For a country weighed down by the Great Depression, Seabiscuit was an inspiration. After suffering potentially career-ending injury training for the "Hundred-Grander" at Santa Anita in 1939, the race horse showed his heart and won the elusive event just a year later. This historic image from March 2nd of 1940 shows Seabiscuit as he crossed the finish line at the famous Santa Anita Handicap with jockey Red Pollard astride. Measuring 7 x 11", the vintage news service photo is EX-MT with original caption sheet affixed to verso.
