00:00This was a young war horse, but no one present could tell, because he was short, only half the size of horses his age, and he loved to sleep more than anything, yet his appetite was twice that of a grown horse, and that was how he got the name Seabiscuit.
00:15So when he was six months old, the ranch owner gave him away to a trainer. But this trainer also thought he was a lazy horse, so he decided to discipline him harshly. Yet the daily beatings did not draw out Seabiscuit's potential. They only buried his talent, until at last he was abandoned, reduced to running alongside others as a sparring horse. Even worse, his jockey would sometimes force him to lose on purpose just to boost the confidence of other racehorses.
00:42By the age of three, Seabiscuit was running in two cheap claiming races every week, suffering endless humiliation, tugging and whipping, and his temper grew as irritable and explosive as his father's. Everyone believed he was hopeless, and in the end he was sold off at the lowest price of $2,000, fit only for slaughter.
01:02As the saying goes, there are many horses of war, but few who recognize them. And this time, fate finally leaned in Seabiscuit's favor.
01:12Because this small and lame horse would rise to the very top of the world's news in 1938, named the number one story above President Roosevelt and even above Hitler.
01:23But this true story actually began 12 years earlier, when a man had gone several days without food, while his son beamed with joy, saying,
01:33I earned $2 for you. In those years of economic collapse, $2 was enough to feed a family of seven for a whole meal, and the father, shocked, asked where the money had come from.
01:44It turned out the boy had found a job at a racetrack, caring for the horses, and he was better at it than most grown men, earning praise from the well-dressed stable owners.
01:53The boy thought with this job, he could finally bring his family enough food to eat.
01:58But when he turned back, he saw his mother weeping uncontrollably, and before he could figure out why, his father handed him his favorite bag of books.
02:06That was when the boy realized his parents had sold him away, and he cried as he hugged his father, begging him to change his mind, but his parents walked away without looking back.
02:16He could not understand why, when he had earned money, he was still abandoned.
02:21In truth, he had once been raised in a wealthy home, with four siblings, living in a grand villa.
02:27From a young age, he had shown extraordinary talent at horseback riding, and his father had even bought him a racehorse of his own.
02:34But fate struck suddenly, as the worst economic crisis in history erupted, and countless people lost their lifetime savings overnight,
02:42millions fleeing westward in search of survival, and among them was the boy's family.
02:49No one expected that in such a desperate time, horse racing would thrive against the odds, and the boy's passion finally had a place to be used.
02:57Yet his meager wages could never support a family of seven, and since his parents cherished him most, maybe sending him away was their only way to keep him alive.
03:05Before leaving, his father told him,
03:07You have a gift for riding. Once we settle down, we'll call you. One day we will meet again.
03:12But from that day on, the boy never heard from his parents again.
03:16Years slipped away, twelve in a flash, and the boy grew more silent and frail.
03:22Because of his bright red hair, people called him Red, while his real name slowly disappeared from memory.
03:29Over the years, he had been fired many times, yet every job he took was still connected to horse racing.
03:34He had no home, only stables to sleep in.
03:38And even under such harsh conditions, he grew taller than the average jockey.
03:42So to chase his dream, he had to make himself vomit to cut weight, just barely qualifying to ride.
03:48Red had talent, but no formal training, so every race ended with him at the bottom,
03:53and even when he once managed to play second, his boss screamed at him and refused to pay him a single cent.
03:59Because he never won, few wanted to hire him.
04:02To survive, he stepped into underground boxing matches, where he was beaten bloody every time,
04:08losing every fight, earning nothing, and spending nights on benches at the train station.
04:13By his early twenties, he had tasted betrayal and abandonment again and again.
04:18But even in this misery, he never sold the books his father left him,
04:22nor would he ever give up his pride to line up for free relief food.
04:26For his racing dream, he humbled himself to beg strangers at the stables for a chance,
04:31and if they refused, he lowered himself further, offering to take the lowest job of walking horses.
04:37Walking horses paid almost nothing, not even enough to eat.
04:41As Red walked the horses, he cursed at them under his breath,
04:44though in truth he was cursing his own broken life.
04:47His moody and unpredictable look happened to be noticed by the trainer Tom nearby.
04:51Tom had once been the finest cowboy of the open plains, a man who loved nature and horses.
04:57But with the birth of the automobile and the rush of modern times,
05:00a man who knew only horses was pushed aside to society's edge.
05:04He had to leave the prairie and work in crowded towns,
05:07but his honest, straightforward nature did not please people.
