Come On, Seabiscuit!

by Ralph Moody · 1963

+ Want to read

Who would've believed that an ungraceful little colt named Seabiscuit would be one of the most celebrated racehorses in history? This is the thrilling tale of the plucky horse who refused to quit, the down-on-his-luck jockey who fought for their chance, and the taciturn trainer who brought out the best in both.
