This enormous scrapbook assortment of photo copies and facsimile reproductions feature more than 100 images of Seabiscuit and his racing connections of jockey Red Pollard, trainer Tom Smith, and owner Charles Howard. From racing images to Seabiscuit's retirement at Ridgewood Ranch, and the many magical moments in between, this visual gathering is a wonderful tribute to the racing champion who inspired hope and affection from a beleaguered nation during the Great Depression. As an added bonus, the grouping also contains a limited-edition commemorative ceramic plate produced by Bay Meadows Racecourse and also the well-regarded soft-cover book Seabiscuit: The Rest of the Story by the recently deceased William Nichols. This fascinating read furthers the Seabiscuit story and the lives of those connected to him -- a must-read for anyone captivated by this American racing legend.