05:11So he simply lived in seclusion, spending his years in the company of forests.
05:15Until one day, he saw a racehorse about to be shot,
05:19because with a broken leg it was thought impossible to ever run again,
05:23and Tom, unable to watch, bought the horse himself,
05:26treating it with homemade herbs every day.
05:29Man and horse became inseparable, and this act caught the eye of a wealthy man.
05:34Howard, who had recently decided to enter the horse racing business,
05:38had been looking for trainers,
05:39but none of the experts recommended to him felt right,
05:42and it was Tom, the loner, who caught his interest.
05:46He asked why Tom would save a horse that could never run.
05:49Because I can.
05:51Every horse is good for something.
05:53He could be a cart horse or a lead pony.
05:57You don't throw a whole life away just because he's banged up a little.
06:04Hearing his answer, Howard knew Tom was the trainer he needed.
06:07Howard was the living emblem of the American dream in the 1930s,
06:11once a seller of carriages 20 years earlier.
06:14The first time he saw an automobile, he knew it was the future,
06:17that cars would soon replace slow wagons.
06:20So he built a business from nothing,
06:22founding a car company,
06:23and with sharp vision and brilliant business instincts,
06:26he amassed his fortune in only a few years.
06:28He even bought a farm and sold every horse,
06:31just to park his beloved car collection.
06:34But while he was on top of the world,
06:35his six-year-old son, driving a car,
06:39was killed in an accident on Howard's new farm.
06:42His wife, shattered by grief, divorced him.
06:45He knew the blame was his.
06:47He should never have taught a six-year-old to drive,
06:49and he should never have left his child alone at home for the sake of business.
06:53And when he thought of this,
06:54he could no longer hold back his tears.
06:57He sealed up the stables filled with luxury cars.
07:00To help him walk out of the shadows,
07:02a friend brought him to the racetrack for distraction,
07:05but the pain in his heart was not so easy to erase.
07:08Just when his spirit was sinking,
07:10the gentle and beautiful Marcella stepped into his world.
07:13She not only let Howard experience the joy of riding,
07:16but also slowly eased the emptiness inside him.
07:20They soon walked into the hall of marriage,
07:22and from then on he fell in love with the horses abandoned by time,
07:26beginning his new journey in the racing world.
07:28In this way, Howard found Tom.
07:31The next step was to find the right horse and the right jockey.
07:35Tom wandered day after day across the racetracks in search,
07:39until one morning a small, lame horse suddenly caught his eye.
07:42With just one glance, Tom saw the royal bearing in this horse,
07:45and beneath its defiant eyes he saw the spirit of greatness.
07:50Damn.
07:50He immediately urged his boss to buy the horse.
07:55But when Howard saw others buying tall, strong horses
07:57with sleek coats and gentle temperaments,
08:00and then looked at his own,
08:01he couldn't help but ask.
08:03What exactly is it you like?
08:05Hold it up.
08:07You got spirit.
08:09I'll say.
08:12Can he be ridden?
08:15Oh, sure.
08:15So Tom called for an experienced jockey.
08:23But as soon as the jockey got close,
08:25the irritable Seabiscuit drove him back,
08:28and he cursed loudly that he was a mad horse.
08:31Watching this, Tom also felt a headache.
08:34Just then, he saw Red behind him,
08:37still holding his ground while fighting against four opponents.
08:40Even more dramatic,
08:41one who was supposed to be small had grown tall,
08:43while the other who should have been tall was born small.
08:46Were they not two unyielding souls alike?
08:49At Red's very first meeting,
08:51Seabiscuit reared up and screamed,
08:53unwilling to welcome this intruder.
08:55But Red understood him.
08:58I know what you're all about.
09:03Hungry?
09:05Perhaps only those who had been through storms
09:07could feel the same,
09:08and with just half an apple,
09:10Red calmed his fury.
09:11But their first collaboration was not smooth.
09:14On a straight track,
09:15Seabiscuit ran as if twisting through mountain roads.
09:18It turned out Seabiscuit had been trained from childhood to run in circles,
09:21and years of beatings had left him with a painful reflex to the whip.
09:25Tom instantly saw he had been trained only as a sparring horse,
09:29his natural instincts forgotten.
09:31To awaken Seabiscuit's racing spirit,
09:33he led him into a grove and told Red to let him run free.
09:36And so they galloped wildly among the trees.
