1
00:01:27,387 --> 00:01:30,081
They called it
"The car for Everyman".
2
00:01:30,957 --> 00:01:35,017
Henry Ford himself called it
a car for the "great multitude."
3
00:01:36,863 --> 00:01:38,464
It was functional and simple,
4
00:01:38,544 --> 00:01:41,926
like your sewing machine
or your cast-iron stove.
5
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:47,799
You could learn to drive it
in less than a day,
6
00:01:47,874 --> 00:01:52,573
and you could get any color
you wanted, so long as it was black.
7
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:59,616
When Ford first conceived the Model T,
it took 13 hours to assemble.
8
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:05,888
Within five years, he was
turning out a vehicle every 90 seconds.
9
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,090
Of course,
the real invention wasn't the car,
10
00:02:11,109 --> 00:02:13,724
it was the assembly line that built it.
11
00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:20,296
Pretty soon, other businesses
had borrowed the same techniques.
12
00:02:20,373 --> 00:02:23,501
Seamstresses became button sewers.
13
00:02:23,576 --> 00:02:27,444
Furniture makers
became knob turners.
14
00:02:27,614 --> 00:02:31,416
It was the beginning and the end
of imagination...
15
00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:33,918
all at the same time.
16
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:47,534
Howard?
17
00:02:50,303 --> 00:02:52,665
- Charles, I'm talking to you.
- Hmm?
18
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:54,719
They need spokes,
same as the others.
19
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,199
You know,
they oughta make a better spoke.
20
00:02:57,277 --> 00:02:59,905
Yeah? Then what would you do?
21
00:04:26,366 --> 00:04:28,305
It was a land of opportunity.
22
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,352
The country was shrinking,
23
00:04:32,452 --> 00:04:35,034
and there was life to be made out West...
24
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:38,703
for any man with drive
and ambition.
25
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:42,908
If your dream was big enough
and you had the guts to follow it,
26
00:04:42,982 --> 00:04:46,816
there was truly a fortune
to be made.
27
00:04:55,627 --> 00:04:58,192
How are you, sir?
28
00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:47,411
- Damn thing blew on me.
- What?
29
00:05:47,980 --> 00:05:50,472
It's a Stanley Steamer.
The boiler blew.
30
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:53,542
- Oh?
- Can you fix it?
31
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:56,986
Uh...
32
00:05:59,458 --> 00:06:03,393
Sure!
Sure I can fix it.
33
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:40,297
This is an amazing machine.
34
00:06:40,366 --> 00:06:42,766
It's got a two-stroke boiler system...
35
00:06:42,835 --> 00:06:45,604
that's heated
by this huge fire grate.
36
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:46,571
I mean, it's...
37
00:06:46,771 --> 00:06:50,571
Well, it's basically
a very small locomotive.
38
00:06:50,643 --> 00:06:53,305
- Thank you.
- Now, I made some improvements.
39
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:56,112
It wasn't your boiler that was blowing;
it was your bleed valve.
40
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:59,774
So, with increased pressure, I can see
you getting up to 40 miles an hour.
41
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:00,770
Really?
42
00:07:00,785 --> 00:07:04,619
Oh, yeah and if you superheat the excess,
I can see you reaching...
43
00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:07,624
- 50, maybe 60 miles an hour.
- Is that right?
44
00:07:07,693 --> 00:07:11,926
Easily. And the thing of it is,
Mr. Coughlin, you don't feed it,
45
00:07:11,998 --> 00:07:13,230
you don't stable it,
46
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:17,163
and unless you hit a lamppost, the thing's
not gonna get sick and die on ya.
47
00:07:17,236 --> 00:07:21,172
- That's funny.
- To tell you the truth,
48
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,540
I wouldn't spend more than five dollars
on the best horse in America.
49
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:11,720
This is not the finish line, my friends.
This is the start of the race.
50
00:08:11,791 --> 00:08:13,958
The future is the finish line!
51
00:08:14,058 --> 00:08:17,426
And the new Buick White Streak
is just the car to take us there!
52
00:08:17,596 --> 00:08:21,133
Four in-line cylinders,
42 1/2 horsepower,
53
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,700
And this is the very same car
54
00:08:23,714 --> 00:08:26,968
that you can buy at anyone of our
five showrooms all across the Bay Area.
55
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:32,306
"The age of the automobile is here,"
boasted Howard. "The future has arrived."
56
00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:40,246
- Oh, my.
- Read the part about the future again.
57
00:08:40,319 --> 00:08:42,350
Oh, I'm kind of dealing
with it right now.
58
00:08:42,369 --> 00:08:44,119
Oh, sorry.
Here. I'll take him.
59
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:47,250
Come here, big guy.
Come here. Come here.
60
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:50,887
Oh, are you the future, huh?
Are you the future?
61
00:08:52,663 --> 00:08:54,162
Are you gonna...
62
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,269
Are you going to the moon?
63
00:08:58,936 --> 00:09:00,328
The moon! Whee!
64
00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:03,139
I'll take it.
65
00:09:04,011 --> 00:09:06,878
Do we really need all this?
66
00:09:07,078 --> 00:09:08,845
No. No. We don't need it...
67
00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:11,362
There's also a caretaker's house,
a paddock, a barn,
68
00:09:11,462 --> 00:09:13,709
some very nice stables.
69
00:09:13,986 --> 00:09:15,977
How big are the stables?
70
00:09:50,422 --> 00:09:51,490
Got it.
71
00:09:52,458 --> 00:09:55,052
Settle down. Settle down.
72
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:58,494
Quit. Quit. Whoa. Whoa.
73
00:10:01,164 --> 00:10:02,330
Whoa.
74
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:05,632
Whoa.
75
00:10:31,597 --> 00:10:33,558
Come on, Dad.
76
00:10:36,368 --> 00:10:38,327
Whoa.
77
00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:51,080
There you go.
78
00:11:00,858 --> 00:11:02,423
You're not getting him a horse.
79
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:05,396
Why not?
He's great at it.
80
00:11:05,464 --> 00:11:09,166
- Because he's 16 years old.
- So?
81
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:12,233
So... he should earn it.
82
00:11:14,573 --> 00:11:18,573
All right.
83
00:11:18,644 --> 00:11:22,239
- All... All right. Quiet.
- Everybody knows it.
84
00:11:22,314 --> 00:11:24,782
Nobody knows Longfellow.
Dickinson.
85
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:27,375
Ooh!
86
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:32,218
"We never know how high we are..."
87
00:11:33,793 --> 00:11:36,091
Oh, I know that.
Yeah. I know.
88
00:11:36,162 --> 00:11:38,653
I know it.
Well?
89
00:11:41,133 --> 00:11:45,763
"We never know how high we are
till we are called to rise."
90
00:11:45,838 --> 00:11:48,306
- Good.
- Very good, John.
91
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:51,400
"And then, if we are true to plan,
our statures touch the skies."
92
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:55,277
- Excellent.
- Yes! That's really good.
93
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,948
Uh-oh.
94
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:05,989
- "The heroism..."
- Right.
95
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:08,618
Right. "The heroism..."
96
00:12:08,694 --> 00:12:11,822
"The heroism we recite...
97
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:14,661
"would be a daily thing,
98
00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:19,865
Oh, that's it.
"Did not ourselves the cubits warp,
99
00:12:19,939 --> 00:12:23,966
for fear to be a king. "
100
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:33,011
You should be riding it.
You knew the poem.
101
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:38,717
Yeah. But he looks so perfect out there,
doesn't he?
102
00:12:38,791 --> 00:12:42,124
Yeah. He does.
103
00:12:42,194 --> 00:12:45,630
That's the poetry
right there, Agnes.
104
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:48,064
That's the poetry.
105
00:12:50,035 --> 00:12:53,004
Thank you. Thank you for coming.
106
00:12:53,072 --> 00:12:56,007
I came here 15 years ago
with 21 cents in my pocket.
107
00:12:56,075 --> 00:12:58,976
I know a lot of us at the table
have a story like that.
108
00:12:59,044 --> 00:13:02,172
And, you know,
I can't help thinking...
109
00:13:02,248 --> 00:13:05,517
that if we can start out there
and end up here,
110
00:13:05,617 --> 00:13:07,686
where can't we go in America?
111
00:13:07,753 --> 00:13:08,987
Hmm...
112
00:13:09,087 --> 00:13:13,521
So, as corny as it sounds,
I'd like to propose a toast to the future.
113
00:13:14,592 --> 00:13:18,962
Because out here, my friends,
the sky is literally the limit.
114
00:13:19,031 --> 00:13:21,022
To the future!
To the future!
115
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:25,036
To the future!
116
00:13:46,258 --> 00:13:50,558
There were no suicides
on Wall Street that day.
117
00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:54,463
It was a myth
that would grow over time.
118
00:13:57,036 --> 00:14:02,201
The real effect of October 29
took a little longer to sink in.
119
00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:10,146
By noon, all the gains of
the previous year had been obliterated.
120
00:14:10,216 --> 00:14:15,813
By 4:00 p.m., nearly $ 10 billion
of market value was gone.
121
00:14:18,924 --> 00:14:23,088
Over the next two weeks,
the hemorrhage continued.
122
00:14:24,563 --> 00:14:30,263
And before long,
25% of the workforce was unemployed.
123
00:14:36,141 --> 00:14:39,406
A great national migration began.
124
00:14:39,478 --> 00:14:43,107
Displaced families
took to the American highway...
125
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:46,549
in the last possession
that remained to them:
126
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,588
Their automobile.
127
00:14:51,423 --> 00:14:55,052
And all at once,
millions of Americans...
128
00:14:55,127 --> 00:14:58,927
had a new definition of home.
129
00:15:24,356 --> 00:15:27,348
I made two dollars today.
130
00:15:27,726 --> 00:15:31,954
- What?
- I made two dollars.
131
00:15:32,231 --> 00:15:34,829
Here.
132
00:15:38,971 --> 00:15:41,906
Where did you get these?
133
00:15:45,044 --> 00:15:47,728
Yeah, your boy combed 'em out,
changed all the tack.
134
00:15:47,758 --> 00:15:48,872
I didn't have to tell him a thing.
135
00:15:53,385 --> 00:15:55,683
- Hey, Red,
- Attaboy!
136
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:58,746
Where'd a young fella
like you learn so much about horses?
137
00:15:58,824 --> 00:16:02,055
His name's Johnny.
138
00:16:02,227 --> 00:16:04,186
You can call me Red.
139
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:10,262
Whoo!
140
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:19,342
Yeah! Whoo! Yeah!
141
00:16:52,711 --> 00:16:57,648
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
142
00:17:04,056 --> 00:17:07,617
What's that?
Everything.
143
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:10,321
Dickens, Wordsworth.
144
00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:14,045
There's your Arabian Nights
and Moby Dick,
145
00:17:14,145 --> 00:17:15,595
even your Milne, from when you were...
146
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:19,059
Why?
What's wrong?
147
00:17:19,238 --> 00:17:23,368
Mr. Blodget here, he has a house,
a real house. - Dad... Dad, what's wrong?
148
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:25,569
- And his wife cooks.
- She is a good cook.
149
00:17:25,644 --> 00:17:29,273
There's even a phone next door.
We'll call you.
150
00:17:29,348 --> 00:17:31,976
Every couple of weeks, we'll call you,
and we'll tell you where we are.
151
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:34,433
We're just gonna go home,
all right? Let's go.
152
00:17:34,533 --> 00:17:35,316
Listen to me.
153
00:17:35,387 --> 00:17:39,619
You have a gift.
You have a gift.
154
00:17:39,691 --> 00:17:44,060
Don't... Don't do this.
155
00:17:44,129 --> 00:17:47,321
- Dad, don't do this.
- We'll be back.
156
00:17:58,510 --> 00:18:00,605
- Mom
- Go with Mr. Blodget.
157
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:03,000
- No.
- He's gonna take care of you, sweetie.
158
00:18:03,077 --> 00:18:05,276
- Mom, don't do this.
- OK, go with him.
159
00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:33,041
I don't know. You still
look pretty tall to be a jockey.
160
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:36,877
I've never been over 115.
161
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:38,429
Where'd you learn to ride like that?
162
00:18:38,629 --> 00:18:40,009
Home.
163
00:18:41,487 --> 00:18:44,581
All right.
Here's the way it works.
164
00:18:44,656 --> 00:18:48,217
I pay you $10 a week to ride.
You owe nine dollars for your meals,
165
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:51,285
six dollars to sleep in the stalls,
three dollar tack fee.
166
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:54,594
That's the deal.
How do I pay all that back?
167
00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:56,827
You win.
168
00:18:56,902 --> 00:18:59,928
Ow!
169
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:06,837
You son of a bitch!
Get off of me!
170
00:19:27,432 --> 00:19:29,992
Yah!
171
00:19:31,937 --> 00:19:34,405
Get lost!
172
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:53,958
Get off of me!
Get off of me!
173
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,800
Get off of me!
174
00:20:11,543 --> 00:20:15,479
A nose? You lose a race a nose,
you'd better fall off tryin!
