Seabiscuit

en
00:01:28 They called it the car for Everyman.
00:01:32 Henry Ford himself called it
00:01:38 It was functional and simple,
00:01:45 You could learn to drive it
00:01:49 and you could get any color
00:01:56 When Ford first conceived the Model T,
00:02:03 Within five years, he was
00:02:10 Of course, the real invention wasn't the car,
00:02:17 Pretty soon, other businesses
00:02:21 Seamstresses became button sewers.
00:02:25 Furniture makers
00:02:28 It was the beginning and the end
00:02:32 all at the same time.
00:02:47 Howard?
00:02:51 - Charles, I'm talking to you.
00:02:54 They need spokes,
00:02:58 Yeah? Then what
00:04:27 It was a land of opportunity.
00:04:31 The country was shrinking,
00:04:36 for any man with drive
00:04:40 If your dream was big enough
00:04:44 there was truly a fortune
00:04:56 How are you, sir?
00:05:45 Damn thing blew on me.
00:05:48 It's a Stanley Steamer.
00:05:52 - Oh?
00:05:56 Uh...
00:06:00 Sure. Sure, I can fix it.
00:06:39 This is an amazing machine.
00:06:41 It's got a two-stroke boiler system...
00:06:44 that's heated
00:06:47 I mean, it's...
00:06:52 Thank you.
00:06:54 It wasn't your boiler that was blowing;
00:06:57 So, with increased pressure,
00:07:01 Really?
00:07:06 Fifty, maybe 60 miles an hour.
00:07:08 Easily. And the thing
00:07:13 you don't stable it, and unless
00:07:18 - That's funny.
00:07:22 I wouldn't spend more than five dollars
00:08:09 This is not the finish line, my friends.
00:08:13 The future is the finish line!
00:08:18 Four in-line cylinders,
00:08:22 - Wonderful.
00:08:28 - "The age of the automobile is here,"
00:08:39 Oh, my.
00:08:41 - Oh, I'm kind of
00:08:45 Come here, big guy.
00:08:48 Oh, are you the future, huh?
00:08:52 Are you gonna...
00:08:55 Are you going to the moon?
00:08:58 The moon! Whee!
00:09:03 - I'll take it.
00:09:06 Do we really
00:09:10 There's also a caretaker's house,
00:09:15 How big are the stables?
00:09:51 - Got it.
00:09:53 - Settle down. Settle down.
00:09:56 Quit. Quit. Whoa. Whoa.
00:10:00 - Whoa.
00:10:04 Whoa.
00:10:32 Come on, Dad.
00:10:37 Whoa.
00:10:50 There you go.
00:11:00 You're not getting him a horse.
00:11:03 Why not?
00:11:06 Because he's 16 years old.
00:11:10 So... he should earn it.
00:11:15 All right.
00:11:20 - All... All right. Quiet.
00:11:23 Nobody knows Longfellow.
00:11:26 Ooh!
00:11:30 "We never know how high we are..."
00:11:35 Oh, I know that.
00:11:37 I know it.
00:11:42 "We never know
00:11:47 - Good.
00:11:49 "And then, if we are true to plan,
00:11:52 - Excellent.
00:12:00 Uh-oh.
00:12:04 - "The heroism..."
00:12:07 Right. "The heroism..."
00:12:10 "The heroism we recite...
00:12:13 "would be a daily thing,
00:12:16 That's it.
00:12:21 for fear to be a king. "
00:12:30 You should be riding it.
00:12:34 Yeah. But he
00:12:40 Yeah. He does.
00:12:43 That's the poetry
00:12:47 That's the poetry.
00:12:51 Thank you. Thank you for coming.
00:12:54 I came here 15 years ago
00:12:57 I know a lot of us at the table
00:13:00 And, you know,
00:13:03 that if we can start out there
00:13:09 Hmm? So, as corny as it sounds,
00:13:15 Because out here, my friends,
00:13:20 To the future!
00:13:22 To the future.!
00:13:47 There were no suicides
00:13:52 It was a myth
00:13:58 The real effect of October 29
00:14:06 By noon, all the gains
00:14:11 By 4:00 p.m., nearly $ 10 billion
00:14:20 Over the next two weeks,
00:14:26 And before long,
00:14:37 A great national migration began.
00:14:40 Displaced families
00:14:44 in the last possession
00:14:48 Their automobile.
00:14:52 And all at once,
00:14:56 had a new definition of home.
00:15:25 I made two dollars today.
00:15:28 - What?
00:15:33 Here.
00:15:40 Where did you get these?
00:15:47 Yeah, your boy combed 'em out,
00:15:54 - Hey, Red,
00:15:57 Where'd a young fella
00:16:00 His name's Johnny.
00:16:03 You can call me Red.
00:16:08 Whoo!
00:16:17 Yeah! Whoo! Yeah!
00:16:54 What's wrong?
00:17:05 What's that?
00:17:09 Dickens, Wordsworth.
00:17:11 There's your Arabian Nights
00:17:17 Why? What's wrong?
00:17:20 Mr. Blodget here,
00:17:24 - And his wife cooks.
00:17:27 No. No. Shh. Dad. Shh.
00:17:30 Every couple of weeks, we'll call you,
00:17:33 We're just gonna go home,
00:17:36 You have a gift.
00:17:41 Don't... Don't do this.
00:17:45 Dad, don't do this.