09:39With Red's constant encouragement,
09:41Seabiscuit ran faster and faster,
09:42charging through muddy paths,
09:44crossing a bridge covered in maple leaves like a gust of wind,
09:47and the soul imprisoned for years was finally set free.
09:51Red shouted excitedly because he knew the horse carrying him was no ordinary one,
09:55but a true war horse.
09:57Thus three men who had failed in life,
09:59together with a horse no one believed in,
10:01formed a legend that would inspire millions.
10:03When they arrived at Howard's grand villa,
10:06it was the first time in more than a decade,
10:08Red sat at a table to eat,
10:10with delicious food laid out before him.
10:12But to keep his weight,
10:13he dared eat only a little.
10:15Seeing this,
10:16Howard spoke.
10:18It's okay.
10:20I'd rather have you as strong than thin.
10:22Red's eyes instantly welled up.
10:24For the first time in years,
10:26he felt a long lost warmth.
10:28Later,
10:29Howard even prepared soft beds for them.
10:31But that night,
10:32one lay in the stable reading,
10:34and another under a tree in thought,
10:36perhaps each was saying goodbye to his former self.
10:39The next day,
10:40dusty cars were cleared out,
10:41and the stable returned to its original purpose.
10:44Yet Seabiscuit's fiery nature remained the same.
10:47He neighed constantly in the stable.
10:49To calm him,
10:50Tom carried in a little sheep,
10:52but this was the result.
10:53Seeing that sheep was useless,
10:58Tom brought in a beautiful mare,
11:00closed the gate tight,
11:02and when Marcella walked by,
11:03Tom smiled,
11:04and Marcella saw a scene of gentle healing.
11:11Then came formal training,
11:13and unlike Seabiscuit's old trainers,
11:15Tom told Red not to overuse the whip,
11:17and to let him run free in the last stretch of the race.
11:20But on the track,
11:21no matter how Red urged,
11:23Seabiscuit would not speed up,
11:25until he saw an opponent ahead.
11:27Then Seabiscuit shot forward like an arrow from the bow,
11:29determined to overtake.
11:31In the stands,
11:32Tom and Howard and his wife were left speechless in shock.
11:35Even more astonishing,
11:36Seabiscuit's very first time on track
11:38broke the course record.
11:41Filled with confidence,
11:42they prepared for their first official race,
11:44and Howard and his wife personally chose Red's racing clothes.
11:48Tom repeated the strategy again and again,
11:50stay close to the champion favorite's right side,
11:53and in the final sprint,
11:55release Seabiscuit.
11:57Let him run free.
11:58Red nodded again and again.
12:00But after the race began,
12:02another rider cut him off,
12:03and Red's fiery temper exploded.
12:06He lashed the whip wildly and fought to catch up,
12:08completely forgetting Tom's advice.
12:10They jostled all the way to the final stretch,
12:13but Seabiscuit lacked the stamina
12:15and was overtaken by one horse after another,
12:17finishing second to last.
12:19When Tom and Howard came to question him,
12:21he was still burning with rage.
12:24An eye for an eye.
12:25That was the survival code he had learned in underground fighting.
12:29But his anger came from deeper inside.
12:31Late at night,
12:32when Red almost threw away his father's bag of books,
12:35I finally understood.
12:37His real fury was from the scars of childhood,
12:40the sting of his father's abandonment
12:41and the endless humiliation from strangers.
12:44But, in his mind,
12:46his father's words,
12:47you have a gift,
12:49finally cooled him down.
12:50The next day, ashamed,
12:52he went to Howard,
12:53stammering as he asked to borrow ten dollars,
12:55promising to repay with his wages.
12:57Testing of Howard still wanted to keep him,
12:59for he had been abandoned too many times.
13:02Unexpectedly,
13:03Howard smiled and gave him twenty.
13:05Red's eyes brimmed with tears,
13:07choked with emotion.
13:08For the first time in years,
13:09he felt the warmth of being chosen even after failure.
13:12That warmth turned into strength,
13:14and Red poured it into the next race,
13:16this time no longer reckless,
13:18but keeping the plan,
13:20staying right behind his opponent.
13:22His focus gave Seabiscuit strength,
13:24and when they entered the final sprint,
13:26Red let go.
13:27In that instant,
13:29Seabiscuit shot forward like an arrow,
13:32his speed breathtaking,
13:33overtaking one opponent after another.
13:36First half a length,
13:37then a whole length.