175
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:20,917
Here. Muck these stalls down,
every damn one of'em!
176
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:23,978
A nose!
For Christ's sake!
177
00:20:30,662 --> 00:20:33,995
No. No, Bill, I'm not gonna do it.
No more layoffs.
178
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:37,035
Well, it can't get any worse.
179
00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:41,198
Look, if it stays like this,
we'll just...
180
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:46,233
Bill, we'll be fine, really.
We will.
181
00:20:46,311 --> 00:20:50,611
All right. I'll see you in town.
182
00:20:57,122 --> 00:21:01,354
Frankie, come on.
It's a glorious day outside.
183
00:21:01,426 --> 00:21:03,759
Why don't...
Why don't you go fishing or something?
184
00:21:03,859 --> 00:21:05,192
I'm reading.
185
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:07,697
You can read when it's raining.
186
00:21:07,897 --> 00:21:10,031
Come on,
I'll teach you to drive the truck.
187
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:13,629
You already taught me
to drive the truck.
188
00:21:13,705 --> 00:21:16,697
- Well, what are you reading?
- Flash Gordon.
189
00:21:18,575 --> 00:21:21,838
Come on, Dad.
It's about the future!
190
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:31,512
We'll be in San Francisco
till Wednesday.
191
00:22:49,701 --> 00:22:54,297
Yeah? What?
192
00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:11,642
Come inside.
- I'm not done.
193
00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:14,201
Sam can do that.
194
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:19,342
I don't want Sam to do it.
I want to do it.
195
00:25:20,385 --> 00:25:24,219
- Annie.
- Don... Don... No!
196
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:33,858
Ma'am.
197
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:29,646
Come on, Red!
Come on!
198
00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:22,367
At a time when the world
really needed a drink,
199
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,570
you couldn't get one
in the United States of America.
200
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:30,046
Liquor was illegal.
Diversions were scarce,
201
00:27:30,115 --> 00:27:34,017
and there's just so much
a human being can do without.
202
00:27:35,487 --> 00:27:38,120
Soon, the border town was born,
203
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,520
providing everything to the south
204
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,828
that their neighbor to the north,
would not.
205
00:27:43,895 --> 00:27:49,492
You could find anything:
Food, companionship,
206
00:27:49,567 --> 00:27:55,005
decent gin,
and with gambling outlawed as well,
207
00:27:55,073 --> 00:27:59,373
the chance to turn bad luck into good.
208
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:07,482
Relax! You got it!
You got it! You got it!
209
00:28:07,552 --> 00:28:10,214
Go!
210
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:13,717
That jockey was ridin'
like he's got an anvil in his pocket.
211
00:28:13,792 --> 00:28:18,088
I'm gonna bet with you no more.
I don't like it.
212
00:28:22,901 --> 00:28:25,062
Who's that?
213
00:28:25,136 --> 00:28:28,105
George Woolf,
greatest jockey in the world.
214
00:28:40,151 --> 00:28:43,609
That's Charles Howard?
Yeah.
215
00:28:43,688 --> 00:28:46,748
- I thought he came down here for a...
- Quickie divorce?
216
00:28:46,825 --> 00:28:51,353
- Why?
Look at him.
217
00:28:52,597 --> 00:28:55,259
Nothing quick about that.
218
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:19,982
It was in the palace
of the great sultan.
219
00:29:20,058 --> 00:29:23,994
Sultan of where?
The Sultan of Araby.
220
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:26,560
I'd been living there
for almost a year,
221
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:29,159
racing his Arabians
across the desert by day...
222
00:29:29,234 --> 00:29:32,829
and finishing my personal history
of the region by night.
223
00:29:32,904 --> 00:29:38,672
Then one day, the sultan
summons me into his throne room.
224
00:29:38,743 --> 00:29:41,769
He looks at me and says,
225
00:29:41,846 --> 00:29:43,226
- John Pollard.
- John Pollard.
226
00:29:43,326 --> 00:29:45,907
You are my greatest jockey.
227
00:29:45,984 --> 00:29:49,518
It is you I have chosen
to ride my hundred mile race
228
00:29:49,618 --> 00:29:52,052
from Kusmat to Tripoli.
229
00:29:53,123 --> 00:29:55,725
200 mile.
230
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:58,661
All right. 200-mile.
Excuse me, sahib.
231
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:03,533
You didn't need to wreck it, Georgie.
232
00:30:03,633 --> 00:30:06,233
When you started tellin' that story,
it was only 50 miles.
233
00:30:06,404 --> 00:30:09,799
Yeah, well,
everything gets longer in the retellin'.
234
00:30:09,874 --> 00:30:11,532
Just ask your friend Wanda over there.
235
00:30:12,911 --> 00:30:15,261
You know, if you start ridin'
a little more and talkin' a little less,
236
00:30:15,461 --> 00:30:17,211
you might start winnin' some races.
237
00:30:17,382 --> 00:30:19,282
I got two bucks
says I beat you in this one.
238
00:30:19,382 --> 00:30:20,283
I'm not sure if you do,
239
00:30:20,351 --> 00:30:22,163
but I got five says I beat you.
240
00:30:22,263 --> 00:30:22,876
Done.
241
00:30:27,425 --> 00:30:30,861
- Give me odds. You're the favorite.
- Even money.
242
00:30:30,929 --> 00:30:34,092
- Nah! Forget it! Two-to-one!
- Fine.
243
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:35,194
You got it.
244
00:30:35,294 --> 00:30:38,124
Hey, Johnny, you're on a speed horse.
What are you doin' back here with me?
245
00:30:38,203 --> 00:30:41,636
I like the conversation, and it's not
a speed horse. Don't try to hook me.
246
00:30:41,706 --> 00:30:43,767
- You goin' tonight?
- Nah. You?
247
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:46,242
- Nah.
- What time?
248
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:49,871
- I don't know. 8:00?
- Okeydoke.
249
00:30:49,948 --> 00:30:53,449
Oops. There's my hole!
Gotta go! Yah!
250
00:30:58,790 --> 00:31:01,759
Goddamn it!
251
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:12,463
Whoa!
252
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:15,768
We got him!
253
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,300
- I'll take him.
- Get the hell out of here.
254
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:24,781
- I said, I'll take him.
- He's got a fractured foot.
255
00:31:24,849 --> 00:31:27,647
If you're gonna shoot him anyway,
I'll save you the bullet.
256
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:34,324
- Whoa.
- Fine.
257
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:37,987
Let him go.
Hey, let him have him.
258
00:31:50,375 --> 00:31:52,309
Now, bud.
259
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:00,384
Yeah, boy.
260
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:48,529
Okeydoke, Johnny.
There's the hole! Gotta fly!
261
00:32:51,836 --> 00:32:56,899
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
262
00:33:01,579 --> 00:33:05,447
There once was a princess
from Siam...
263
00:33:05,516 --> 00:33:09,247
who was sitting here
sort of like I am.
264
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:15,020
I wined her and dined her,
and then I reclined her.
265
00:33:18,162 --> 00:33:23,725
Ah, shit.
What rhymes with Siam?
266
00:33:23,801 --> 00:33:26,702
That's great.
You make that up?
267
00:33:26,771 --> 00:33:30,537
Pretty obvious, huh?
268
00:33:30,608 --> 00:33:35,875
- That's beautiful.
- No. You're beautiful.
269
00:33:35,947 --> 00:33:39,041
Don't say that.
You pay me.
270
00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:46,914
So, you wanna... you know...
271
00:33:46,991 --> 00:33:49,255
get going?
272
00:33:51,095 --> 00:33:53,655
Sure. Why not?
273
00:34:10,848 --> 00:34:15,512
- How do you miss a hole like that?
- There's my hole! Gotta fly!
274
00:34:15,586 --> 00:34:17,611
Are you blind?
275
00:34:23,761 --> 00:34:27,390
ngel, are you okay?
276
00:34:29,534 --> 00:34:32,697
Ol!
277
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:35,968
Ol!
278
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,325
You don't wanna watch?
279
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:09,472
No. Not really.
280
00:35:10,741 --> 00:35:14,074
I don't either.
281
00:35:15,546 --> 00:35:18,640
Ol!
282
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,881
So, what? They brought you down here to
make you feel better? Is that it?
283
00:35:28,259 --> 00:35:31,228
Yes. Sort of.
284
00:35:31,295 --> 00:35:34,423
Those guys, they think
everything is fixed with a party.
285
00:35:36,968 --> 00:35:40,028
I'm sorry. Who are you?
286
00:35:40,104 --> 00:35:44,165
Oh. Marcela Zabala.
287
00:35:47,044 --> 00:35:51,743
- My sister, Isabella, she's married...
- No. No, no. I know.
288
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:55,752
Nice to meet you. Charles.
Mucho gusto.
289
00:36:09,133 --> 00:36:11,966
So, do you feel better?
290
00:36:17,041 --> 00:36:21,478
No. No, not really.
291
00:36:22,780 --> 00:36:26,477
No. How could you?
292
00:36:26,551 --> 00:36:29,418
With something like that.
293
00:37:02,386 --> 00:37:06,413
Come on, buddy. Wake up.
294
00:37:06,490 --> 00:37:09,152
Come on.
295
00:37:18,536 --> 00:37:22,632
- Did I lose?
- Oh, no. You clobbered him.
296
00:37:26,344 --> 00:37:28,812
Easy.
297
00:37:28,879 --> 00:37:31,507
- Easy, nice and slow.
- I'm fine. I'm fine.
298
00:37:31,582 --> 00:37:32,673
Come on.
Let me buy you some turtle soup.
299
00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:35,097
I'm fine, George.
Go win yourself a race or something.
300
00:37:35,197 --> 00:37:37,644
Look, let's go down to Sloan's,
and we'll just...
301
00:37:37,722 --> 00:37:39,353
I'm fine, George.
302
00:37:39,453 --> 00:37:42,284
I don't need your help, and
I sure as shit don't need your charity.
303
00:37:44,629 --> 00:37:47,894
Leave me alone,
all right?
304
00:37:54,670 --> 00:37:56,998
It's been 20 years
since I've been on a horse.
305
00:37:57,075 --> 00:38:00,806
Don't worry. It's the kind of thing
that comes right back.
306
00:38:20,931 --> 00:38:21,895
Let's go.
307
00:38:31,508 --> 00:38:33,875
Come on!
308
00:39:15,252 --> 00:39:17,880
What? She got you back up on a horse,
and now you wanna buy 'em?
309
00:39:17,955 --> 00:39:20,123
Yeah. Maybe.
Maybe a couple.
310
00:39:20,223 --> 00:39:22,392
Well, you wanna win or just own 'em?
311
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,786
- I wanna win.
- What sort of question is that?
312
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:28,396
Well, you're gonna need a trainer
before you buy horses.
313
00:39:28,466 --> 00:39:31,560
No. You need two.
So you can fire one, eh?
314
00:39:36,140 --> 00:39:40,076
Randy Thatcher's barn.
Trains about 50 or 60 ponies.
315
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:45,177
- Good fella too. Real horse person.
- A real horse-shitter. Scusa, scusa
316
00:39:45,449 --> 00:39:47,782
Now, now. I don't know,
maybe you want a smaller barn,
317
00:39:47,882 --> 00:39:49,216
somebody who can take the time...
318
00:39:49,386 --> 00:39:52,913
Who's that?
- Huh?
319
00:39:52,990 --> 00:39:57,654
Oh, he's a crackpot.
Lives alone in the bushes.
320
00:39:58,428 --> 00:40:00,424
What's he do?
321
00:40:00,498 --> 00:40:03,298
I don't know.
He used to be a trainer, farrier.
322
00:40:03,398 --> 00:40:06,198
Now he just looks after that horse.
323
00:40:07,571 --> 00:40:10,836
Come on.
Let's look at another barn.
324
00:40:27,691 --> 00:40:31,422
- Howdy.
- Hello.
325
00:40:35,699 --> 00:40:39,863
- Wh... You hungry?
- No. No, thanks.
326
00:40:39,937 --> 00:40:42,929
I'm fine.
Charles Howard.
327
00:40:43,007 --> 00:40:46,170
Tom... Smith.
Nice to meet you, Tom.
328
00:40:48,979 --> 00:40:52,574
What's... What's in his bandage?
329
00:40:54,485 --> 00:40:59,923
Oh, that's hawthorn root.
It increases circulation.
330
00:40:59,990 --> 00:41:03,790
You wanna sit down?
331
00:41:03,861 --> 00:41:06,853
Oh. All right.
Thank you.
332
00:41:10,568 --> 00:41:14,026
Will he get better?
333
00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:17,164
Already is... a little.
334
00:41:17,241 --> 00:41:21,678
Will he race?
335
00:41:21,745 --> 00:41:25,476
No. Not that one.
336
00:41:26,684 --> 00:41:30,211
So why are you fixing him?
337
00:41:30,287 --> 00:41:32,380
'Cause I can.
338
00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:39,688
Every horse
is good for somethin'.
339
00:41:39,763 --> 00:41:43,790
He could be a cart horse
or a lead pony.
340
00:41:43,868 --> 00:41:46,928
And he's still nice to look at.
