Not only the "drive" to win, but the right people to help make that
happen. I would have to look at the book to "refresh" my memory, but
Seabsicuit was originally sold because his owner (a lady) was having some
bad times and losses on the track. Seabiscuit was raced in some low
rate races and never really did much. He wasn't treated well and
therefore didn't have "the heart" to do well. I am not very good at
names, but when his last trainer saw him, he saw something in him that no
one else saw. A "sparkle" in his eyes I guess. This trainer
was "meticulous" about any type of heat in the legs, the horses
movement, diet, etc. Seabiscuit would sleep for hours at a time, and
I mean "hours"..sometimes up to 12 hours straight. They would fill
his stall with straw up to his belly and he would flop down into it and
sleep. What a character!

imagine that a horse that doesn't fit the "proper" conformation can be
so great. Did anyone ever notice some characteristic that he
had? > >