13:39After so many years,
13:40Red and Seabiscuit finally proved themselves,
13:43raising their arms in triumph
13:44as applause roared.
13:46From then on,
13:47they were unstoppable,
13:48winning ten races in a row
13:49with no rivals left in the American West.
13:52Howard saw the opportunity.
13:54Bringing Seabiscuit on a national tour.
13:56In those years of economic hardship,
13:58the triumph of a small horse and a tall jockey
14:00gave strength to countless struggling poor.
14:04Everywhere they went,
14:05there were flowers and applause,
14:07and Seabiscuit's hoofprints even became autographs,
14:09sold as souvenirs.
14:11After Tom returned,
14:12he looked angrily and helplessly at the chaotic stable.
14:15He told Howard that Seabiscuit was a war horse,
14:18not a pet for display.
14:20And if there wasn't enough time for training,
14:21he would eventually fall to the bottom.
14:24What's more,
14:25Seabiscuit had never faced a truly strong opponent,
14:28and as Tom spoke,
14:29he pulled out a newspaper,
14:31and Howard frowned as soon as he saw it.
14:33It was about a champion horse named War Admiral,
14:36the King of the East,
14:37who had won the Triple Crown.
14:40He stood 1.8 meters tall
14:41with a shining coat and pure bloodline,
14:43and he was undefeated,
14:45praised by the media
14:46as the most perfect racehorse.
14:48Howard finally realized the truth,
14:50that comfort and ease were temporary,
14:53and only reaching the peak
14:54would bring eternal glory.
14:56The next day,
14:56he decided to let Seabiscuit challenge War Admiral.
14:59Once the challenge was announced,
15:01the whole country was shaken,
15:02for this was not only a contest between two horses,
15:05but also a battle of honor
15:07between East and West
15:08with long-standing prejudice.
15:10But,
15:10when interviewed by reporters,
15:12War Admiral's owner,
15:13Riddle sneered and said,
15:16War Admiral is the most perfect racehorse,
15:19and a rookie chasing fame dares to challenge.
15:21His words were filled with contempt.
15:23The three of them,
15:24huddled around the radio,
15:25burned with anger.
15:27How could such an insult be endured?
15:29Howard decided to use money as bait,
15:31putting up the highest prize purse in history,
15:33a full $100,000.
15:36As soon as the news spread,
15:37all the famous horses of the East were drawn in,
15:40but Riddle remained unmoved.
15:41For Riddle was already one of the wealthiest
15:43men,
15:44and $100,000 meant little to him.
15:47In the end,
15:48the race was still held,
15:49and Riddle could have easily taken the championship.
15:52But in the final sprint,
15:54an opponent suddenly charged from the right rear,
15:56and Riddle acted as if nothing had happened.
15:58By the time he reacted,
16:00it was too late,
16:02and he lost by just a nose.
16:04When Tom questioned him,
16:05Riddle shouted in frustration,
16:07I can't see on the right.
16:09Only then did Tom learn the truth,
16:11that back in the days of underground fighting,
16:14Riddle's right eye had been blinded.
16:16He was furious,
16:18thinking a writer who had lied and lost vision in one eye
16:20was unfit to be a jockey.
16:21He didn't throw a whole life away,
16:25because it's banged up a little bit.
16:28But when Howard heard,
16:30he wasn't angry at all.
16:31Instead,
16:32he repeated Tom's own words back to him.
16:35However,
16:35when Howard saw newspapers insulting Redd as a blind jockey,
16:39he immediately held a press conference and declared,
16:42First,
16:42Redd will always be Seabiscuit's jockey.
16:45Second,
16:46since War Admiral dares not come,
16:48then,
16:48we will strike first,
16:50and win every race he has ever entered,
16:52until the two of them face each other.
16:54And so,
16:55three men and one horse set out on a new journey,
16:57and each time they passed through a city,
16:59Howard delivered passionate speeches.
17:02In an age filled with unemployment,
17:03Redd and Seabiscuit,
17:05who had endured so many defeats,
17:06became the role models
17:07and the spirit people most needed.
17:09With public emotion boiling over,
17:11this seemed less like a duel of horses,
17:14and more like a battle between common people and privilege,
17:17between the individual and fate.
17:19At last,
17:20under heavy public pressure,
17:22Riddle was forced to accept the challenge.
17:24But he demanded that it be held at his own racetrack,
17:27and since War Admiral disliked starting gates,
17:30the race would begin with a bell,
17:31and Howard agreed without hesitation.
17:34The date was set for two weeks later.