341
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:51,464
You know, you don't
throw a whole life away...
342
00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:54,136
just 'cause
he's banged up a little.
343
00:42:07,892 --> 00:42:10,827
Is that coffee?
344
00:42:10,895 --> 00:42:12,886
Yeah.
345
00:42:17,334 --> 00:42:21,100
It's bad, though.
346
00:42:21,372 --> 00:42:23,840
You always tell the truth?
347
00:42:23,908 --> 00:42:26,968
Well, I try to.
348
00:42:42,092 --> 00:42:46,495
It ain't just the speed.
It's the heart.
349
00:42:46,564 --> 00:42:50,591
You want something
that's not afraid to compete.
350
00:42:50,668 --> 00:42:54,365
Half these horses
are just show ponies.
351
00:42:54,438 --> 00:42:57,839
You want something
that's not gonna run from a fight.
352
00:42:59,109 --> 00:43:01,172
How do you find that?
353
00:43:02,646 --> 00:43:06,991
Look, I won the Robles Handicap.
I was second in the Tijuana Derby.
354
00:43:07,017 --> 00:43:09,611
I won the Manzanita Oaks.
You know, that used to be a stakes race.
355
00:43:09,687 --> 00:43:10,668
I know.
356
00:43:10,768 --> 00:43:13,350
I- I would've won T.J.,
but the piece of shit lugged out on me.
357
00:43:13,424 --> 00:43:14,759
Sounds great.
We'll let ya know.
358
00:43:14,859 --> 00:43:16,076
Look.
359
00:43:16,676 --> 00:43:19,494
I can work 'em out in the morning.
360
00:43:20,462 --> 00:43:24,164
Or, even hot-walk 'em if you need me to.
361
00:43:24,234 --> 00:43:27,897
Really?
You'll hot-walk 'em?
362
00:43:27,972 --> 00:43:31,237
This is somethin' else.
363
00:43:31,308 --> 00:43:33,708
A dream come true,
walkin' you around.
364
00:43:33,777 --> 00:43:37,208
Hook you up to a plow,
pull me around for a little while.
365
00:43:37,308 --> 00:43:38,339
Come on.
366
00:43:39,215 --> 00:43:42,545
You ever run in the money?
Huh?
367
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:45,589
Hey. Hey.
You ever run in the money?
368
00:43:45,656 --> 00:43:47,254
I don't think so.
369
00:43:47,274 --> 00:43:49,592
Couldn't beat a human being,
let alone another horse.
370
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,363
You goddamn
sack-of-crap old plater.
371
00:43:54,432 --> 00:43:56,500
Probably the fastest
you're gonna run in your entire life,
372
00:43:56,529 --> 00:43:59,126
you piece-of-shit old glue-pot.
373
00:43:59,203 --> 00:44:03,162
That's right.
374
00:44:20,691 --> 00:44:22,823
The first time he saw Seabiscuit,
375
00:44:22,923 --> 00:44:25,856
the colt was walking
through the fog at 5:00 in the morning.
376
00:44:27,331 --> 00:44:31,392
Smith would say later that the horse
looked right through him...
377
00:44:31,468 --> 00:44:34,733
as if to say,
"What the hell are you looking at?
378
00:44:34,805 --> 00:44:39,640
- Who do you think you are?"
379
00:44:39,710 --> 00:44:42,474
He was a small horse,
barely 15 hands.
380
00:44:42,546 --> 00:44:47,313
He was hurting too.
There was a limp in his walk,
381
00:44:47,384 --> 00:44:50,911
a wheezing when he breathed.
382
00:44:50,988 --> 00:44:53,548
Smith didn't pay attention
to that.
383
00:44:53,624 --> 00:44:58,288
He was looking the horse
in the eye.
384
00:44:58,362 --> 00:45:02,162
God... damn.
385
00:45:08,338 --> 00:45:12,934
He was the son of Hard Tack,
sired by the mighty Man O' War.
386
00:45:13,010 --> 00:45:16,676
But the breeding did little
to impress anyone at Claiborne Farms.
387
00:45:16,747 --> 00:45:19,748
Get rid of him.
388
00:45:23,821 --> 00:45:27,224
At six months, he was shipped off
to train with the legendary trainer
389
00:45:27,254 --> 00:45:28,788
Sunny Fitzsimmons,
390
00:45:28,859 --> 00:45:32,590
who, over time,
developed a similar opinion of the colt.
391
00:45:32,663 --> 00:45:36,429
Is that a racehorse
or a lead pony?
392
00:45:37,634 --> 00:45:40,865
The judgment wasn't helped
by his gentle nature.
393
00:45:40,938 --> 00:45:45,671
Where his sire had been a fierce,
almost violent competitor,
394
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:48,712
Seabiscuit took to sleeping
for huge chunks of the day...
395
00:45:48,779 --> 00:45:53,978
and enjoyed lolling for hours
under the boughs of the juniper trees.
396
00:45:54,351 --> 00:45:57,612
His other great talent was eating.
397
00:45:57,688 --> 00:45:59,523
Though half the size of other colts,
398
00:45:59,623 --> 00:46:03,058
Seabiscuit could frequently
eat twice as much.
399
00:46:04,361 --> 00:46:07,187
Fitzsimmons decided
the horse was lazy...
400
00:46:07,264 --> 00:46:10,859
and felt sure he could train
the obstinance out of him.
401
00:46:10,935 --> 00:46:15,572
I want you to hit him as many times
as you can over a quarter of a mile.
402
00:46:15,639 --> 00:46:20,008
When he didn't improve,
they decided the colt was incorrigible.
403
00:46:21,945 --> 00:46:24,436
They made him a training partner
to better horses,
404
00:46:24,515 --> 00:46:27,006
forcing him to lose
head-to-head duels...
405
00:46:27,084 --> 00:46:29,450
to boost the confidence
of the other animal.
406
00:46:30,754 --> 00:46:32,688
By the time
he was three years old,
407
00:46:32,756 --> 00:46:36,214
Seabiscuit was struggling
in two cheap claiming races a week.
408
00:46:37,661 --> 00:46:41,995
Soon he grew as bitter and angry
as his sire Hard Tack had been.
409
00:46:44,468 --> 00:46:47,904
He was sold
for the rock-bottom price of $2,000.
410
00:46:51,842 --> 00:46:54,572
And, of course,
it all made sense.
411
00:46:54,645 --> 00:46:58,445
Champions were large,
they were sleek,
412
00:46:58,515 --> 00:47:00,506
they were without imperfection.
413
00:47:01,985 --> 00:47:03,714
When they finally did race him,
414
00:47:03,814 --> 00:47:06,544
he did just
what they had trained him to do.
415
00:47:06,623 --> 00:47:07,957
He lost.
416
00:47:10,394 --> 00:47:12,328
What exactly is it you like?
417
00:47:12,396 --> 00:47:15,422
He's got spirit.
418
00:47:15,499 --> 00:47:18,059
I'll say.
419
00:47:19,369 --> 00:47:22,930
Can... Can he be ridden?
Oh, sure.
420
00:47:26,476 --> 00:47:29,536
Eventually.
421
00:47:29,613 --> 00:47:33,549
He can be a little touchy.
Yeah, I got it.
422
00:47:33,617 --> 00:47:36,245
No. Really.
423
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,311
I'm fine.
424
00:47:47,064 --> 00:47:49,532
Jesus Christ!
That horse is nuts!
425
00:48:07,951 --> 00:48:10,920
Come on!
Come on! Come on!
426
00:48:10,988 --> 00:48:12,956
Let's go! Come on,
you sons of bitches!
427
00:48:24,835 --> 00:48:26,894
Let's go!
Come on!
428
00:48:29,072 --> 00:48:31,006
Let's go! Come on,
you sons of bitches!
429
00:48:31,074 --> 00:48:33,804
I'll take all of you!
Come on! Come on!
430
00:48:58,135 --> 00:49:01,036
It's okay.
431
00:49:02,739 --> 00:49:05,867
- I'm not afraid of you.
432
00:49:05,943 --> 00:49:08,935
Sure. I know.
433
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,574
I know what
you're all about.
434
00:49:20,991 --> 00:49:22,925
You hungry?
435
00:49:25,295 --> 00:49:27,286
Huh?
436
00:49:29,733 --> 00:49:32,497
Yeah. Bet you are.
437
00:49:33,570 --> 00:49:37,233
Huh? Come on.
438
00:49:37,307 --> 00:49:39,298
Come on, boy.
439
00:49:48,585 --> 00:49:51,076
Yeah.
440
00:49:55,158 --> 00:49:58,286
Why don't you just
breeze him around one turn.
441
00:49:58,362 --> 00:50:01,024
Give the folks a look.
Right.
442
00:50:02,466 --> 00:50:04,962
Red Pollard,
Mr. and Mrs. Howard.
443
00:50:05,062 --> 00:50:05,958
Yeah. Hi.
444
00:50:06,036 --> 00:50:09,472
Hello.
445
00:50:09,539 --> 00:50:11,473
Well, we'll just be movin' on.
446
00:50:17,381 --> 00:50:19,508
Does he breeze?
447
00:50:19,583 --> 00:50:21,983
Well, we'll find out.
448
00:50:40,771 --> 00:50:43,331
Seems pretty fast.
Yeah.
449
00:50:43,407 --> 00:50:45,432
In every direction.
450
00:50:47,344 --> 00:50:50,040
Hell, he's so beat up,
it's hard to tell what he's like.
451
00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:53,512
I just can't help feelin'
they got him...
452
00:50:53,583 --> 00:50:56,143
so screwed up
runnin'in a circle,
453
00:50:56,219 --> 00:51:00,178
he's forgotten
what he was born to do.
454
00:51:01,391 --> 00:51:04,554
He just needs to learn
how to be a horse again.
455
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:08,789
Well, how do
you do that?
456
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,699
- How far do you want me to take him?
- Till he stops.
457
00:51:22,145 --> 00:51:24,773
Okay.
458
00:51:24,848 --> 00:51:26,839
That seems like a pretty good ride.
459
00:51:28,452 --> 00:51:31,353
Hope so.
460
00:51:48,939 --> 00:51:50,873
That's it, boy.
461
00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:52,875
You're all right.
462
00:51:52,943 --> 00:51:55,537
Let's see what you got, boy.
Ha! Ha!
463
00:51:55,612 --> 00:51:59,070
Ha! Ha! Whoo!
464
00:51:59,149 --> 00:52:02,016
That's it, boy. That's it!
465
00:52:08,125 --> 00:52:10,218
Yeah!
466
00:52:16,933 --> 00:52:19,231
Whoo!
467
00:52:22,839 --> 00:52:24,830
Whoo-hoo!
468
00:52:33,683 --> 00:52:37,910
- Well, at least he wasn't expensive.
- No. That's true.
469
00:52:40,290 --> 00:52:43,657
Whoo!
470
00:52:48,198 --> 00:52:51,065
Goddamn it!
You're an amazing animal!
471
00:52:55,372 --> 00:52:58,671
Whoo!
472
00:53:17,994 --> 00:53:19,985
You can
come inside, you know.
473
00:53:20,063 --> 00:53:23,260
- I'm fine. Thank you.
- Yeah, you look it.
474
00:53:25,001 --> 00:53:27,026
No, really, I'm fine.
475
00:53:28,104 --> 00:53:31,039
Okay.
Suit yourself.
476
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:45,112
Welcome.
477
00:53:59,069 --> 00:54:01,663
Thank you.
You're welcome.
478
00:54:13,016 --> 00:54:15,007
It's okay.
479
00:54:16,086 --> 00:54:18,020
Oh, I'm not that hungry.
480
00:54:18,088 --> 00:54:20,716
Mmm. Sure you're not.
481
00:54:21,992 --> 00:54:23,926
It's just a lot of food.
482
00:54:29,199 --> 00:54:31,724
It's okay.
483
00:54:31,801 --> 00:54:34,167
Rather have you strong than thin.
484
00:54:57,861 --> 00:54:59,988
They called it "relief,"
485
00:55:00,063 --> 00:55:01,928
but it was
a lot more than that.
486
00:55:01,998 --> 00:55:04,228
It had dozens of names:
487
00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:06,792
N.R.A., W.P.A.,
488
00:55:06,870 --> 00:55:09,304
the C.C.C.
489
00:55:09,372 --> 00:55:12,136
But it really came down
to just one thing.
490
00:55:14,444 --> 00:55:16,912
For the first time
in a long time,
491
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:18,971
someone cared.
492
00:55:20,317 --> 00:55:23,480
For the first time
in a long time,
493
00:55:23,553 --> 00:55:26,044
you were no longer alone.
494
00:57:10,460 --> 00:57:13,122
Goat racing?
495
00:57:13,196 --> 00:57:17,132
Oh, no. Just trying
to calm him down a little.
496
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,067
Smart ones
hate being alone all the time.
497
00:57:20,136 --> 00:57:22,969
- Oh.
- And sometimes another animal,
498
00:57:23,039 --> 00:57:26,008
it just...
just soothes them a bit.
499
00:58:04,814 --> 00:58:07,214
Pretty quiet in there.
