Single DVD

Despite his boxy build, stumpy legs, scraggly tail and ungainly gait, Seabiscuit was one of the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorses in history. His fabulously wealthy owner Charles Howard, his famously silent and stubborn trainer Tom Smith, and the two hard-bitten, gifted jockeys who rode him to glory turned Seabiscuit into a national hero.

Seabiscuit was wonderful!

By Dayna

Verified Buyer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Seabiscuit DVD:

Anyone who loves horses, racing, or just animals and the people who love them will be inspired by this documentary. If you have seen the major motion picture about Seabiscuit, this DVD is an absolute must see! There is no media sensationalism here, just an honest to goodness real horse and the people who believed in him as they really were. Wonderful!

Comments about PBS American Experience: Seabiscuit DVD:

This story emmulates the All-American experience. With everything against them, this team of owner, trainer, jockey and, of course, horse came out on top. This is truly an inspiring tale.

Seabiscuit, a True American Hero

By Marilyn, a true fan of Seabiscuit

from Santa Monica, CA

Verified Buyer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Seabiscuit DVD:

This is a great story of a great American hero who was in the right place at the right time. "Pops" was a hero in his time for a country badly in need of a hero. And in this day and age, he still has relavence as this country is in sad shape.

This horse and the people around him had great heart and determination to overcome whatever life threw at them.

The Seabiscuit story will make you laugh and cry and stand up anc cheer. An expereince we all can use.

Motivation for "Never giving up"

By Mallie

from Colorado Springs, CO

Verified Buyer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Seabiscuit DVD:

After watching the Seabiscuit documentary, I was overwhelmed with the "heart" of horse and jockey, of whom neither had a wealth of potential to be winners in the field of horse racing.
I bought the DVD to send to my daughter, who may benefit from the motivation this film activates. The "never give up" message is always beneficial.

A fine production!

By George the Prof

from Sycamore, IL

Verified Buyer

Comments about PBS American Experience: Seabiscuit DVD:

It is unusual to have a Hollywood movie AND a PBS documentary on the same subject, both of them outstanding. The American Experience version, with an abundance of period film footage, is impressive. It's two inspiring stories in one, of a remarkable horse, Seabiscuit, and a remarkable jockey, "Red" Pollard, both survivors in a punishing sport. Don't miss it.