17:36At first,
17:37they thought War Admiral had only been mythologized by the media,
17:40but when they secretly watched his training,
17:43their jaws dropped.
17:46Wow.
17:47War Admiral's speed was like lightning,
17:50and if they still used the strategy of trailing behind and then sprinting,
17:54Seabiscuit was doomed to lose.
17:56Because once War Admiral took the lead,
17:58no horse on earth could catch up.
18:00So if they wanted to win,
18:02they had to change their approach.
18:03To get Seabiscuit used to the starting bell,
18:06they moved the training to nighttime,
18:08and at the sound of the bell,
18:09they cracked the whip,
18:10letting him gradually form a conditioned reflex.
18:13Within days,
18:14Seabiscuit could already run at full speed in the darkness without distraction.
18:19Though Red could not see clearly,
18:21he trusted completely in Seabiscuit's night vision,
18:24letting him carry him freely through the dark.
18:26Two weeks passed quickly,
18:28and Seabiscuit's strength had risen to a new level.
18:30But at this moment,
18:32Red encountered his first employer,
18:34who after business failure,
18:36now had only one not-so-good horse left.
18:38He hoped Red could ride his horse for a lap,
18:41so that buyers might see it and pay a higher price.
18:44Before the man even finished speaking,
18:46Red agreed,
18:47for he still felt indebted to him.
18:49But during the run,
18:51a tractor backfired and startled the horse,
18:53and Red was thrown heavily to the ground.
18:55In the chaos,
18:56he failed to free his foot from the stirrup,
18:58and was dragged for dozens of meters.
19:05Though his life was barely saved,
19:07the bones in his right leg were shattered,
19:09and even if healed,
19:10he would be crippled for life,
19:11let alone ride again.
19:12Howard had no choice but to cancel the race.
19:15But Red was the first to disagree,
19:17because this was Seabiscuit's honor,
19:19and after much thought,
19:20he proposed that his best friend George ride him in his place,
19:23for George, too, was a top jockey.
19:25On the hospital bed,
19:26Red told George all of Tom's strategies
19:28and the skills of handling Seabiscuit.
19:30They talked from day into night,
19:32and in truth,
19:33he was not only passing on techniques,
19:36but more importantly,
19:37teaching his friend how to love Seabiscuit.
19:41Finally, Red asked George to close the door,
19:43because what he was about to say
19:45was Seabiscuit's ultimate secret to victory.
19:48When the race begins,
19:49you must let Seabiscuit take the lead,
19:51but in the final corner sprint,
19:52you must slow down
19:54and let the opponent catch up.
19:57George was stunned.
19:58Why would I do that?
20:00He fights for it, Georgie.
20:01If you bring him head to head with that other horse,
20:04and he looks him in the eye,
20:06there's no way he loses that race.
20:10You just hold him through that final turn
20:12and let him get a good look at the Admiral.
20:15Then let him go.
20:17It's not in his feet, Georgie.
20:19At last, the much-anticipated race day arrived,
20:23and as the sun rose,
20:24the racetrack was already packed with people,
20:26with cars lined up for 15 streets.
20:29While waiting for the start,
20:30the crowd had already eaten 60,000 hot dogs,
20:332,000 barrels of beer,
20:34and 4,000 tons of cola.
20:36Factories across the country even closed for half a day
20:39so employees could listen to the live broadcast.
20:41That day, more than 40 million Americans tuned into the race.
20:45Seabiscuit's odds were 2 to 1,
20:47not favored by capital,
20:49but when he stepped onto the track,
20:51the crowd erupted in cheers,
20:53because he was the warhorse
20:54in the hearts of the ordinary people.
20:57At the sound of the starting bell,
20:58Seabiscuit leapt forward exactly as he had in training,
21:01instantly taking the lead.
21:02As he thundered across the field,
21:04the crowd surged with him,
21:05their hearts tied to Seabiscuit's every stride.
21:08Soon they reached the final corner before the sprint,
21:11and Seabiscuit was ahead by two full lengths,
21:13holding absolute advantage.
21:16But outside the track,
21:17three men whispered over and over,
21:19slow down, slow down, slow down.
21:22You must understand,
21:24not everyone in this world is willing to give up a lead
21:26and trust in something as intangible as a fighter's soul.
21:29But George proved worthy of Red's trust.
21:32He gradually tightened the reins.
21:34As Seabiscuit slowed,
21:35War Admiral closed in,
21:37and soon the two horses were neck and neck.