500
00:58:07,283 --> 00:58:09,877
What'd you do?
501
00:58:09,953 --> 00:58:11,944
Go take a look.
502
00:58:19,762 --> 00:58:23,425
Oh.
503
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:28,403
♪ Rock of ages, cleft for me ♪
504
00:58:28,471 --> 00:58:33,465
♪ I am hid and safe in thee ♪
505
00:58:33,543 --> 00:58:38,480
♪ For the water and the blood ♪
506
00:58:38,681 --> 00:58:40,615
♪ From thy riven...♪
507
00:58:40,683 --> 00:58:41,678
Okay.
508
00:58:41,752 --> 00:58:46,278
You don't break him or anything, but
we gotta see what he's got.
509
00:58:46,955 --> 00:58:51,591
You take him to the 5½ pole and
turn him loose.
510
00:58:51,661 --> 00:58:53,155
Turn him loose?
511
00:58:53,231 --> 00:58:56,822
Yeah, son.
He's a racehorse.
512
00:59:01,237 --> 00:59:03,337
Ha! Ha!
Come on!
513
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,872
Come on!
514
00:59:12,748 --> 00:59:16,009
Ha! Come on, I know you got
more than this! Let's show 'em, boy!
515
00:59:20,890 --> 00:59:22,824
How's he look?
516
00:59:22,892 --> 00:59:25,019
Asleep.
517
00:59:26,195 --> 00:59:30,263
Come on!
Let's show 'em, Pops! Come on!
518
00:59:39,842 --> 00:59:42,272
Whoo!
There it is! Yeah!
519
00:59:42,372 --> 00:59:43,403
Whoo!
520
00:59:43,879 --> 00:59:45,640
Oh, my.
521
00:59:56,660 --> 00:59:59,656
Yeah, you and me! Let's go!
522
00:59:59,729 --> 01:00:01,424
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo!
523
01:00:12,575 --> 01:00:14,975
- Boy. Fast?
- Oh. Yeah.
524
01:00:15,044 --> 01:00:17,035
How fast?
525
01:00:18,348 --> 01:00:21,806
Your horse just broke
the track record at Tanforan.
526
01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:29,349
Sometimes they...
they just, uh,
527
01:00:29,425 --> 01:00:31,359
hanker for a little competition.
528
01:00:38,534 --> 01:00:42,163
As long as we're talkin' long shots,
I got a real doozy for you, folks.
529
01:00:42,238 --> 01:00:44,832
We got a horse
that's going off at 70-to-1,
530
01:00:44,907 --> 01:00:46,675
and that's a short price, my friends.
531
01:00:46,743 --> 01:00:49,969
This horse couldn't win a church raffle,
let alone a $2,000 allowance.
532
01:00:50,046 --> 01:00:52,010
Yeah, talk about a
jump in class.
533
01:00:52,082 --> 01:00:53,950
This is the skunk
of the garden party.
534
01:00:54,017 --> 01:00:56,000
Yes,
he's the surprise in the punch bowl.
535
01:00:56,019 --> 01:00:58,082
As a matter of fact,
I'll lay even money that this nag,
536
01:00:58,282 --> 01:01:00,446
Seabiscuit,
couldn't even finish six furlongs.
537
01:01:00,523 --> 01:01:04,156
This is Tick-Tock McGlaughlin live
at Clockers' Corner.
538
01:01:07,463 --> 01:01:08,529
Wow.
539
01:01:08,729 --> 01:01:10,296
I wanted maroon.
They only had bright red.
540
01:01:10,366 --> 01:01:11,614
Oh, it looks great.
541
01:01:11,914 --> 01:01:13,563
You don't think
the "H" is too big?
542
01:01:13,636 --> 01:01:15,968
You seen
the size of our jockey?
543
01:01:28,617 --> 01:01:32,515
Okay. Favorite's
that gray over there.
544
01:01:32,588 --> 01:01:34,579
He's got a big late charge,
545
01:01:34,657 --> 01:01:39,185
so lock in early with him
and stay right off his flank.
546
01:01:39,262 --> 01:01:40,229
Okay.
547
01:01:40,429 --> 01:01:43,096
Once our boy
sees who the competition is,
548
01:01:43,166 --> 01:01:45,100
he'll do most of the work.
549
01:01:45,168 --> 01:01:47,102
But don't move
till that gray does.
550
01:01:47,170 --> 01:01:49,263
What if it's late?
551
01:01:50,938 --> 01:01:51,863
Let's go.
552
01:01:51,941 --> 01:01:54,466
Twelve minutes to post.
553
01:01:54,544 --> 01:01:56,478
I don't think
it's gonna matter much.
554
01:01:56,546 --> 01:01:59,208
Honestly.
555
01:02:27,043 --> 01:02:31,241
- Come on in.
Number 3, Pollard on Seabiscuit.
556
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:38,153
Hey, sahib.
Kinda small, isn't he?
557
01:02:38,221 --> 01:02:40,849
Gonna look a lot smaller
in a second, Georgie.
558
01:02:40,923 --> 01:02:42,720
I got five bucks
says he doesn't.
559
01:02:46,329 --> 01:02:48,058
Starter's poised. The flag is up.
560
01:02:48,131 --> 01:02:51,931
- And there they go.
561
01:02:52,201 --> 01:02:55,835
Pirate's Gold breaks first,
followed by Geronimo on the outside.
562
01:02:55,905 --> 01:02:59,204
Silver Treasure is third,
followed by Seabiscuit.
563
01:03:11,420 --> 01:03:13,752
They're coming by
the five-furlong pole.
564
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:17,919
It's Pirate's Gold, Geronimo,
Hill's Army and Agua Dulce.
565
01:03:22,598 --> 01:03:25,260
Whoa!
566
01:03:25,334 --> 01:03:28,792
Son of a bitch!
Ha! Ha!
567
01:03:30,439 --> 01:03:32,373
Piece of shit bastard!
568
01:03:35,211 --> 01:03:37,145
What the hell is he doing?
569
01:03:37,213 --> 01:03:40,046
... opening up a 3...
a 4-length lead...
570
01:03:40,116 --> 01:03:41,913
- Let's go!
- What are you doing?
571
01:03:41,984 --> 01:03:45,044
I'm gonna put you on the rail,
you piece of shit!
572
01:03:46,589 --> 01:03:47,587
Get off of me!
573
01:03:47,687 --> 01:03:49,085
How do you like that,
you son of a bitch?
574
01:03:49,158 --> 01:03:51,127
You're gonna drop me, man!
575
01:03:52,195 --> 01:03:56,131
The two horses are flying down...
- You like the rail?
576
01:04:04,807 --> 01:04:07,901
- Here comes the cavalry charge!
- Knock me off my horse!
577
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:11,909
It's Silver Treasure on the inside.
578
01:04:14,417 --> 01:04:17,079
Silver Treasure on the inside.
Silver Treasure and Pirate's Gold.
579
01:04:17,153 --> 01:04:20,520
And at the wire
it's Silver Treasure.
580
01:04:25,661 --> 01:04:27,595
Aw, damn it.
581
01:04:27,663 --> 01:04:29,756
- What the hell were you thinkin'?
- He fouled me.
582
01:04:29,867 --> 01:04:31,680
What am I supposed to do,
let him get away with that?
583
01:04:31,780 --> 01:04:34,193
Well, yeah,
when he's 40-to-1.
584
01:04:34,470 --> 01:04:36,932
- He almost put me in the rail!
- Well, did he?
585
01:04:37,206 --> 01:04:39,304
Look, we had a plan.
586
01:04:39,375 --> 01:04:41,207
He fouled me, Tom!
587
01:04:41,507 --> 01:04:44,039
What am I supposed to do?
He cut me off!
588
01:04:47,884 --> 01:04:50,079
He fouled me!
589
01:04:50,152 --> 01:04:52,814
Son? Son.
590
01:04:54,724 --> 01:04:56,715
What are you so mad at?
591
01:05:08,137 --> 01:05:10,731
There's a phone next door.
We'll call you.
592
01:05:10,806 --> 01:05:13,468
Every couple of weeks, we'll call you
and tell you where we are.
593
01:05:13,542 --> 01:05:16,875
No. We're just gonna
go home. All right?
594
01:05:25,721 --> 01:05:27,655
You have a gift.
595
01:05:27,723 --> 01:05:30,191
You have a gift.
596
01:05:37,566 --> 01:05:39,500
I need to borrow some money.
597
01:05:43,272 --> 01:05:45,740
All right.
I, uh,
598
01:05:45,808 --> 01:05:48,368
I haven't been to a dentist,
and m...
599
01:05:50,646 --> 01:05:53,012
Well, I-I need to borrow
some money.
600
01:05:53,082 --> 01:05:56,779
- That's fine.
- I don't know when I can pay you back.
601
01:05:57,954 --> 01:06:00,889
I mean, when we win.
When we win, I can pay you back.
602
01:06:00,957 --> 01:06:04,415
That is if you
still want me to ride.
603
01:06:06,629 --> 01:06:08,756
Of course I want you to ride.
604
01:06:12,635 --> 01:06:14,569
How much do you need?
605
01:06:14,637 --> 01:06:16,571
Uh,
606
01:06:18,207 --> 01:06:20,198
ten dollars.
607
01:06:21,344 --> 01:06:24,211
Here.
608
01:06:27,950 --> 01:06:30,714
Than... Uh...
It's fine.
609
01:06:36,859 --> 01:06:39,953
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
610
01:06:47,703 --> 01:06:49,551
That's it, Pops.
611
01:06:49,651 --> 01:06:52,299
We're okay now.
It's all right, boy.
612
01:06:54,210 --> 01:06:56,178
Yeah, we're okay.
613
01:06:56,245 --> 01:06:58,475
Nothing to worry about.
614
01:06:58,547 --> 01:07:01,641
All the time in the world, boy.
That's it, Pops.
615
01:07:01,717 --> 01:07:04,481
Nice lead.
Just like that, boy.
616
01:07:04,553 --> 01:07:06,077
Just like that.
617
01:07:09,525 --> 01:07:12,824
What do you think, boy?
You ready to go?
618
01:07:12,895 --> 01:07:16,092
You and me.
Let's go, boy. Let's go. Ha! Ha!
619
01:07:25,408 --> 01:07:27,376
Ha! Ha!
620
01:07:56,872 --> 01:07:58,999
Whoo!
621
01:08:00,409 --> 01:08:03,708
In the end, it wasn't the dams...
622
01:08:03,779 --> 01:08:07,312
or the roads...
or the bridges or the parks.
623
01:08:08,384 --> 01:08:11,480
Or the tunnels, or the thousands
of other public projects
624
01:08:11,554 --> 01:08:13,545
that were built in those years.
625
01:08:14,757 --> 01:08:16,884
It was more invisible
than that.
626
01:08:18,494 --> 01:08:20,860
Men who were broken
only a year before...
627
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:22,921
suddenly felt restored.
628
01:08:24,033 --> 01:08:27,366
Men who'd been shattered
suddenly found their voice.
629
01:08:27,436 --> 01:08:29,996
Well, I just think
this horse has a lot of heart.
630
01:08:30,072 --> 01:08:32,267
He may have been down,
but he wasn't out.
631
01:08:32,341 --> 01:08:35,401
He may have lost a few,
but he didn't let it get to him.
632
01:08:35,478 --> 01:08:37,878
We could all learn
a lick or two from this little guy.
633
01:08:37,947 --> 01:08:39,881
Oh, and by the way,
he doesn't know he's little.
634
01:08:39,949 --> 01:08:42,076
He thinks he's
the biggest horse out there.
635
01:08:42,151 --> 01:08:45,348
So you got big plans
for this little horse?
636
01:08:45,421 --> 01:08:47,685
Oh, yeah. See, sometimes
when the little guy,
637
01:08:47,756 --> 01:08:51,590
he doesn't know he's a little guy,
he can do great big things.
638
01:08:51,660 --> 01:08:53,587
Can we get a shot here?
639
01:08:53,663 --> 01:08:56,593
See, this isn't the finish line.
640
01:08:56,665 --> 01:08:58,592
The future is the finish line,
641
01:08:58,616 --> 01:09:01,068
and the Biscuit
is just the horse to get us there.
642
01:09:01,137 --> 01:09:03,605
"Just the horse to get us there."
643
01:09:03,672 --> 01:09:06,402
You certainly made a believer
out of me, Mr. Howard.
644
01:09:06,475 --> 01:09:08,409
It's time for this old tout
to eat some crow.
645
01:09:08,477 --> 01:09:13,039
Four and 20 blackbirds, to be exact,
all baked up in some humble pie,
646
01:09:13,115 --> 01:09:15,208
and I'll take mine a la mode.
647
01:09:15,284 --> 01:09:17,752
Oh.
648
01:09:17,820 --> 01:09:19,913
And one more thing, Mr. Howard.
I just wanna say...
649
01:09:19,989 --> 01:09:22,883
- Thanks for the champagne.
- Don't mention it.
650
01:09:22,959 --> 01:09:25,218
- Did you see the infield?
- No, not yet.
