An amazing find, this "Programme" is from the famed 1938 Match Race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral at Pimlico. Measuring 4x9" and flipping up to open, this virtually Mint copy is staple-bound on top and page 12 - the "Sixth Race" - features the lowdown on the main event of the day. An estimated 40 million people around the globe listened and over 40,000 watched live as 'Biscuit stormed to victory by more than four lengths. The program contains no writing and has been remarkably well-preserved.
