He was our television commercial spokesperson for the Santa Anita Handicap for several years, recounting remembrances of Seabiscuit.

Ralph Moody
Bison Books, 2003
One of many but not the original
Ralph Moody's book is a warm tribute to the story of Seabiscuit. The illustrations are wonderful and it is written at the level for its intended audience. The original tale of Seabiscuit was written by B.K. Beckwith in 1940, his "saga of a great champion"; Moody realized the lessons inherent in this amazing horse--forgotten even by his time in the 1950s--and he recast the tale for a new audience, ...

Seabiscuit: Wild Pony of the Outer Banks2 reviews
Anne Russell
Coastal Carolina Press, 2001
A natural fit
I am writing this mostly in response to a criticism about the title. As any informed person would know, seabiscuit is the name of a shell, and has been so longer than the name of some famous racing horse. This book is a marvelous story about a pony. It showcases a lovely area of North Carolina and presents a sweet story for kids. Anyone who enjoys nature, horses or just kids stories will love ...

Letters to Seabiscuit3 reviews
Barbara Howard
Seven Locks Press, 2003
Window to Yesteryear
Through printing exact reproductions - many handwritten - of the fan mail to the Howard family and Seabiscuit in 1939-40, a unique glimpse into the lives and attitudes of America is shown. The content of the letters, notes, and poems is fascinating, and made moreso by being able to view it in the original format - including the stationery, stamps and envelopes. It's a very enjoyable read. I loved ...