00:17:59 Go on. Go with Mr. Blodget.
00:18:02 He's gonna take care of you, sweetie.
00:18:31 I don't know. You still
00:18:35 I've never been over 115.
00:18:38 Where'd you learn
00:18:42 All right.
00:18:46 I pay you $10 a week to ride.
00:18:49 six dollars to sleep in the stalls,
00:18:52 That's the deal.
00:18:56 You win.
00:18:58 Ow.!
00:19:04 You son of a bitch.!
00:19:28 Yah!
00:19:33 Get lost!
00:19:52 Get off of me!
00:20:02 Get off of me!
00:20:13 A nose?
00:20:17 Here. Muck these stalls down,
00:20:22 A nose!
00:20:32 No. No, Bill.
00:20:35 Well, it can't
00:20:38 Look, if it stays like this,
00:20:42 Bill, we'll be fine, really.
00:20:47 All right. I'll see you in town.
00:20:58 Frankie, come on.
00:21:02 - Why don't... Why don't you
00:21:06 You can read when it's raining.
00:21:11 You already taught me
00:21:15 - Well, what are you reading?
00:21:18 -
00:21:30 We'll be in San Francisco
00:22:51 Yeah? What?
00:25:09 Come inside.
00:25:13 Sam can do that.
00:25:15 I don't want Sam to do it.
00:25:21 - Annie.
00:25:32 Ma'am.
00:26:28 Come on, Red!
00:27:20 At a time when the world
00:27:23 you couldn't get one
00:27:28 Liquor was illegal.
00:27:31 and there's just so much
00:27:36 Soon, the border town was born,
00:27:39 providing everything to the south
00:27:45 You could find anything:
00:27:51 decent gin,
00:27:56 - the chance
00:28:05 Relax! You got it!
00:28:09 Go!
00:28:11 That jockey was ridin'
00:28:15 I'm gonna bet
00:28:24 Who's that?
00:28:26 George Woolf,
00:28:41 That's Charles Howard?
00:28:45 I thought
00:28:48 - Why?
00:28:54 Nothing quick about that.
00:29:17 It was in the palace
00:29:21 Sultan of where?
00:29:25 I'd been living there
00:29:30 and finishing my personal history
00:29:34 Then one day, the sultan
00:29:40 He looks at me and says,
00:29:43 - "John Pollard..."
00:29:47 It is you I have chosen
00:29:53 200-mile.
00:29:57 All right. 200-mile.
00:30:03 - You didn't need to wreck it, Georgie.
00:30:07 Yeah, well,
00:30:11 Just ask your friend Wanda
00:30:14 You know, if you start ridin'
00:30:18 - I got two bucks says
00:30:21 but I got five says I beat you.
00:30:28 - Give me odds.
00:30:32 - Nah! Forget it! Two-to-one!
00:30:35 You got it. Hey, Johnny.
00:30:39 I like the conversation,
00:30:43 You goin' tonight?
00:30:45 Nah.
00:30:48 I don't know. 8:00?
00:30:51 Oops. There's my hole!
00:31:00 Goddamn it!
00:31:10 - Whoa!
00:31:14 - We got him.!
00:31:17 - I'll take him.
00:31:21 - I said, I'll take him.
00:31:26 If you're gonna shoot him anyway,
00:31:31 - Whoa.
00:31:35 Let him go. Hey.
00:31:51 Now, bud.
00:31:59 Yeah, boy.
00:32:45 Okeydoke, Johnny.
00:32:53 Yeah.! Yeah.! Yeah.! Yeah.!
00:33:03 There once was a princess
00:33:06 who was sitting here
00:33:10 I wined her and dined her,
00:33:19 Ah, shit.
00:33:25 That's great.
00:33:28 Pretty obvious, huh?
00:33:32 - That's beautiful.
00:33:37 Don't say that.
00:33:43 So, you wanna... you know...
00:33:48 get going?
00:33:52 Sure. Why not?
00:34:12 - How do you miss a hole like that?
00:34:17 Are you blind?
00:34:25 ngel, are you okay?
00:34:31 Ol!
00:34:35 Ol!
00:35:04 You don't wanna watch?
00:35:08 No. Not really.
00:35:12 I don't either.
00:35:17 Ol!
00:35:23 So, what? They brought you
00:35:29 Yes. Sort of.
00:35:32 Those guys, they think
00:35:38 I'm sorry. Who are you?
00:35:41 Oh. Marcela Zabala.
00:35:48 My sister, Isabella,
00:35:53 Nice to meet you. Charles.
00:36:10 So, do you feel better?
00:36:18 No. No, not really.
00:36:24 No. How could you?
00:36:28 With something like that.
00:37:03 Come on, buddy. Wake up.
00:37:07 Come on.
00:37:20 - Did I lose?
00:37:27 Easy.
00:37:30 Easy, easy.
00:37:33 Come on. Let me
00:37:35 Go win yourself a race or something.
00:37:39 I'm fine, George.
00:37:46 Leave me alone,
00:37:54 It's been 20 years
00:37:59 It's the kind of thing
00:38:22 Let's go.
00:38:31 Come on!
00:39:16 What? She got you back up on a horse,
00:39:19 Yeah. Maybe. Maybe a couple.
00:39:23 I wanna win.
00:39:27 Well, you're gonna
00:39:29 No. You need two.
00:39:37 Randy Thatcher's barn.