651
01:09:25,294 --> 01:09:26,152
Take a look.
652
01:09:26,252 --> 01:09:28,671
Your little horse is sellin' out
the cheap seats.
653
01:09:38,452 --> 01:09:40,677
Oh, my gosh.
654
01:09:40,855 --> 01:09:43,786
Hey, what do you think about
all those folks in the infield, Red?
655
01:09:44,059 --> 01:09:46,892
That's who we're ridin' for,
folks with a quarter in their pocket.
656
01:09:47,062 --> 01:09:48,996
Red! Red! Red!
657
01:09:49,064 --> 01:09:51,555
That's an awful lot of hoopla
for such a little horse!
658
01:09:51,633 --> 01:09:54,796
"Though he be but little,
he is fierce."
659
01:09:54,869 --> 01:09:57,696
- What's that? What?
- That's Shakespeare, boys.
660
01:09:57,772 --> 01:10:00,473
- That's Shakespeare.
- Oh, Shakespeare.
661
01:10:16,257 --> 01:10:18,651
Holy cow!
662
01:10:21,896 --> 01:10:24,763
Look at that, Biscuit.
Look at that.
663
01:10:24,833 --> 01:10:27,358
There you go.
Oh, my God.
664
01:10:30,505 --> 01:10:34,271
There he is!
Seabiscuit! Yea!
665
01:10:38,847 --> 01:10:40,940
That's for you, Pops.
666
01:10:41,015 --> 01:10:43,006
That's for you.
667
01:11:16,885 --> 01:11:20,068
That makes six consecutive victories
for this little colt from nowhere,
668
01:11:20,152 --> 01:11:21,151
one shy of the record.
669
01:11:21,222 --> 01:11:24,419
Why, he may be the biggest sensation
on four legs since Hope and Crosby.
670
01:11:24,492 --> 01:11:28,451
Yes, it's standing room only every time
this pint-size pony slips on a saddle,
671
01:11:28,530 --> 01:11:31,659
and if you can't afford the quarter,
a comfy tree limb will catch you a glimpse.
672
01:11:31,733 --> 01:11:34,758
So what is the secret
of this rags-to-riches story?
673
01:11:34,836 --> 01:11:37,396
I have it on good authority
they feed Seabiscuit...
674
01:11:37,472 --> 01:11:39,770
two pints of ice-cold beer
before every race.
675
01:11:39,841 --> 01:11:42,073
Reporting from trackside
in an equine exclusive,
676
01:11:42,173 --> 01:11:44,005
Oh, my gosh!
677
01:11:44,078 --> 01:11:47,243
- McGlaughlin, Movietone News.
- Who was that?
678
01:11:50,351 --> 01:11:52,410
Ahh.
679
01:11:54,789 --> 01:11:56,780
Morning.
680
01:11:58,827 --> 01:12:00,988
What... What's this?
It's beer.
681
01:12:01,062 --> 01:12:03,189
From an admiring public.
682
01:12:03,264 --> 01:12:05,630
It's pretty good too.
There's more in there.
683
01:12:09,537 --> 01:12:12,870
Where's the horse?
Signing autographs.
684
01:12:12,941 --> 01:12:14,568
He what?
685
01:12:16,744 --> 01:12:20,011
Here you go, Max. Let it dry
for a minute before you try to sell it.
686
01:12:20,181 --> 01:12:22,748
Hey, Charles.
You think he can break the record?
687
01:12:22,817 --> 01:12:24,812
Oh, let's ask him.
Hey, Biscuit.
688
01:12:24,886 --> 01:12:27,948
You gonna win one more?
You gonna break the record?
689
01:12:28,623 --> 01:12:29,440
Hey, Charles.
690
01:12:29,540 --> 01:12:32,058
What do you think finally
turned this horse around?
691
01:12:32,126 --> 01:12:34,754
Well, I think we just
gave him a chance.
692
01:12:34,829 --> 01:12:36,922
Sometimes all somebody needs
is a second chance.
693
01:12:36,998 --> 01:12:39,592
I think there are a lot
of people out there...
694
01:12:39,667 --> 01:12:41,931
know just what
I'm talking about.
695
01:12:42,003 --> 01:12:44,436
You got that right.
696
01:12:44,706 --> 01:12:47,431
Here, boys.
Take some horseshoes with you.
697
01:12:47,509 --> 01:12:50,171
- Hey, thanks.
- These are special.
698
01:12:50,245 --> 01:12:53,476
- Never run out of luck.
- Great.
699
01:12:59,487 --> 01:13:03,082
Sam! Where the hell
are my horseshoes?
700
01:13:05,827 --> 01:13:08,125
You quit?
I can't work like this.
701
01:13:08,196 --> 01:13:11,290
He's not a parade animal.
He's a racehorse.
702
01:13:11,366 --> 01:13:14,995
Look, Tom,
a little bit of public relations...
703
01:13:15,069 --> 01:13:17,162
I can't get him
to be a great horse...
704
01:13:17,238 --> 01:13:19,172
if I can't get the time
to work with him.
705
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,538
What do you mean?
He is a great horse.
706
01:13:21,609 --> 01:13:24,271
We don't know that yet.
He's won six stakes in a row.
707
01:13:24,345 --> 01:13:26,813
Against who?
708
01:13:28,550 --> 01:13:32,582
This... This is a great horse.
709
01:13:40,729 --> 01:13:43,996
First he smashed them
in the Kentucky Derby.
710
01:13:44,065 --> 01:13:46,195
Then he crushed them
in the Preakness.
711
01:13:47,369 --> 01:13:51,730
Then he destroyed all comers in
the Belmont to snatch the Triple Crown.
712
01:13:51,806 --> 01:13:54,400
At almost 18 hands,
he's as big as he is fast.
713
01:13:54,475 --> 01:13:58,411
Eighteen hands?
Can't be too fast a runner.
714
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:01,209
Yeah, he's big.
715
01:14:01,282 --> 01:14:02,883
Born of perfect breeding,
716
01:14:02,983 --> 01:14:05,284
displaying perfect form,
boasting a perfect record,
717
01:14:05,353 --> 01:14:09,447
the millionaire Mr. Riddle may have
finally created the perfect horse.
718
01:14:09,524 --> 01:14:13,560
Until next time, this is
Horace Halstedter for Metrotone News.
719
01:14:14,796 --> 01:14:16,889
What the hell does that mean anyway?
720
01:14:16,965 --> 01:14:18,995
Perfect.
He's perfect.
721
01:14:19,067 --> 01:14:21,235
What the hell does "perfect" mean?
722
01:14:21,302 --> 01:14:22,302
What?
723
01:14:22,702 --> 01:14:24,203
You show me something that's perfect,
724
01:14:24,272 --> 01:14:26,866
I'll show you something that's not.
725
01:14:30,912 --> 01:14:33,505
Look, he's obviously
the best horse in the East.
726
01:14:33,581 --> 01:14:35,515
We're obviously
the best horse in the West.
727
01:14:35,583 --> 01:14:37,676
The country deserves
to see which horse is better.
728
01:14:37,752 --> 01:14:40,022
Yo-ho-ho-ho!
You may not be able to see it, folks,
729
01:14:40,052 --> 01:14:42,052
but the gauntlet
just landed on my desk.
730
01:14:42,123 --> 01:14:44,187
Are we talking about
a match race Mr. Howard?
731
01:14:44,259 --> 01:14:45,526
Whatever Mr. Riddle wants.
732
01:14:45,626 --> 01:14:48,293
Match race, stakes race,
potato sack race.
733
01:14:48,363 --> 01:14:51,764
Just 'cause we're littler
doesn't mean we're scared.
734
01:14:51,833 --> 01:14:53,767
Right you are, and in
the heartland of America,
735
01:14:53,835 --> 01:14:55,735
every little guy knows
exactly what you mean.
736
01:14:55,803 --> 01:14:56,884
You hear that, Mr. Riddle?
737
01:14:56,984 --> 01:14:59,866
You have an appointment
with destiny, a date with...
738
01:15:02,310 --> 01:15:04,437
- Destiny.
- Destiny. Yes, exactly.
739
01:15:04,512 --> 01:15:07,640
So destiny,
and his name is Seabiscuit.
740
01:15:07,715 --> 01:15:11,675
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Does Seabiscuit stand a chance...
741
01:15:11,852 --> 01:15:14,413
I'm glad they finally
have racing in California.
742
01:15:14,489 --> 01:15:16,923
Do they use
Western saddles out there?
743
01:15:18,391 --> 01:15:19,459
Look.
744
01:15:19,527 --> 01:15:22,189
Comparing these two horses
is ridiculous.
745
01:15:22,263 --> 01:15:24,458
War Admiral
is a real racehorse...
746
01:15:24,532 --> 01:15:27,126
who's won every prestigious race
in America.
747
01:15:27,201 --> 01:15:31,103
This little colt of theirs
is running out on some cow track.
748
01:15:33,341 --> 01:15:35,332
If we responded
to every fledgling challenger...
749
01:15:35,410 --> 01:15:38,311
who wants to make
a name for themselves,
750
01:15:38,379 --> 01:15:40,472
it wouldn't be fair to us.
751
01:15:40,548 --> 01:15:42,982
But it wouldn't be fair
to them either.
752
01:15:43,051 --> 01:15:45,849
You wouldn't put Jack Dempsey
in the ring with a middleweight.
753
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,353
Huh?
754
01:15:47,422 --> 01:15:49,913
Would you?
755
01:15:49,991 --> 01:15:52,858
"Middleweight"?
I'll kill him.
756
01:15:52,927 --> 01:15:54,861
I'll knock
his goddamn block off!
757
01:15:54,929 --> 01:15:56,863
- He's chicken!
- I know. I know.
758
01:15:56,931 --> 01:15:59,024
- Middleweight?
- We just have to flush him out.
759
01:15:59,100 --> 01:16:01,330
How?
760
01:16:01,402 --> 01:16:04,499
- Well, this is still America. Right?
- Yeah.
761
01:16:04,972 --> 01:16:07,505
Cash.
762
01:16:07,575 --> 01:16:08,900
A hundred thousand dollars?
763
01:16:08,990 --> 01:16:11,206
The biggest purse
in American history.
764
01:16:11,279 --> 01:16:12,159
I sure hope so.
765
01:16:12,259 --> 01:16:15,440
You'd get every top
Eastern thoroughbred. All of'em!
766
01:16:15,516 --> 01:16:18,041
You'd put this place on the map.
767
01:16:18,119 --> 01:16:20,986
They might have all that
blue blood crap.
768
01:16:21,055 --> 01:16:23,182
Our money
is just as good as theirs.
769
01:16:23,257 --> 01:16:26,090
Charlie...
Doc, this is our moment.
770
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,061
Now, they're stuck in the past.
This is the future.
771
01:16:29,130 --> 01:16:31,496
Great.
772
01:16:31,566 --> 01:16:34,535
Come here.
What?
773
01:16:34,602 --> 01:16:36,695
Come on.
Don't you wanna see 'em?
774
01:16:36,771 --> 01:16:41,970
Pilin' off of those train cars.
Comin' out here to your track.
775
01:16:43,077 --> 01:16:46,046
Huh? That's victory
in itself.
776
01:16:46,114 --> 01:16:47,877
Doc?
777
01:16:47,949 --> 01:16:51,077
That's...
That's the finish line right there.
778
01:16:53,154 --> 01:16:55,213
You sell cars like this?
779
01:16:55,289 --> 01:16:57,023
Hundreds of'em.
780
01:16:57,091 --> 01:16:59,782
Hold your horses! Hold your horses!
Just when you thought you'd seen it all,
781
01:16:59,860 --> 01:17:01,827
Doc Strub has gone
and raided the cookie jar.
782
01:17:01,897 --> 01:17:04,729
Yes, he has smashed the piggy bank
and sold the family silver.
783
01:17:04,829 --> 01:17:06,961
$100,000 for one horse race?
784
01:17:07,034 --> 01:17:09,594
Makes me wanna walk around on all fours
and throw a saddle on my back.
785
01:17:09,670 --> 01:17:12,133
Will the Biscuit be the favorite?
Not likely, folks.
786
01:17:12,233 --> 01:17:13,697
We're about to be invaded.
787
01:17:13,775 --> 01:17:16,369
We're talking Derby winners,
788
01:17:16,444 --> 01:17:18,435
Preakness winners,
Belmont winners.
789
01:17:19,514 --> 01:17:21,709
Hold on, hold on.
I guess that's all one horse.
790
01:17:21,783 --> 01:17:22,865
But at 100,000 bucks,
791
01:17:22,965 --> 01:17:25,048
how can the Admiral
not want to dock his ship...
792
01:17:25,119 --> 01:17:27,053
in this friendly port?
793
01:17:27,121 --> 01:17:30,490
This is Tick-Tock McGlaughlin live
from Clockers' Corner.
794
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:36,419
- They raised a hundred grand!
- Hey, how 'bout that hundred grander?
795
01:17:37,799 --> 01:17:39,733
No, thanks.
796
01:17:39,801 --> 01:17:41,894
Excuse me, boys.
