A number of years ago I rented a movie about and titlled Pharlap. Great movie, thourghly enjoying,and wellworth watching. If youve never seen it on the shelf thats probably because it was made some time ago, didnt get the big hype or make any kind of a big splash, but its out there and probably not to hard to find. You'll see how the racing board ruled the roost and how they tried to rule and destroy this absolutely magnificent animal, and-but, could not. Truely a great story, a great horse, and a film well done.
Now Seabiscuit, thats just a name that when I first heard it, never forgot it, Idont know, maybe hearing two words like sea and biscuit being thrown together to describe a thought made me kinda wonder " gee I wonder what a seabisciut would taste like, sounds good, kinda like somethin that would go good with crab cakes, ya know, ( yeah we know, rrrrright)
But Iam sure the history of Seabiscuit is a fabulous one and if the producers/directors treat this horse as part of, what was then a great love of American horseracing partial to that era, then maybe we'll get to see a great American movie, about a great American horse in a great American era.