00:39:41 Good fella too.
00:39:46 Now, now. I don't know.
00:39:50 Who's that?
00:39:54 Oh, he's a crackpot.
00:39:59 What's he do?
00:40:01 I don't know. He used
00:40:09 Come on.
00:40:29 - Howdy.
00:40:37 Wh... You hungry?
00:40:41 I'm fine.
00:40:44 Tom... Smith.
00:40:50 What's... What's in his bandage?
00:40:55 Oh, that's hawthorn root.
00:41:01 You wanna sit down?
00:41:05 Oh. All right.
00:41:12 Will he get better?
00:41:15 Already is... a little.
00:41:18 Will he race?
00:41:23 No. Not that one.
00:41:28 So why are you fixing him?
00:41:31 'Cause I can.
00:41:37 Every horse
00:41:41 He could be a cart horse
00:41:45 And he's still nice to look at.
00:41:48 You know, you don't
00:41:53 just 'cause
00:42:09 Is that coffee?
00:42:12 Yeah.
00:42:18 It's bad, though.
00:42:22 You always tell the truth?
00:42:25 Well, I try to.
00:42:43 It ain't just the speed.
00:42:48 You want something
00:42:52 Half these horses
00:42:55 You want something
00:43:00 How do you find that?
00:43:04 Look, I won the Robles Handicap.
00:43:07 I won the Manzanita Oaks.
00:43:11 I know.
00:43:14 - Sounds great. We'll let ya know.
00:43:20 Or even hot-walk 'em
00:43:25 Really? You'll hot-walk 'em?
00:43:29 This is somethin' else.
00:43:32 A dream come true,
00:43:35 Hook you up to a plow,
00:43:39 You ever run in the money?
00:43:44 Hey. Hey.
00:43:47 I don't think so. Couldn't beat
00:43:51 You goddamn sack-of-crap
00:43:56 Probably the fastest
00:44:00 - That's right.
00:44:22 The first time
00:44:28 Smith would say later that the horse
00:44:32 as if to say,
00:44:36 - Who do you think you are?"
00:44:41 He was a small horse,
00:44:44 He was hurting too.
00:44:48 a wheezing when he breathed.
00:44:52 Smith didn't pay attention
00:44:55 He was looking the horse
00:44:59 God... damn.
00:45:09 He was the son of Hard Tack,
00:45:14 But the breeding did little
00:45:18 Get rid of him.
00:45:25 At six months,
00:45:30 who, over time,
00:45:34 Is that a racehorse
00:45:39 The judgment wasn't helped
00:45:42 Where his sire had been a fierce,
00:45:47 Seabiscuit took to sleeping
00:45:50 and enjoyed lolling for hours
00:45:55 His other great talent was eating.
00:45:59 Though half the size of other colts,
00:46:05 Fitzsimmons decided
00:46:08 and felt sure he could train
00:46:12 I want you to hit him
00:46:17 When he didn't improve,
00:46:23 They made him a training partner
00:46:25 forcing him to lose
00:46:28 to boost the confidence
00:46:32 By the time
00:46:34 Seabiscuit was struggling
00:46:39 Soon he grew as bitter and angry
00:46:45 He was sold
00:46:53 And, of course,
00:46:56 Champions were large,
00:46:59 they were without imperfection.
00:47:03 When they finally did race him,
00:47:07 He lost.
00:47:11 What exactly
00:47:13 He's got spirit.
00:47:16 I'll say.
00:47:20 Can... Can he be ridden?
00:47:27 Eventually.
00:47:31 He can be
00:47:35 No. Really.
00:47:37 I'm fine.
00:47:48 Jesus Christ!
00:48:09 Come on.!
00:48:12 Let's go.! Come on,
00:48:26 Let's go.!
00:48:30 Let's go! Come on,
00:48:32 I'll take all of you!
00:48:59 It's okay.
00:49:04 - I'm not afraid of you.
00:49:07 Sure. I know.
00:49:11 I know what
00:49:22 You hungry?
00:49:26 Huh?
00:49:31 Yeah. Bet you are.
00:49:35 Huh? Come on.
00:49:38 Come on, boy.
00:49:50 Yeah.
00:49:56 Why don't you just
00:49:59 Give the folks a look.
00:50:03 Red Pollard,
00:50:07 Hello.
00:50:11 Well, we'll just
00:50:18 Does he breeze?
00:50:21 Well, we'll find out.
00:50:42 Seems pretty fast.
00:50:44 In every direction.
00:50:48 Hell, he's so beat up,
00:50:52 I just can't help feelin'
00:50:55 so screwed up
00:50:57 he's forgotten
00:51:02 He just needs to learn
00:51:07 Well, how do
00:51:17 How far do you
00:51:23 Okay.
00:51:26 That seems like
00:51:29 Hope so.
00:51:50 That's it, boy.
00:51:52 You're all right.
00:51:54 Let's see what you got, boy.
00:51:57 Ha! Ha! Whoo!
00:52:00 That's it, boy. That's it!
00:52:09 Yeah!
00:52:18 Whoo!
00:52:24 Whoo-hoo!
00:52:35 Well, at least
00:52:41 Whoo!
00:52:49 Goddamn it!
00:52:56 Whoo!
00:53:19 You can
00:53:21 I'm fine. Thank you.
00:53:26 No, really, I'm fine.
00:53:29 Okay.
00:53:44 Welcome.