797
01:17:41,969 --> 01:17:43,869
Shit!
Charles!
798
01:17:43,938 --> 01:17:47,135
Shit.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
799
01:17:47,208 --> 01:17:49,199
The hell with it.
We'll run him anyway.
800
01:17:49,277 --> 01:17:51,871
There are still going to be
the greatest horses in the world,
801
01:17:51,946 --> 01:17:54,574
and if we win this thing,
they're gonna have to face us.
802
01:17:54,649 --> 01:17:57,880
He's gonna have to face us.
803
01:18:05,626 --> 01:18:09,062
Okay. Special Agent's
pure speed.
804
01:18:09,130 --> 01:18:11,826
He's gonna go to the lead,
but he can't handle the distance.
805
01:18:11,899 --> 01:18:14,197
So don't get sucked in.
I won't.
806
01:18:14,268 --> 01:18:16,429
Indian Broom
could be there too.
807
01:18:16,504 --> 01:18:20,941
We'll know they're holdin' him back
if they use the ring bit.
808
01:18:21,008 --> 01:18:26,002
Now, the one to worry about
is Rosemont.
809
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:28,674
He closes
like a freight train,
810
01:18:28,749 --> 01:18:30,910
and he'll fight you for it
at the end.
811
01:18:30,985 --> 01:18:33,180
You gotta have
some momentum built up...
812
01:18:33,254 --> 01:18:35,814
by the time
he makes his move.
813
01:18:35,890 --> 01:18:39,155
It's still kind of soggy out there
from the other day,
814
01:18:39,227 --> 01:18:42,958
so try to stay off the rail
where it's deep.
815
01:18:44,031 --> 01:18:46,022
I figured I'd sit back
about three wide.
816
01:18:46,100 --> 01:18:48,159
Yeah, that's fine.
817
01:18:49,837 --> 01:18:52,499
And other than that, just...
818
01:18:53,574 --> 01:18:55,508
just try to feel it.
819
01:18:57,578 --> 01:18:59,569
He'll tell you
when he's ready.
820
01:20:31,539 --> 01:20:33,734
Yeah, boy!
821
01:20:36,777 --> 01:20:38,244
Come on, Red!
822
01:20:44,552 --> 01:20:46,782
Ha! Ha!
823
01:20:56,530 --> 01:20:58,657
Yeah, come on.
Go! Go!
824
01:21:07,041 --> 01:21:09,805
- Whoo-hoo!
- Watch him. Watch him.
825
01:21:15,082 --> 01:21:17,448
Come on! Come on!
826
01:21:26,427 --> 01:21:28,361
It's not my fault.
Not this time.
827
01:21:28,429 --> 01:21:30,920
- I told you look out for Rosemont.
- I thought I had it.
828
01:21:30,998 --> 01:21:33,159
You stopped ridin'!
I couldn't see him!
829
01:21:33,234 --> 01:21:35,896
What are you talkin' about?
He was flyin' up your tail!
830
01:21:35,970 --> 01:21:38,438
Yeah, well, I can't...
What?
831
01:21:38,506 --> 01:21:40,497
See out there!
832
01:21:47,848 --> 01:21:50,214
He lied to us.
What?
833
01:21:50,284 --> 01:21:53,619
He lied to us.
You want a jockey who lies to us?
834
01:21:53,787 --> 01:21:55,722
What do you mean?
835
01:21:56,290 --> 01:22:00,454
He can't see.
He's blind in one eye.
836
01:22:23,851 --> 01:22:25,910
It's fine, Tom.
837
01:22:28,022 --> 01:22:30,490
- It's fine?
- Yeah, it's fine.
838
01:22:34,528 --> 01:22:36,587
"You don't throw
a whole life away...
839
01:22:36,664 --> 01:22:39,929
just 'cause it's banged up
a little bit."
840
01:22:42,970 --> 01:22:44,961
Good night.
841
01:22:47,141 --> 01:22:50,235
All right, all right.
Hold it.
842
01:22:50,311 --> 01:22:52,279
Well, I guess
that little horse of theirs...
843
01:22:52,346 --> 01:22:54,576
turned out to be
a glorified claimer after all.
844
01:22:57,251 --> 01:23:01,182
Well, at least we don't have to deal with
this David and Goliath nonsense anymore.
845
01:23:01,255 --> 01:23:03,785
- Huh? Huh?
- You can say that again.
846
01:23:03,858 --> 01:23:07,054
- All right, boys. Let me through.
- Wait a minute. Mr. Riddle...
847
01:23:18,272 --> 01:23:20,263
The hell with it.
848
01:23:22,943 --> 01:23:24,877
Just a couple of announcements.
849
01:23:24,945 --> 01:23:28,938
First, Red Pollard will remain
Seabiscuit's jockey,
850
01:23:29,016 --> 01:23:30,950
now and forever.
851
01:23:31,018 --> 01:23:35,455
Second, if they're too scared to come
and race us, we're gonna go find them.
852
01:23:35,523 --> 01:23:38,253
We're gonna enter every race
where War Admiral is on the card,
853
01:23:38,325 --> 01:23:41,453
and if he scratches,
which he probably will,
854
01:23:41,529 --> 01:23:43,322
we'll enter the next race
he's on the card.
855
01:23:43,497 --> 01:23:47,228
And we won't come home until
we've faced him, win, lose or draw.
856
01:23:48,936 --> 01:23:51,666
You know,
857
01:23:51,739 --> 01:23:54,572
I'd rather have one horse like this
than a hundred War Admirals.
858
01:23:54,642 --> 01:23:58,601
- Thanks, fellas.
859
01:24:09,123 --> 01:24:11,353
Gotta see him!
Come on!
860
01:24:21,268 --> 01:24:24,237
Look, I, uh...
I really don't know what to say.
861
01:24:24,305 --> 01:24:26,239
Uh, we appreciate it.
862
01:24:26,307 --> 01:24:28,434
I'm sure the Biscuit
appreciates it too.
863
01:24:28,509 --> 01:24:31,603
He's just a little shy
about speaking in public.
864
01:24:31,679 --> 01:24:34,170
He'd thank you himself.
865
01:24:35,416 --> 01:24:39,284
I guess, uh,
you all are here today...
866
01:24:39,353 --> 01:24:42,550
because this is a horse
who won't give up.
867
01:24:42,623 --> 01:24:46,650
- That's right.
- Even when life beats him by a nose.
868
01:24:46,727 --> 01:24:48,820
That's right!
Ain't that the truth.
869
01:24:49,930 --> 01:24:53,661
But, heck,
everybody loses a couple.
870
01:24:53,734 --> 01:24:56,100
Yes, sir.
871
01:24:56,170 --> 01:24:59,037
And you either pack up and you go home,
or you keep fighting!
872
01:24:59,106 --> 01:25:00,698
Isn't that right?
Yeah!
873
01:25:00,774 --> 01:25:04,073
- That's right!
- That's right.
874
01:25:04,144 --> 01:25:06,669
Now,
875
01:25:06,747 --> 01:25:08,908
do you want to see a match race?
Yeah!
876
01:25:08,983 --> 01:25:11,577
- Yeah!
- You do?
877
01:25:11,752 --> 01:25:14,815
You wanna see
this young fella ridin' that horse?
878
01:25:14,888 --> 01:25:16,719
- Yeah!
- Yes!
879
01:25:16,790 --> 01:25:18,382
Seabiscuit!
880
01:25:21,562 --> 01:25:23,689
Extra! Extra!
Biscuit on the warpath!
881
01:25:23,764 --> 01:25:27,256
Will there be a match race?
It's all right here.
882
01:25:27,334 --> 01:25:29,802
Extra! Extra!
Biscuit on the warpath!
883
01:25:29,870 --> 01:25:31,861
I don't know what
they're so worried about.
884
01:25:31,939 --> 01:25:35,431
I mean, look at us.
Our horse is too small.
885
01:25:35,509 --> 01:25:37,568
Our jockey's too big.
886
01:25:37,645 --> 01:25:39,679
Our trainer is too old.
887
01:25:39,747 --> 01:25:41,461
Forgive me, Tom.
888
01:25:41,561 --> 01:25:43,475
And I'm too dumb
to know the difference!
889
01:25:43,550 --> 01:25:44,496
Yeah, Charlie!
890
01:25:44,596 --> 01:25:47,343
You'd think they'd want to race us
instead of running away!
891
01:25:47,421 --> 01:25:49,412
Yeah!
892
01:25:57,131 --> 01:26:00,897
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am staring at a swarm of humanity,
893
01:26:00,968 --> 01:26:04,233
a sea of hungry faces demanding
the match of a lifetime.
894
01:26:04,305 --> 01:26:07,240
They have come here tonight
in the cold, in the wind,
895
01:26:07,308 --> 01:26:10,106
In the chill of a late
October night.
896
01:26:10,177 --> 01:26:14,307
Let me just make my way over to one
of them so you can hear it for yourself.
897
01:26:14,381 --> 01:26:16,315
Excuse me. Excuse me.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
898
01:26:16,383 --> 01:26:18,317
Ma'am, ma'am, if I may.
899
01:26:18,385 --> 01:26:20,819
What brings you out here tonight
with your three small children,
900
01:26:20,888 --> 01:26:23,254
clamoring for a view
of this little horse?
901
01:26:23,324 --> 01:26:25,315
Because we want to see
a match race!
902
01:26:28,662 --> 01:26:31,256
I said, don't you think...
903
01:26:31,332 --> 01:26:33,323
Mr. Riddle
owes this country a...
904
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:35,231
Match race!
905
01:26:35,302 --> 01:26:38,738
Match race!
Match race! Match race!
906
01:26:38,806 --> 01:26:42,173
Match race!
Match race! Match race!
907
01:26:42,242 --> 01:26:44,472
Match race! Match race!
908
01:26:45,646 --> 01:26:47,580
Fine, but it's on my terms.
909
01:26:47,948 --> 01:26:49,479
Any terms you want.
910
01:26:49,550 --> 01:26:52,485
Mile and 3/16 ths.
I won't accept anything else.
911
01:26:52,553 --> 01:26:55,113
- All right.
- Want a walk-up start with a bell.
912
01:26:56,390 --> 01:26:58,449
We won't be using
any contraptions.
913
01:26:58,525 --> 01:27:00,959
You mean a starting gate?
914
01:27:02,629 --> 01:27:03,946
Fine.
915
01:27:04,146 --> 01:27:06,963
And we run it here,
at our home track.
916
01:27:07,034 --> 01:27:08,825
That's not negotiable.
917
01:27:10,070 --> 01:27:12,163
Mmm. Seems like
a nice enough place.
918
01:27:13,941 --> 01:27:17,432
Oh, I'm sure you'll find it
quite comfortable, Mr. Howard.
919
01:27:25,919 --> 01:27:28,183
Jesus Christ!
920
01:27:28,255 --> 01:27:31,088
I wanna be a horse.
921
01:27:31,158 --> 01:27:34,093
Well, you're almost
big enough.
922
01:27:34,161 --> 01:27:36,493
That's very funny.
923
01:27:36,563 --> 01:27:39,396
It doesn't even smell
like a barn.
924
01:27:39,466 --> 01:27:42,560
Hmm. They probably
deodorize it every morning.
925
01:27:42,636 --> 01:27:44,570
Well, they still crap.
926
01:27:47,207 --> 01:27:50,870
Well, they do.
They do.
927
01:27:50,944 --> 01:27:52,844
Over here, pal. Right over here!
928
01:27:52,913 --> 01:27:55,905
- There you go!
- This way. This way.
929
01:27:55,983 --> 01:27:57,917
Biscuit, here...
930
01:27:57,985 --> 01:27:59,919
Whoa!
What's that thing?
931
01:28:03,590 --> 01:28:05,751
They got us
in the servants' quarters.
932
01:28:05,826 --> 01:28:09,023
Is that him?
No.
933
01:28:11,064 --> 01:28:13,055
Bit too small.
934
01:28:15,669 --> 01:28:17,603
That's him.
935
01:28:19,907 --> 01:28:22,535
Oh, my God.
936
01:28:29,349 --> 01:28:32,614
Maybe he's the kind of horse
that just looks good in the paddock.
937
01:28:38,192 --> 01:28:40,660
Wow.
938
01:28:42,896 --> 01:28:45,057
We gotta get to the lead.
939
01:28:45,132 --> 01:28:47,293
Biscuit never goes
to the lead.
940
01:28:47,367 --> 01:28:51,701
I know, but...
we gotta teach him to break first.
941
01:28:51,772 --> 01:28:54,971
If that monster shakes loose,
942
01:28:55,042 --> 01:28:57,201
we'll never catch him.
943
01:28:58,278 --> 01:29:00,405
What, retrain him?
944
01:29:03,650 --> 01:29:06,244
We got two weeks.
945
01:29:14,127 --> 01:29:16,220
Excuse me.
946
01:29:16,296 --> 01:29:18,321
Uh,
947
01:29:18,398 --> 01:29:21,231
we'd like to buy
your bell.
948
01:29:23,303 --> 01:29:26,704
- They didn't tell me you were comin'.
