, Akiyda, Gold River, Detroit, Ivanjica, and the immortal Allez France are all winners of the "Arc."\n\nUnless a filly seems to be overwhelmingly superior to the colts in her crop, most trainers and owners are going to be reluctant to run her in the triple crown against the colts.  There's just too much money to be earned by keeping her in her own division, and her value isn't increased a great deal by starting her against colts.

Pat Valenzuela is one of the most talented and troubled jockeys in the history of the sport.  When he ride he wins major races, meet titles, etc. but he has battled substance abuse throughout his career and it has cost him years of time on the bench due to suspensions.  I don't know if he is gorgeous but watching him on a horse is like poetry in motion.

Arguable, Arkle was awesome-\nbut most people would probably name Red Rum,\nfor all those Grand National wins.\n\nHEY- The first link below says\n"Arkle has seen off Desert Orchid and Red Rum to top a poll of the all-time favourite racehorses in Britain and Ireland."

One of the best international race mares retired last year.  Her name was Maykbe Diva and she ran in Austalia.  She is most famous for winning the Melbourne Cup three years in a row - a feat no other horse in history has done.  The Melbourne Cup is Australia's most coveted championship race - similar to the Breeder's Cup Classic in America.  Overall Makybe Diva raced 36 times, winning 15 and earning a US equivalent of over $10 million.  For more information, check http://www.pedigreequery.com/makybe+diva\n\nIn American racing, one of the best mares of recent years was named Azeri.  She was named US Horse of the Year in 2002, and won the Eclipse Award for Champion Older Mare in 2002, 2003 and 2004.  She retired as the leading money earning mare with more than $4 million bankrolled.  She won 11 consecutive races in 2002-2003 and overall won 11 G-1 races.  Her information can be viewed at http://www.pedigreequery.com/azeri\n\nLast year's Eclipse Award winning mare was named Ashado, who also won the 3yo Eclipse Award in 2004.  Ashado is generally not considered a 'great' mare but she was very consistant and earned over $3 million.  None of the mares currently racing are considered particularly good.  The current Eclipse Award winning filly in training is named Smuggler, she has lost both her starts this season.  The Kentucky Oaks winning filly is named Lemons Forever but her win in that championship race was a very big upset.  The mare mentioned earlier, Gorella, has a great deal of talent and has competed with some success against males but still has much to prove to be considered 'great'.

Who far*ed, there's a race horse with the same name.

Posted: 6/10/2006 9:14:18 PM\n\nBelmont aftermath: How the runners-up fared\n\n\nFollowing are comments from the trainers and jockeys of the 11 horses who finished behind Jazil in the 138th Belmont Stakes (G1) on Saturday at Belmont Race Course.\n\nBluegrass Cat, second; Sunriver, third\n\nTodd Pletcher, trainer: "We had a rough trip with Bluegrass Cat. He lost a lot of ground on the first turn. He never stopped trying. Sunriver had a good trip. He dug in and tried hard. He ran a big race. Fractions were about where I thought they would be. I know sometimes, the strategy on the first turn is to stay out in the middle of the track, but basically, every race has been won on the rail all day. So, it was kind of a strange tactic. If it were anyone besides me, I was rooting for Kiaran [like Pletcher, a former assistant to Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas]. He is one of my best friends, a great person, and I am very, very happy for him. I'm disappointed. There is no consolation in second for me."\n\nJohn Velazquez, jockey of Bluegrass Cat: "This race just goes to show you that it doesn't matter how old you are, if you have the horse and the patience, you can win. It cost me so much going so wide around the first turn. I was right on the other horse's heels, where I couldn't get him inside. I had two horses to think about – Jazil and Steppenwolfer. On the second turn, I dropped in and thought that when the other horses started coming to me, I would go. Jazil came to me much quicker than I thought he would. I was at the three-eighths pole and he was head and head with me. I got after him little by little. He fought the whole way and ran a huge race. "\n\nRafael Bejarano, jockey of Sunriver: "My horse broke good. I put him in good position early and he was comfortable. When I asked my horse, he ran really well, but Jazil had a lot of horse. The pace was okay. I was right behind the leaders. My horse fought hard. I was happy with his effort."\n\n \n\nSteppenwolfer, fourth\n\nDan Peitz, trainer Steppenwolfer: "I'm disappointed and that's all I can tell you. He didn't run the race I expected. When we turned down the backside, we were right where I thought we would be. By the time we got to the half-mile pole, I didn't think we had a horse beat. I didn't understand that at all. He (jockey Robby Albarado) said he had horses in front of him." \n\nRobby Albarado, jockey: "I really liked my horse coming in, especially the way he had been training. He put in his patented run in there, it just wasn't good enough today. Jazil got there a little earlier than expected, since everyone thought he would be flying late. That was the only surprise – how quickly he got up there. I was about where I figured I would be, but they just sprinted out away from me."       \n\n \n\nOh So Awesome, fifth\n\nJimmy Jerkens, trainer: "I don't know what happened to him. He never showed any sign before of breaking through the gate like that."\n\n \n\nHemingway's Key, sixth\n\nNick Zito, trainer Hemingway's Key: "He was following the winner. He had just a little bit of difficulty there. He was moving with the winner. That would have been sweet. He ran sixth. He's a cool horse."\n\nJeremy Rose, jockey: "I was having a good trip. I got stopped a little on the turn. Before that, he was right there with the winner." \n\n \n\nPlatinum Couple, seventh\n\nJose Espinoza, jockey: "He broke really good. We had beautiful position. He made a huge move from the three-eighths pole to the eighth pole, and then he got tired. The winner was much the best and he obviously liked the distance."\n\n \n\nBob and John, eighth\n\nBob Baffert, trainer: "I thought my best chance was to steal the race. I didn't think anyone would want the lead. But that didn't work out. No one was going to let me do that. I told Garrett (Gomez) to le

He had it all...Secretariat.. beauty, heart courage, etc. A perfect combination of blood, flesh and bone. \n\nThe trainer of Secretariat, Lucien Lauren told famous sports broadcaster (thoroughbred racing) Harvey Pack on race day, "if this wasn't the Kentucky Derby, I would scratch Secretariat."\n\nNot only did a sick and not fully functional Secretariat win the Kentucky Derby, but, Secretariat's time of 1:59 2/5, stands 'til this day as the fastest time ever recorded for the Kentucky Derby. And, as we all know, Secretariat went on to win the Triple Crown.

It was a black Arabian Stallion.\nThe had a couple of doubles, but I knew this horse quite well.  It was a beautiful film.\nI enjoyed all of the Walter Farley books.  They were quite wonderful and they are what got me started in breeding Arabians.....smile\nThe Black that was used, his name for real was:  Cass-Ole

I hope it's not too late.  This is very informative.  Maybe it will help.http://www.equineonline.net/uk/equestrian_articles/seabiscuit.htm

Yay for you for knowing about Silky Sullivan first off. He was one of the greatest horses of our time and is often over looked. I couldn't find anything about this filly however. But just from experience on a breeding farm, she was probably used as a broodmare after her racing days were over.