00:54:00 Thank you.
00:54:14 It's okay.
00:54:17 Oh, I'm not that hungry.
00:54:19 Mmm. Sure you're not.
00:54:23 It's just a lot of food.
00:54:30 It's okay.
00:54:33 Rather have you strong than thin.
00:54:59 They called it "relief,"
00:55:01 but it was
00:55:03 It had dozens of names:
00:55:05 N.R.A., W.P.A.,
00:55:08 the C.C.C.
00:55:10 But it really came down
00:55:15 For the first time
00:55:18 someone cared.
00:55:21 For the first time
00:55:25 you were no longer alone.
00:57:11 Goat racing?
00:57:14 Oh, no. Just trying
00:57:18 Smart ones
00:57:21 Oh.
00:57:24 it just...
00:58:06 Pretty quiet in there.
00:58:08 What'd you do?
00:58:11 Go take a look.
00:58:21 Oh.
00:58:24 # Rock of ages, cleft for me #
00:58:29 # I am hid and safe in thee #
00:58:35 # For the water
00:58:40 # From thy riven...#
00:58:42 Okay. You don't
00:58:44 but we gotta see
00:58:47 You take him
00:58:50 and turn him loose.
00:58:53 Turn him loose?
00:58:56 He's a racehorse.
00:59:02 Ha! Ha!
00:59:11 Come on!
00:59:13 Ha! Come on!
00:59:22 How's he look?
00:59:24 Asleep.
00:59:27 Come on!
00:59:41 Whoo! There it is! Yeah!
00:59:44 Oh, my.
00:59:58 Yeah, you and me! Let's go!
01:00:01 Whoo! Whoo-hoo!
01:00:14 - Boy. Fast?
01:00:16 How fast?
01:00:19 Your horse just broke
01:00:28 Sometimes they...
01:00:30 hanker for a little competition.
01:00:40 As long as we're talkin' long shots,
01:00:43 We got a horse
01:00:46 and that's a short price, my friends.
01:00:48 This horse couldn't win
01:00:51 Yeah, talk about
01:00:53 This is the skunk
01:00:55 Yes, he's the surprise

01:01:40 Okay.
01:01:44 he'll do most of the work.
01:01:46 But don't move
01:01:48 What if it's late?
01:01:50 - Let's go.
01:01:53 Twelve minutes to post.
01:01:56 I don't think
01:01:58 Honestly.
01:02:28 - Come on in.

01:02:47 Starter's poised. The flag is up.
01:02:49 - And there they go.
01:02:53 Pirate's Gold breaks first,
01:02:57 Silver Treasure is third,
01:03:12 They're coming by
01:03:15 It's Pirate's Gold, Geronimo,
01:03:24 Whoa!
01:03:26 Son of a bitch!
01:03:31 Piece of shit bastard!
01:03:36 What the hell is he doing?
01:03:38 ...opening up a 3...
01:03:41 - Let's go!
01:03:43 I'm gonna put you on the rail,
01:03:47 - Get off of me!
01:03:50 You're gonna drop me, man!
01:03:53 The two horses are flying down...
01:04:06 - Here comes the cavalry charge.!
01:04:11 It's Silver Treasure on the inside.
01:04:15 Silver Treasure on the inside.
01:04:18 And at the wire
01:04:27 Aw, damn it.
01:04:29 What the hell
01:04:32 - What am I supposed to do,
01:04:35 - He almost put me in the rail!
01:04:38 Look, we had a plan.
01:04:40 He fouled me, Tom!
01:04:49 He fouled me!
01:04:51 Son? Son.
01:04:56 What are you so mad at?
01:05:09 There's a phone next door.
01:05:12 Every couple of weeks, we'll call you
01:05:15 No. We're just gonna
01:05:27 You have a gift.
01:05:29 You have a gift.
01:05:39 I need to borrow some money.
01:05:44 All right.
01:05:47 I haven't been to a dentist,
01:05:52 Well, I-I need to borrow
01:05:54 - That's fine.
01:05:59 I mean, when we win.
01:06:02 That is if you
01:06:08 Of course I want you to ride.
01:06:14 How much do you need?
01:06:16 Uh,
01:06:19 ten dollars.
01:06:22 Here.
01:06:29 Than... Uh...
01:06:38 Thank you.
01:06:49 That's it, Pops.
01:06:55 Yeah, we're okay.
01:06:57 Nothing to worry about.
01:07:00 All the time in the world, boy.
01:07:03 Nice lead.
01:07:06 Just like that.
01:07:11 What do you think, boy?
01:07:14 You and me.
01:07:26 Ha.! Ha.!
01:07:58 Whoo!
01:08:01 In the end, it wasn't the dams...
01:08:05 or the roads
01:08:10 Or the tunnels
01:08:13 that were built
01:08:16 It was more invisible
01:08:19 Men who were broken
01:08:22 suddenly felt restored.
01:08:25 Men who'd been shattered
01:08:28 Well, I just think
01:08:31 He may have been down,
01:08:33 He may have lost a few,
01:08:36 We could all learn
01:08:39 Oh, and by the way,
01:08:41 He thinks he's
01:08:43 - So you got big plans
01:08:46 Oh, yeah. See, sometimes
01:08:49 he doesn't know
01:08:53 - Can we get a shot here?
01:08:55 See, this isn't
01:08:58 The future is the finish line,
01:09:02 "Just the horse to get us there."