- Oh, probably just an oversight.
949
01:29:26,773 --> 01:29:28,707
Do you want me
to turn on some lights?
950
01:29:28,775 --> 01:29:30,436
No. No.
No?
951
01:29:30,511 --> 01:29:35,380
Okay. It's a predatory
response.
952
01:29:35,449 --> 01:29:37,781
If I just brush it
past his flank,
953
01:29:37,851 --> 01:29:39,485
he'll bolt.
954
01:29:39,553 --> 01:29:41,803
We want to teach him
to do it with the bell.
955
01:29:41,803 --> 01:29:43,254
How far you want me to take him?
956
01:29:43,323 --> 01:29:46,781
A hundred feet.
Just so he learns to break first.
957
01:29:46,860 --> 01:29:49,192
Okay. Got it.
958
01:29:50,430 --> 01:29:53,422
- You ready?
- Ready.
959
01:30:17,291 --> 01:30:20,385
All right.
Here we go.
960
01:30:37,110 --> 01:30:41,240
Oh, come on, Tom!
When you gonna work that horse out?
961
01:30:42,549 --> 01:30:44,483
When he wakes up, I guess.
962
01:30:44,551 --> 01:30:47,384
Geez!
963
01:30:47,454 --> 01:30:49,251
For cryin' out loud!
964
01:30:50,924 --> 01:30:52,858
The whole track?
965
01:30:52,926 --> 01:30:55,554
I just want him
to do it once...
966
01:30:55,629 --> 01:30:57,654
with nothin'
in front of him.
967
01:30:57,731 --> 01:31:01,326
- Yeah, but I can't see out there.
- That's all right. He can.
968
01:31:01,401 --> 01:31:05,030
Aw, come on, Tom.
Tom, please. Wha...
969
01:31:05,105 --> 01:31:07,437
Why do you always
have to do this? Shit!
970
01:31:09,607 --> 01:31:10,999
Oh, great.
971
01:31:14,581 --> 01:31:16,606
Jesus Christ.
972
01:31:22,055 --> 01:31:24,046
Wow. Huh.
973
01:31:25,225 --> 01:31:27,420
Oh, my God.
974
01:31:39,339 --> 01:31:41,330
- Tim.
- Hey.
975
01:31:42,810 --> 01:31:45,774
Pumpkin. Hey.
976
01:31:45,846 --> 01:31:48,679
How ya doin', Pumpkin?
977
01:31:48,749 --> 01:31:51,217
Ohhh. Are you shy?
978
01:31:52,719 --> 01:31:54,778
Hey, Red?
979
01:31:57,491 --> 01:31:59,482
Oh, my gosh.
980
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,927
Yeah. Guess I should have used you
as a jockey instead of a groom.
981
01:32:03,997 --> 01:32:06,261
No, no. It was...
982
01:32:06,333 --> 01:32:08,267
That was great.
983
01:32:09,336 --> 01:32:11,327
Look, I-I'm in a little trouble.
984
01:32:11,405 --> 01:32:15,102
I got this horse over in Annex,
and I been tryin' to sell a share of him.
985
01:32:15,175 --> 01:32:17,075
Tough times and all?
986
01:32:17,144 --> 01:32:20,341
I was wonderin' if...
if maybe you'd breeze him for me.
987
01:32:20,414 --> 01:32:23,679
If folks saw
Red Pollard...
988
01:32:23,750 --> 01:32:26,218
Yeah. I'll breeze
your horse for you.
989
01:32:29,389 --> 01:32:31,323
It's on.
Good.
990
01:32:31,391 --> 01:32:33,955
Just take him for five furlongs
at around a minute-one.
991
01:32:34,027 --> 01:32:36,696
- Can he do that?
- Should.
992
01:32:41,501 --> 01:32:43,492
Try it now.
993
01:32:53,113 --> 01:32:55,775
Okay, try it again.
994
01:32:58,285 --> 01:33:01,152
Whoa! Whoa!
995
01:33:01,221 --> 01:33:04,122
Easy! Easy! Easy!
996
01:33:16,803 --> 01:33:20,534
Aaah!
997
01:33:22,075 --> 01:33:24,134
- Stop it!
- Whoa!
998
01:33:58,179 --> 01:34:01,827
Look, most of the damage
was restricted to his leg.
999
01:34:01,927 --> 01:34:03,176
How bad is it?
1000
01:34:03,250 --> 01:34:06,242
God, I don't know.
It's, uh, shattered.
1001
01:34:06,319 --> 01:34:08,913
Eleven, 12 breaks.
Something like that.
1002
01:34:08,989 --> 01:34:12,254
We're gonna
have to operate.
1003
01:34:12,325 --> 01:34:14,520
Just sit tight for me.
1004
01:34:55,902 --> 01:34:58,336
Well, we're all done.
1005
01:34:58,405 --> 01:35:01,499
He'll always limp, but, uh,
it looks like he's gonna walk again.
1006
01:35:01,575 --> 01:35:04,976
W-Will he ride?
1007
01:35:05,145 --> 01:35:07,843
No, he's not gonna ride.
1008
01:35:07,914 --> 01:35:11,509
- Y-You're sure?
- He won't ride. He's gonna walk.
1009
01:35:11,585 --> 01:35:13,712
You take care.
1010
01:35:13,787 --> 01:35:15,778
Th... Thank you.
1011
01:35:19,659 --> 01:35:21,320
Hey.
1012
01:35:21,394 --> 01:35:24,227
Uh, you should see
the other guy.
1013
01:35:24,297 --> 01:35:25,494
You're gonna be fine.
1014
01:35:25,594 --> 01:35:28,791
Couple of months,
you're gonna be up and around like new.
1015
01:35:29,469 --> 01:35:33,533
I'm the one who makes up the stories,
remember?
1016
01:35:35,208 --> 01:35:37,199
Well, yeah.
1017
01:35:37,277 --> 01:35:40,110
Uh, maybe a little longer
than that.
1018
01:35:40,180 --> 01:35:42,171
Yeah.
1019
01:35:44,751 --> 01:35:49,120
Look, I, uh... I think we're
gonna have to scratch.
1020
01:35:49,189 --> 01:35:52,716
No.
No, don't scratch.
1021
01:35:52,792 --> 01:35:55,886
Son, he's a great horse,
but he can't run by himself.
1022
01:35:55,962 --> 01:35:58,863
Don't scratch.
1023
01:36:04,304 --> 01:36:07,637
Call Woolf.
1024
01:36:07,707 --> 01:36:11,837
- Son, nobody's riding...
- It's okay.
1025
01:36:11,912 --> 01:36:13,971
Call him.
1026
01:36:14,047 --> 01:36:15,581
Are you gonna scratch?
1027
01:36:15,649 --> 01:36:17,783
No, we're not gonna scratch.
1028
01:36:17,851 --> 01:36:21,214
Red Pollard wants Seabiscuit to win this
race more than anything in the world.
1029
01:36:21,288 --> 01:36:23,188
He wouldn't let us scratch.
1030
01:36:23,256 --> 01:36:25,816
Thank you much.
I appreciate it.
1031
01:36:25,892 --> 01:36:28,383
You're welcome.
1032
01:36:28,461 --> 01:36:31,161
The Iceman cometh!
What a pinch hitter.
1033
01:36:31,231 --> 01:36:33,300
Why, it's like getting Babe Ruth
off the bench.
1034
01:36:33,311 --> 01:36:35,892
Nerves of steel,
ice water in his veins.
1035
01:36:35,968 --> 01:36:37,002
Why, George Woolf is...
1036
01:36:37,070 --> 01:36:38,404
Irrelevant.
1037
01:36:38,472 --> 01:36:41,764
They can get the Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse as far as I'm concerned.
1038
01:36:41,842 --> 01:36:43,199
Won't make any difference.
1039
01:36:43,205 --> 01:36:46,169
War Admiral is a superior horse
with superior breeding.
1040
01:36:46,246 --> 01:36:48,771
Doesn't matter
who the passenger is.
1041
01:36:51,318 --> 01:36:53,479
He's got a strong left lead,
Georgie.
1042
01:36:53,553 --> 01:36:55,714
Banks like
a friggin' airplane.
1043
01:36:55,789 --> 01:36:59,489
He might need help switching to it, so
ease him off the rail just before the turn.
1044
01:36:59,759 --> 01:37:02,594
- Like you did in the Gold Cup.
- Exactly.
1045
01:37:02,662 --> 01:37:05,426
He needs a good warm-up,
so take him out slow.
1046
01:37:05,498 --> 01:37:08,126
When you do ask him,
don't use the whip.
1047
01:37:08,201 --> 01:37:12,103
Just flick it twice, show him it's there.
He'll know it's time.
1048
01:37:12,172 --> 01:37:15,107
Right.
1049
01:37:15,175 --> 01:37:18,542
And, um, never on the left side.
1050
01:37:18,611 --> 01:37:21,944
They hit him on the left side
when he was a baby.
1051
01:37:22,015 --> 01:37:25,246
I wish it was you, Johnny.
Aw, come on.
1052
01:37:25,318 --> 01:37:28,378
I'll be right there with you.
1053
01:37:30,256 --> 01:37:32,816
Aaah!
1054
01:37:32,892 --> 01:37:36,157
Ay, ya, ya, ya, ya!
1055
01:37:37,964 --> 01:37:41,957
Great. Now, show him the stick
at the quarter pole,
1056
01:37:42,035 --> 01:37:44,936
and he'll give you
a whole new gear.
1057
01:37:49,476 --> 01:37:51,307
Okay, now,
1058
01:37:51,378 --> 01:37:54,836
force him to that left lead
a little earlier,
1059
01:37:54,914 --> 01:37:57,940
and he'll give you even more.
1060
01:38:00,186 --> 01:38:02,347
Great, now
1061
01:38:02,422 --> 01:38:04,287
shut the door.
1062
01:38:20,507 --> 01:38:21,654
Okay.
1063
01:38:21,754 --> 01:38:25,501
You know how Smith wants you
to fight for the lead by the first turn?
1064
01:38:25,578 --> 01:38:29,207
Yeah. We were workin'
with that bell.
1065
01:38:29,282 --> 01:38:32,342
- I was a little nervous about that.
- No, that's fine.
1066
01:38:32,419 --> 01:38:35,217
But you gotta give it up
on the backstretch.
1067
01:38:35,288 --> 01:38:38,553
Give it up?
Give him back the lead.
1068
01:38:39,859 --> 01:38:41,884
He fights for it, Georgie.
1069
01:38:41,961 --> 01:38:45,260
If you bring him head to head
with that other horse,
1070
01:38:45,331 --> 01:38:47,492
and he looks him in the eye,
1071
01:38:47,567 --> 01:38:50,035
there's no way
he loses that race.
1072
01:38:50,103 --> 01:38:54,005
You just hold him
through that final turn...
1073
01:38:54,074 --> 01:38:56,736
and let him get
a good look at the Admiral.
1074
01:38:56,810 --> 01:38:59,574
Then let him go.
1075
01:38:59,646 --> 01:39:03,241
It's not in his feet, Georgie.
1076
01:39:03,316 --> 01:39:05,910
It's right here.
1077
01:39:11,224 --> 01:39:13,692
By 10:00 a.m.
The closest place to park...
1078
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:15,853
was 15 blocks away.
1079
01:39:15,929 --> 01:39:18,864
The volume of refreshments alone
was staggering.
1080
01:39:18,932 --> 01:39:21,730
Seventeen thousand gallons
of lemonade.
1081
01:39:21,801 --> 01:39:24,668
Sixty thousand hot dogs.
1082
01:39:24,737 --> 01:39:27,865
Two thousand kegs of beer.
1083
01:39:27,941 --> 01:39:29,932
NBC broadcast the race,
1084
01:39:30,009 --> 01:39:33,706
and businesses around America
scheduled a half day of work...
1085
01:39:33,780 --> 01:39:35,907
so their employees
could hear the call,
1086
01:39:35,982 --> 01:39:39,315
thanks, in part, to a missive
fired by Mr. Howard only the day before.
1087
01:39:39,385 --> 01:39:42,047
Look, I know this is
a fancy track and all,
1088
01:39:42,122 --> 01:39:44,454
but I think they oughta
open up the infield...
1089
01:39:44,524 --> 01:39:47,357
so normal folks
can come see the race.
1090
01:39:47,427 --> 01:39:50,225
You shouldn't have to be rich
to enjoy something like this.
1091
01:39:50,296 --> 01:39:54,528
Seabiscuit entered the race
a two-to-one underdog,
1092
01:39:54,601 --> 01:39:57,536
but you would never know it
from the growing noise in the infield.
1093
01:39:57,604 --> 01:39:59,231
Get your program!
1094
01:39:59,305 --> 01:40:02,468
By the time it was over,
more than 40 million Americans...
1095
01:40:02,542 --> 01:40:04,908
would hear the call.
1096
01:40:04,978 --> 01:40:09,312
Okay, it's... it's still
kinda soggy at the rail,
1097
01:40:09,382 --> 01:40:12,545
so try to keep him
out of there.
