>I just this week watched "Seabiscuit, the movie" ...

>It's a great movie
>that even shows some actual race footage...

IMnotveryHO, it's a horrible movie. The only

relationship between the movie and truth is the

name of the horse.

I've known about Seabiscuit since I was a kid.

Not because I'm that old, but because there

was a book in my local North Claremont San Diego

branch library called _Come On, Seabiscuit!_

that told the story. Great drawings.

One thing I've never known the cause of is,

Seabiscuit was retired to stud, but was a

failure at stud, and was returned to racing.

I've never known why he was considered to be

a failure at stud. Was it because his get

didn't do anything, or was it more like

Cigar: sterility?