01:09:05 You certainly made a believer
01:09:07 It's time for this old tout
01:09:09 Four and 20 blackbirds,
01:09:14 and I'll take mine la mode.
01:09:16 Oh.
01:09:19 And one more thing, Mr. Howard.
01:09:21 Thanks for the champagne.
01:09:24 Did you see the infield?
01:09:26 Take a look.
01:09:40 Oh, my gosh.
01:09:42 Hey, what do you think
01:09:45 That's who we're ridin' for,
01:09:48 Red! Red! Red!
01:09:50 That's an awful lot of hoopla
01:09:53 "Though he be but little,
01:09:56 What's that?
01:09:58 That's Shakespeare.
01:10:17 Holy cow!
01:10:23 Look at that, Biscuit.
01:10:26 There you go.
01:10:32 There he is!
01:10:40 That's for you, Pops.
01:10:42 That's for you.
01:11:18 That makes six consecutive victories
01:11:22 Why, he may be
01:11:26 Yes, it's standing room only
01:11:30 and if you can't afford the quarter,
01:11:33 So what is the secret
01:11:36 I have it on good authority
01:11:38 two pints of ice-cold beer
01:11:41 Reporting from trackside
01:11:45 - this is Tick-Tock McGlaughlin,
01:11:51 Ahh.
01:11:56 Morning.
01:12:00 What... What's this?
01:12:02 From an admiring public.
01:12:04 It's pretty good too.
01:12:11 Where's the horse?
01:12:14 He what?
01:12:18 Here you go, Max.
01:12:21 Hey, Charles. You think
01:12:24 Oh, let's ask him.
01:12:26 You gonna win one more?
01:12:30 Hey, Charles.
01:12:33 Well, I think we just
01:12:36 Sometimes all somebody needs
01:12:38 I think there are a lot
01:12:41 know just what
01:12:43 You got that right.
01:12:46 Here, boys.
01:12:49 Hey, thanks.
01:12:51 - Never run out of luck.
01:13:00 Sam! Where the hell
01:13:07 You quit?
01:13:09 He's not a parade animal.
01:13:12 Look, Tom,
01:13:16 I can't get him
01:13:18 if I can't get the time
01:13:20 What do you mean?
01:13:23 We don't know that yet.
01:13:25 Against who?
01:13:30 This... This is a great horse.
01:13:42 First he smashed them
01:13:45 Then he crushed them
01:13:49 Then he destroyed
01:13:53 At almost 18 hands,
01:13:55 Eighteen hands?
01:13:59 Yeah, he's big.
01:14:02 Born of perfect breeding,
01:14:06 the millionaire Mr. Riddle
01:14:11 Until next time,
01:14:16 What the hell
01:14:18 Perfect. He's perfect.
01:14:20 What the hell
01:14:22 What?
01:14:25 I'll show you something
01:14:32 Look, he's obviously
01:14:35 We're obviously
01:14:37 The country deserves
01:14:39 Yo-ho-ho-ho! You may not be able
01:14:43 Are we talking about
01:14:45 Whatever Mr. Riddle wants.
01:14:49 Just 'cause we're littler
01:14:53 Right you are, and in
01:14:55 every little guy knows
01:14:57 You hear that, Mr. Riddle?
01:15:03 Destiny.
01:15:06 So destiny,
01:15:09 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:15:12 Does Seabiscuit stand a chance...
01:15:15 Do they use
01:15:18 - Look.
01:15:21 Comparing these two horses
01:15:23 War Admiral
01:15:26 who's won every prestigious race
01:15:28 This little colt of theirs
01:15:34 If we responded
01:15:36 who wants to make
01:15:39 it wouldn't be fair to us.
01:15:42 But it wouldn't be fair
01:15:44 You wouldn't put Jack Dempsey
01:15:47 Huh?
01:15:48 Would you?
01:15:51 "Middleweight"?
01:15:54 I'll knock
01:15:56 He's chicken!
01:15:58 "Middleweight"?
01:16:00 How?
01:16:02 Well, this is still America.
01:16:06 Cash.
01:16:09 - A hundred thousand dollars?
01:16:12 I sure hope so.
01:16:17 You'd put this place on the map.
01:16:19 They might have all that
01:16:22 Our money
01:16:24 Charlie...
01:16:27 Now, they're stuck in the past.
01:16:30 Great.
01:16:33 Come here.
01:16:36 Come on.
01:16:38 Pilin' off of those train cars.
01:16:44 Huh? That's victory
01:16:47 Doc?
01:16:49 That's...
01:16:54 You sell cars like this?
01:16:56 Hundreds of'em.
01:16:58 Hold your horses!
01:17:00 Just when you thought you'd
01:17:04 He has smashed the piggy bank
01:17:08 Makes me want to
01:17:11 Will the Biscuit be the favorite?
01:17:15 We're talking Derby winners,
01:17:17 Preakness winners,
01:17:21 Hold on, hold on.
01:17:23 But at 100,000 bucks,
01:17:26 in this friendly port?
01:17:28 This is Tick-Tock McGlaughlin
01:17:33 They raised a hundred grand!
01:17:39 No, thanks.
01:17:41 Excuse me, boys.
01:17:43 Shit!
01:17:45 Shit.
01:17:48 The hell with it.
01:17:50 There are still going to be
01:17:53 and if we win this thing,
01:17:56 He's gonna have to face us.