21:39The moment Seabiscuit locked eyes with his opponent,
21:43he felt an immense pressure,
21:44but it also ignited the warrior spirit deep within.
21:47It's nowhere enough!
21:48It's nowhere enough!
21:51So long, Charlie!
21:55When Seabiscuit crossed the finish line,
22:16the crowd exploded and cheers echoed across the skies of America
22:20as War Admiral's undefeated legend was shattered.
22:23No one had expected that a naturally small, lame horse
22:27would defeat the perfect War Admiral by four lengths,
22:30and it was not only a warrior's victory, but the victory of the working people.
22:35Elsewhere, Red heard the news and cheered as well, but soon he fell into silence.
22:41Even though he had prepared himself to say farewell to racing,
22:45when the moment came, it was still hard to accept.
22:49In the end, Howard sent Red to the estate to recover,
22:52while George continued to race with Seabiscuit,
22:55until one accident brought their fates together again.
22:58In a fierce race, Seabiscuit tore all the ligaments in his front leg,
23:01and doctors declared he would never return to the track,
23:04saying the most effective way to end his pain was euthanasia.
23:07Hearing this, Howard glared at the doctor.
23:10And so, a lame jockey and a lame horse met again in the place where they had first crossed paths.
23:17In the days that followed, Red went to the stable daily to apply medicine and massage Seabiscuit.
23:23When the injury eased, he led him to the woods for walks, and they lay together on the grass reading books.
23:29Months later, a gentle breeze passed, and suddenly Seabiscuit began to trot.
23:34Seeing this, Red took out the long hidden tack, braced his injured leg with a stick,
23:39and with the help of servants, they slowly returned to the track to relive their battles of old.
23:44Another six months passed, and when a flock of birds startled Seabiscuit,
23:48he ran far, stronger than before, and as they circled the great trees,
23:52they ran more and more freely, as if today's running foretold tomorrow's return.
23:58That night, Red suddenly ate less than usual, and Howard immediately sensed his thoughts,
24:03but said nothing, and instead secretly brought Seabiscuit to the track to test him.
24:08To their surprise, he had completely recovered.
24:11Radio reporters saw it too, and soon the news of Seabiscuit's return spread everywhere.
24:16When they went to register, Seabiscuit became restless, because Red had arrived.
24:21After patting Seabiscuit, Red walked straight to the registration office.
24:25This time, they would fight side by side.
24:28Howard stopped him, but Red was determined, willing to risk permanent injury rather than abandon his dream.
24:34This troubled Howard deeply, and he sought advice everywhere, asking doctors, Tom, and even his wife.
24:42For over the years, he had come to see Red as a son, and he feared losing him forever.
24:48Until George finally told Howard,
24:51It's better to break a man's leg than his heart.
24:53And so, Red once again returned to the racetrack.
24:56When the crowd saw them, thunderous cheers erupted, for no matter the result, seeing them rise again was already the greatest miracle.
25:03When the race began, waves of pain tore at Red's nerves, leaving him no time to think about strategy,
25:08and Seabiscuit also struggled under the siege of the pack.
25:12You must know, at seven years old, he was no longer in his prime, and soon they were left behind, struggling like a trapped beast, and the hearts of everyone in the stands tightened.
25:23Age and injury are the greatest enemies in sport, and worse still, both horse and rider had suffered grave wounds.
25:29But at that moment, George, who was leading, suddenly slowed and came to Seabiscuit's side.
25:35For having once fought alongside Seabiscuit, he knew what he needed most, an equal opponent to awaken his fighting spirit.
25:42Defeat, hardship, injury, age.
25:45These thieves of fate tried to stop him, but when his warrior spirit was rekindled, the red flash on the racetrack returned.
25:52This film is adapted from true history, and in reality, Seabiscuit not only overcame his injuries,
25:58but also ran the best time in Santa Anita handicap history, the second best in American racing history, and broke a world record.
26:07In the Great Depression of 1938, Seabiscuit's miracle became the strength that pulled countless Americans from despair,
26:16giving them courage to rise again, and soon the economy began to recover.
26:21It is no exaggeration to say that Seabiscuit changed not only his own fate, and his owner's fate, but also inspired an entire nation.
26:29And that unyielding spirit is what every one of us needs, for only with it can we travel further on the road of life.
26:35Transfer the
26:55And that unyielding spirit with nothing but everything.
26:57But still lies with us!
26:59Passing this to anyone.