01:18:07 Okay. Special Agent's
01:18:10 He's gonna go to the lead,
01:18:13 So don't get sucked in.
01:18:15 Indian Broom
01:18:18 We'll know they're holdin' him back
01:18:22 Now, the one to worry about
01:18:27 He closes
01:18:30 and he'll fight you for it
01:18:32 You gotta have
01:18:34 by the time
01:18:37 It's still kind of soggy out there
01:18:40 so try to stay off the rail
01:18:45 I figured I'd sit back
01:18:47 Yeah, that's fine.
01:18:51 And other than that, just...
01:18:55 just try to feel it.
01:18:59 He'll tell you
01:20:33 Yeah, boy!
01:20:38 Come on, Red!
01:20:46 Ha! Ha!
01:20:58 Yeah, come on.
01:21:08 - Whoo-hoo!
01:21:16 Come on! Come on!
01:21:27 It's not my fault.
01:21:29 I told you look out
01:21:32 You stopped ridin'!
01:21:34 What are you talkin' about?
01:21:37 Yeah, well, I can't...
01:21:40 See out there!
01:21:49 He lied to us.
01:21:51 He lied to us.
01:21:54 What do you mean?
01:21:57 He can't see.
01:22:25 It's fine, Tom.
01:22:29 - It's fine?
01:22:36 "You don't throw
01:22:38 just 'cause it's banged up
01:22:44 Good night.
01:22:48 All right, all right.
01:22:51 Well, I guess
01:22:53 turned out to be
01:22:56 Huh?
01:22:58 Well, at least we don't have
01:23:02 Huh? Huh?
01:23:05 All right, boys.
01:23:19 The hell with it.
01:23:24 Just a couple of announcements.
01:23:26 First, Red Pollard will remain
01:23:30 now and forever.
01:23:32 Second, if they're too scared
01:23:37 We're gonna enter every race
01:23:39 and if he scratches,
01:23:43 we'll enter the next race
01:23:45 And we won't come home
01:23:50 You know,
01:23:53 I'd rather have one horse like this
01:23:56 - Thanks, fellas.
01:24:10 Gotta see him.!
01:24:22 Look, I, uh...
01:24:25 Uh, we appreciate it.
01:24:27 I'm sure the Biscuit
01:24:30 He's just a little shy
01:24:33 He'd thank you himself.
01:24:36 I guess, uh,
01:24:40 because this is a horse
01:24:44 That's right.
01:24:48 That's right.!
01:24:51 But, heck,
01:24:55 Yes, sir.
01:24:57 And you either pack up
01:25:00 Isn't that right?
01:25:02 - That's right.!
01:25:05 Now,
01:25:08 do you want to see a match race?
01:25:10 Yeah!
01:25:13 Yeah.!
01:25:16 - Yeah!
01:25:18 Seabiscuit!
01:25:23 Extra.! Extra.!
01:25:25 Will there be a match race?
01:25:28 Extra.! Extra.!
01:25:31 I don't know what
01:25:33 I mean, look at us.
01:25:37 Our jockey's too big.
01:25:39 - Our trainer is too old.
01:25:41 Forgive me, Tom.
01:25:44 - Yeah, Charlie!
01:25:48 Yeah.!
01:25:58 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:26:02 a sea of hungry faces demanding
01:26:05 They have come here tonight
01:26:08 In the chill of a late
01:26:11 Let me make my way
01:26:15 Excuse me. Excuse me.
01:26:17 Ma'am, ma'am, if I may.
01:26:19 What brings you out here tonight
01:26:22 clamoring for a view
01:26:24 Because we want to see
01:26:30 I said, don't you think...
01:26:32 Mr. Riddle
01:26:34 Match race!
01:26:36 Match race.!
01:26:40 Match race.!
01:26:43 Match race.! Match race.!
01:26:47 Fine, but it's on my terms.
01:26:49 Any terms you want.
01:26:51 Mile and 3/16ths.
01:26:54 All right.
01:26:57 We won't be using
01:27:00 You mean a starting gate?
01:27:04 - Fine.
01:27:08 That's not negotiable.
01:27:11 Mmm. Seems like
01:27:15 Oh, I'm sure you'll find it
01:27:27 Jesus Christ.!
01:27:29 I wanna be a horse.
01:27:32 Well, you're almost
01:27:35 That's very funny.
01:27:38 It doesn't even smell
01:27:40 Hmm. They probably
01:27:44 Well, they still crap.
01:27:48 Well, they do.
01:27:52 Over here, pal. Right over here!
01:27:54 There you go!
01:27:57 Biscuit, here...
01:27:59 Whoa.!
01:28:05 They got us
01:28:07 Is that him?
01:28:12 Bit too small.
01:28:17 That's him.
01:28:21 Oh, my God.
01:28:30 Maybe he's the kind of horse
01:28:39 Wow.
01:28:44 We gotta get to the lead.
01:28:46 Biscuit never goes
01:28:48 I know,
01:28:53 If that monster shakes loose,
01:28:56 we'll never catch him.
01:28:59 What, retrain him?
01:29:05 We got two weeks.
01:29:15 Excuse me.
01:29:17 Uh,
01:29:19 we'd like to buy
01:29:24 They didn't tell me
01:29:28 Do you want me
01:29:30 No. No.
01:29:32 Okay. It's a predatory
01:29:36 If I just brush it
01:29:39 he'll bolt.
01:29:41 - We want to teach him
01:29:44 A hundred feet.
01:29:48 Okay. Got it.
01:29:51 - You ready?
01:30:18 All right.
01:30:38 Oh, come on, Tom!
01:30:44 When he wakes up, I guess.
01:30:46 Geez!
01:30:48 For cryin'out loud.!
01:30:52 The whole track?
01:30:54 I just want him
01:30:57 with nothin'
01:30:59 - Yeah, but I can't see out there.
01:31:02 Aw, come on, Tom.
01:31:06 Why do you always

01:32:10 Look, I-I'm in a little trouble.
01:32:12 I got this horse over in Annex,
01:32:16 Tough times and all?
01:32:18 I was wonderin' if...
01:32:21 If folks saw
01:32:25 Yeah. I'll breeze
01:32:30 It's on.
01:32:32 Just take him
01:32:35 Can he do that?
01:32:43 Try it now.
01:32:54 Okay, try it again.
01:32:59 - Whoa! Whoa!
01:33:02 - Easy! Easy! Easy!
01:33:18 Aaah!
01:33:23 - Stop it!
01:34:00 Look, most of the damage
01:34:04 God, I don't know.
01:34:07 Eleven, 12 breaks.
01:34:10 We're gonna
01:34:13 Just sit tight for me.
01:34:57 Well, we're all done.
01:34:59 He'll always limp,
01:35:03 W-Will he ride?
01:35:06 No, he's not gonna ride.
01:35:09 Y-You're sure?
01:35:13 You take care.
01:35:15 Th... Thank you.
01:35:21 Hey.
01:35:22 Uh, you should see
01:35:25 You're gonna be fine.

01:35:41 Yeah.
01:35:46 Look, I, uh... I think we're
01:35:50 No.
01:35:54 Son, he's a great horse,
01:35:57 Don't scratch.
01:36:05 Call Woolf.
01:36:09 - Son, nobody's riding...
01:36:13 Call him.
01:36:15 Are you gonna scratch?
01:36:17 No, we're not
01:36:19 Red Pollard wants Seabiscuit
01:36:22 He wouldn't let us scratch.
01:36:24 Thank you much.
01:36:27 You're welcome.
01:36:29 The Iceman cometh.!
01:36:32 Why, it's like getting Babe Ruth
01:36:36 Why, George Woolf is...
01:36:38 Irrelevant.
01:36:40 They can get the Four Horsemen
01:36:43 Won't make any difference.
01:36:47 Doesn't matter
01:36:52 He's got a strong left lead,
01:36:55 Banks like
01:36:57 He might need help
01:37:01 Like you did
01:37:04 He needs a good warm-up,
01:37:07 When you do ask him,
01:37:09 Just flick it twice,
01:37:13 Right.
01:37:16 And, um, never on the left side.
01:37:20 They hit him on the left side
01:37:23 I wish it was you, Johnny.
01:37:26 I'll be right there with you.
01:37:31 Aaah!
01:37:34 Ay, ya, ya, ya, ya!
01:37:39 Great. Now, show him the stick
01:37:43 and he'll give you
01:37:50 Okay, now,
01:37:52 force him to that left lead
01:37:56 and he'll give you even more.

01:38:33 But you gotta give it up
01:38:36 Give it up?
01:38:41 He fights for it, Georgie.
01:38:43 If you bring him head to head
01:38:46 and he looks him in the eye,
01:38:49 there's no way
01:38:51 You just hold him
01:38:55 and let him get
01:38:58 Then let him go.
01:39:01 It's not in his feet, Georgie.
01:39:04 It's right here.
01:39:12 By 10:00 a.m.
01:39:15 was 15 blocks away.

01:47:15 Now a word from our sponsor,
01:47:18 Money can't buy
01:47:40 Easy does it.

01:48:39 All hail the conquering hero.
01:48:43 No more match races for this
01:48:46 Who's he gonna race? Pegasus?
01:50:46 When will they know?
01:50:48 Maybe an hour. I'm not sure.
01:50:54 Does it hurt when he bends it?
01:50:57 We don't know anything yet.
01:51:00 I promise.
01:51:07 He was runnin' easy on me.
01:51:12 He's gotta be all right.
01:51:16 Mr. Howard.
01:51:25 Well, he ruptured
01:51:29 I put a splint on him
01:51:32 but right now
01:51:36 He's not gonna race again.
01:51:43 Look, um...
01:51:47 I know this is hard,
01:52:27 Oh, that's okay, Pops.
01:52:37 Hey.
01:52:52 Mmm.
01:53:11 See,
01:53:14 first you gotta get
01:53:17 Yeah. Then you can
01:53:20 Then once you start

01:53:28 But you know what Hadrian
01:53:31 "Brick by brick, my citizens.
01:53:34 Brick by brick."
01:53:37 See,
01:53:40 they're Arabians,
01:53:42 so they don't need
01:53:44 These horses can go
01:53:48 without a drop of water,
01:53:52 Oh. I'm not sayin'
01:53:56 I'm just saying
01:54:02 Oh, good idea.
01:54:06 Take a little rest.
01:54:46 I don't know, Red.
01:54:48 We're just gonna walk in a circle.
01:54:53 Horse weighs 1,200 pounds, Sam.
01:54:56 No, I mean your leg.
01:55:04 Here comes Seabiscuit
01:55:09 picking off competition
01:55:12 He's third! Now second!
01:55:14 Now first!
01:55:16 And it's Seabiscuit at the wire...
01:55:19 to win the Santa Anita Handicap
01:55:28 Nice.
01:55:44 What?
01:56:00 Whoa!
01:56:02 Whoa, Pops. Easy.
01:56:09 Whoa.
01:56:11 Wow. Wow, Pops.
01:56:14 You feel better,
01:56:22 It's okay, Sam.
01:56:25 Fine with me, Red.
01:56:38 Way to go!
01:56:49 Looking good.
01:56:54 Whoo!
01:57:35 Is it even possible?
01:57:37 Most folks
01:57:39 Most folks just...
01:57:43 The best thing to do
01:57:48 - That's the only way
01:57:52 Sure. I mean, I-I think so.
01:58:17 He worked great.
01:58:20 Why don't we give him
01:58:23 Maybe six furlongs.
01:58:26 Sure. I'll be here.
01:58:28 Thanks, George.
01:58:33 Comin' along.
01:58:36 Could he be ready?
01:58:38 For what?
01:58:50 Top of the morning to you.
01:58:52 That's, uh...
01:58:56 Just a two-year-old.
01:58:59 I thought maybe you were
01:59:02 No.
01:59:06 Hair of the dog.
01:59:10 You been here long?
01:59:13 Catching up
01:59:16 Well, I'm sure
01:59:23 - Stop the presses!
01:59:26 This isn't a scoop, folks.
01:59:28 This is three scoops
01:59:31 And throw in some nuts,
01:59:35 Guess who may be working
01:59:39 Guess who may be shooting
01:59:42 You guessed it.
01:59:44 Did you ever guess it!
02:00:01 A minute-12, minute-13.
02:00:06 He starts to labor,
02:00:08 Try and see how he feels...
02:00:12 Got you.
02:00:24 That's all right, Pops.
02:00:27 Come here. It's okay.
02:00:40 And this, the most
02:00:47 Red.
02:00:50 Talk to me?
02:00:52 You can't do it!
02:00:55 I was crippled
02:00:59 He made me better.
02:01:05 Jesus Christ.
02:01:11 And that's as much my horse
02:01:23 That's pretty quick.
02:01:27 It's up to him, Red.
02:01:30 He's the doctor.
02:01:35 You made this?
02:01:37 Mm-hmm. Yeah.
02:01:40 It... It wraps around
02:01:43 fasten it all the way
02:01:45 I barely feel anything
02:01:54 Look, it could shatter
02:01:58 Forget about racing.
02:02:02 There's no way to know
02:02:07 If it gets reinjured,
02:02:12 Possible. He just said
02:02:16 Well, hell, anything's possible.
02:02:19 This is different.
02:02:26 It's not just a race.
02:02:31 I had that race.
02:02:34 I know.
02:02:41 # If I had a million dollars #
02:02:45 What's going on?
02:02:58 Well, even... even with the brace,
02:03:02 If he gets bumped,
02:03:04 Do you want to know
02:03:08 I think it's better
02:03:14 It's not just the leg.
02:03:17 Mar, he could fall.
02:03:19 If he gets thrown
02:03:35 You know,
02:03:41 And no matter how hard I try,
02:03:47 It always rolls out again.
02:03:56 Just let him ride, Charles.
02:04:01 Just let him do it.
02:04:10 Jumpin' Jehoshaphat,
02:04:14 Who's next... Lazarus?
02:04:18 The largest crowd
02:04:20 Fifty-five thousand in the stands,
02:04:24 and it's only 12:00!
02:04:44 It's not bad.
02:04:48 St. Christopher.
02:04:50 For luck.
02:04:52 A little late for that,
02:05:02 All right.
02:05:21 Ready?
02:05:39 Whichcee's the speed.
02:05:41 He's gonna be
02:05:44 I don't think
02:05:46 Just stalk him
02:05:49 Right.
02:05:51 Wedding Call
02:05:54 Now, he's got some guts,
02:05:56 so look out for him too.
02:06:04 Relax, guys.
02:06:08 Okay.
02:06:35 Charles, it's gonna be great.
02:06:39 Good luck, Mr. Howard.
02:06:50 Good luck.
02:06:52 Well, I feel fine.
02:06:56 Relax. Buy you a couple
02:07:01 That's a good idea.
02:07:03 Who you bettin'on?
02:07:51 Hey, old man.
02:07:53 What are you doing here?
02:07:55 Got another mount.
02:07:59 Don't worry.
02:08:03 I'll see you at the finish.
02:08:56 Aaah.
02:09:06 Aaah.
02:09:24 Come on, boy.
02:09:26 Come on. Come on!
02:09:35 Hyah! Come on! Go!
02:09:57 - How you doin', Red?
02:10:00 You guys all right?
02:10:05 There you go, boy.
02:10:10 There it is.
02:10:15 Come on, Pops.
02:10:22 Go on with it, Johnny!
02:10:34 Come on, Red!
02:10:44 Whoo-hoo!
02:10:48 Come on, Biscuit!
02:11:24 You know, everybody thinks we found
02:11:30 but we didn't.
02:11:34 He fixed us.
02:11:37 Every one of us.
02:11:41 And I guess, in a way,
02:11:45 we kind of fixed each other too.