1098
01:40:12,619 --> 01:40:16,248
There's a dry tractor tread
about five feet out off the fence.
1099
01:40:16,322 --> 01:40:19,314
I walked the track
this morning.
1100
01:40:19,392 --> 01:40:21,656
Good. Good.
1101
01:40:21,728 --> 01:40:26,461
Now, he oughta break
just like we worked on.
1102
01:40:28,001 --> 01:40:31,835
But, um,
there's one more thing.
1103
01:40:31,905 --> 01:40:34,897
What? Let him catch me
on the backstretch?
1104
01:40:36,142 --> 01:40:39,077
You're not the only one
who knows this horse.
1105
01:40:42,649 --> 01:40:44,514
Safe trip, George.
1106
01:40:44,584 --> 01:40:47,417
And a short one.
Let's go, Sam.
1107
01:40:55,261 --> 01:40:57,923
Charley!
George. Huh.
1108
01:40:57,997 --> 01:41:00,431
The two jockeys have
acknowledged each other.
1109
01:41:00,500 --> 01:41:03,731
It's a quick hello,
like boxers touching gloves.
1110
01:41:03,803 --> 01:41:06,135
Come on, George.
This is no time for small talk.
1111
01:41:06,206 --> 01:41:09,698
Both the horses are now on the main track,
and you can hear the roar from the crowd.
1112
01:41:33,299 --> 01:41:35,563
There he is!
1113
01:42:44,170 --> 01:42:46,968
It's Seabiscuit by a nose,
now by a head.
1114
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:51,636
He's leading War Admiral,
pressing on him a neck behind.
1115
01:42:51,711 --> 01:42:56,478
They fly toward the clubhouse turn.
Who will be into it first?
1116
01:42:56,549 --> 01:43:00,576
It's Seabiscuit, and he was there first
and driving for the backstretch!
1117
01:43:08,761 --> 01:43:12,788
Now, coming into the backstretch,
it's Seabiscuit.
1118
01:43:12,865 --> 01:43:16,062
Going down the backstretch.
1119
01:43:30,983 --> 01:43:33,781
Now, back him off, son.
Back him off. Back him off.
1120
01:43:36,723 --> 01:43:39,590
Come on back, George.
Come on, come on, come on.
1121
01:43:39,659 --> 01:43:43,561
Now on the backstretch,
Seabiscuit still with the lead.
1122
01:43:43,629 --> 01:43:45,927
Come on, Georgie.
Don't fool around.
1123
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,436
I sure hope you're right, Red.
Here we go.
1124
01:43:51,504 --> 01:43:53,438
Easy, Pops.
1125
01:43:59,278 --> 01:44:01,212
Goddamn it, Johnny.
1126
01:44:11,524 --> 01:44:15,590
It's now War Admiral!
It's War Admiral!
1127
01:44:15,662 --> 01:44:20,096
It's Seabiscuit and War Admiral, neck
and neck as they go down the backstretch!
1128
01:44:25,972 --> 01:44:29,305
Close, Pops.
Easy, Pops.
1129
01:44:30,710 --> 01:44:33,338
That's it.
Whoo.
1130
01:44:39,318 --> 01:44:42,344
It's Seabiscuit. Now War Admiral!
Now Seabiscuit! Now War Admiral!
1131
01:44:42,422 --> 01:44:44,219
Not going now, Pops.
1132
01:44:59,605 --> 01:45:01,698
Do it.
1133
01:45:01,774 --> 01:45:03,765
Do it now.
Come on, George!
1134
01:45:03,843 --> 01:45:06,937
- Turn him loose. Turn him loose.
- Do it now, George!
1135
01:45:08,614 --> 01:45:10,775
So long, Charley!
1136
01:45:10,850 --> 01:45:13,011
Hyah!
1137
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:18,420
- Turn him loose!
- Here comes Seabiscuit!
1138
01:45:23,429 --> 01:45:26,262
It's Seabiscuit going away!
1139
01:45:29,101 --> 01:45:31,968
Come on, Biscuit!
1140
01:45:45,952 --> 01:45:49,149
Yes! Yes! Whoo! Yes!
1141
01:46:52,418 --> 01:46:54,477
Congratulations.
1142
01:46:54,554 --> 01:46:56,988
- Amazing.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
1143
01:46:57,056 --> 01:47:00,048
Iceman, you did it.
How does it feel?
1144
01:47:00,126 --> 01:47:00,922
Well, I just wish
1145
01:47:00,942 --> 01:47:03,459
my good friend Red Pollard
was up here today instead of me.
1146
01:47:03,529 --> 01:47:05,520
He will be.
1147
01:47:09,502 --> 01:47:13,802
This concludes our radio broadcast
of the race of the century.
1148
01:47:13,873 --> 01:47:17,240
Now a word from our sponsor,
the American Oil Company.
1149
01:47:17,310 --> 01:47:20,711
Money can't buy
a finer motor oil...
1150
01:47:38,798 --> 01:47:41,358
Easy does it.
1151
01:47:41,434 --> 01:47:44,460
Watch it. Wa...
Watch those wheels.
1152
01:48:37,790 --> 01:48:39,561
All hail the conquering hero.
1153
01:48:39,571 --> 01:48:41,453
Yes, folks, he's back.
The little engine that could.
1154
01:48:41,527 --> 01:48:44,010
No more match races for this
little pony because, quite frankly,
1155
01:48:44,060 --> 01:48:45,293
they're all outta matches.
1156
01:48:45,364 --> 01:48:48,959
Who's he gonna race? Pegasus?
I pity these other horses. Heh.
1157
01:50:44,817 --> 01:50:47,149
When will they know?
I don't know.
1158
01:50:47,219 --> 01:50:50,780
Maybe an hour. I'm not sure.
Charles is with the vet right now.
1159
01:50:53,092 --> 01:50:56,152
Does it hurt when he bends it? 'Cause
if it doesn't hurt when he bends it...
1160
01:50:56,228 --> 01:50:58,958
We don't know anything yet.
I'll call you as soon as we do.
1161
01:50:59,031 --> 01:51:01,522
I promise.
All right.
1162
01:51:06,272 --> 01:51:10,709
He was runnin' easy on me.
There was no warning.
1163
01:51:10,776 --> 01:51:13,574
He's gotta be all right.
He's gotta be all right.
1164
01:51:15,481 --> 01:51:17,847
Mr. Howard.
1165
01:51:23,956 --> 01:51:28,222
Well, he ruptured
a whole ligament.
1166
01:51:28,294 --> 01:51:31,354
I put a splint on him
just to keep him immobilized,
1167
01:51:31,430 --> 01:51:33,660
but right now
he's totally lame.
1168
01:51:35,401 --> 01:51:37,335
He's not gonna race again.
1169
01:51:41,740 --> 01:51:44,470
Look, um...
1170
01:51:45,544 --> 01:51:47,610
I know this is hard,
1171
01:51:47,626 --> 01:51:50,108
but I'll put him down for you
if you want me to.
1172
01:52:26,485 --> 01:52:29,579
Oh, that's okay, Pops.
I'll come to you.
1173
01:52:35,828 --> 01:52:37,819
Hey.
1174
01:52:50,709 --> 01:52:52,700
Mmm.
1175
01:53:10,229 --> 01:53:12,493
See,
1176
01:53:12,564 --> 01:53:16,295
first you gotta get
a little flexibility.
1177
01:53:16,368 --> 01:53:19,098
Yeah. Then you can
put weight on it.
1178
01:53:19,171 --> 01:53:21,271
Then once you
start to put weight on it,
1179
01:53:21,371 --> 01:53:23,471
the whole leg gets stronger.
1180
01:53:23,542 --> 01:53:27,069
I know. I know.
I'm in a hurry too, Pops.
1181
01:53:27,146 --> 01:53:30,115
But you know what Hadrian
said about Rome.
1182
01:53:30,182 --> 01:53:32,673
"Brick by brick, my citizens.
1183
01:53:32,751 --> 01:53:34,844
Brick by brick."
1184
01:53:36,322 --> 01:53:38,586
See,
1185
01:53:38,657 --> 01:53:40,784
they're Arabians,
1186
01:53:40,859 --> 01:53:43,089
so they don't need
to drink.
1187
01:53:43,162 --> 01:53:47,326
These horses can go
five or six days...
1188
01:53:47,399 --> 01:53:51,062
without a drop of water,
like a camel.
1189
01:53:51,136 --> 01:53:54,833
Oh. I'm not sayin'
that's what you should do.
1190
01:53:54,907 --> 01:53:58,707
I'm just saying
that's what they do.
1191
01:54:00,813 --> 01:54:03,304
Oh, good idea.
1192
01:54:04,516 --> 01:54:07,110
Take a little rest.
1193
01:54:44,656 --> 01:54:45,490
I don't know, Red.
1194
01:54:46,058 --> 01:54:48,591
We're just gonna walk in a circle.
1195
01:54:48,991 --> 01:54:51,024
You think the leg will hold you?
1196
01:54:51,897 --> 01:54:54,991
Horse weighs 1,200 pounds, Sam.
I'm an afterthought.
1197
01:54:55,067 --> 01:54:57,035
No, I mean your leg.
1198
01:55:03,442 --> 01:55:07,538
Here comes Seabiscuit
charging down the lane,
1199
01:55:07,613 --> 01:55:10,446
picking off competition
one by one.
1200
01:55:10,516 --> 01:55:13,110
He's third! Now second!
1201
01:55:13,185 --> 01:55:15,119
Now first!
1202
01:55:15,187 --> 01:55:17,781
And it's Seabiscuit at the wire...
1203
01:55:17,856 --> 01:55:22,259
to win the Santa Anita Handicap
with Red Pollard aboard! Yes!
1204
01:55:27,366 --> 01:55:29,357
Nice.
1205
01:55:42,714 --> 01:55:44,705
What?
1206
01:55:59,398 --> 01:56:01,389
Whoa!
1207
01:56:01,467 --> 01:56:03,992
Whoa, Pops. Easy.
1208
01:56:07,573 --> 01:56:09,973
Whoa.
1209
01:56:10,042 --> 01:56:13,068
Wow. Wow, Pops.
1210
01:56:13,145 --> 01:56:15,773
You feel better,
don't you, boy?
1211
01:56:21,420 --> 01:56:24,253
It's okay, Sam.
I'm just gonna mow the lawn a little bit.
1212
01:56:24,323 --> 01:56:26,814
Fine with me, Red.
1213
01:56:37,169 --> 01:56:41,003
Way to go!
All right.
1214
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:51,040
Looking good.
Yeah, you're great, man!
1215
01:56:52,918 --> 01:56:56,410
Whoo!
1216
01:57:34,293 --> 01:57:36,261
Is it even possible?
Sure.
1217
01:57:36,328 --> 01:57:38,387
Most folks
don't give it a chance.
1218
01:57:38,463 --> 01:57:40,556
Most folks just...
1219
01:57:41,701 --> 01:57:43,451
The best thing to do
1220
01:57:43,551 --> 01:57:47,102
is get him down there
and let him gallop a little.
1221
01:57:47,172 --> 01:57:49,250
That's the only way
we're really gonna know.
1222
01:57:49,270 --> 01:57:50,869
Can he handle that?
1223
01:57:50,943 --> 01:57:53,741
Sure.
I mean, I-I think so.
1224
01:58:16,235 --> 01:58:18,863
He worked great.
I couldn't feel a thing.
1225
01:58:18,937 --> 01:58:22,270
Why don't we give him
a full work on Friday morning.
1226
01:58:22,341 --> 01:58:24,935
Maybe six furlongs.
See what we got.
1227
01:58:25,010 --> 01:58:27,308
Sure. I'll be here.
1228
01:58:27,379 --> 01:58:29,438
Thanks, George.
You're welcome.
1229
01:58:31,550 --> 01:58:33,541
Comin' along.
1230
01:58:35,153 --> 01:58:37,417
Could he be ready?
1231
01:58:37,489 --> 01:58:41,220
For what?
Come on. You know what.
1232
01:58:48,533 --> 01:58:51,331
Top of the morning to you.
1233
01:58:51,403 --> 01:58:54,263
That's, uh...
That's a nice colt. Who is he?
1234
01:58:54,339 --> 01:58:56,170
Just a two-year-old.
He's not ready yet.
1235
01:58:56,370 --> 01:58:57,702
Ah.
1236
01:58:57,776 --> 01:59:00,139
I thought maybe you were getting
a horse ready for the hundred grander.
1237
01:59:00,213 --> 01:59:03,345
- No.
- Just a two-year-old.
1238
01:59:05,250 --> 01:59:06,911
Hair of the dog.
1239
01:59:09,154 --> 01:59:11,679
- You been here long?
- No. Just got here.
1240
01:59:11,757 --> 01:59:14,749
Catching up
on my reading.
1241
01:59:14,826 --> 01:59:18,184
- Well, I'm sure I'll see you soon.
- Okeydokey.
1242
01:59:22,767 --> 01:59:25,159
Stop the presses!
Stop the presses!
1243
01:59:25,237 --> 01:59:26,571
This isn't a scoop, folks.
1244
01:59:26,639 --> 01:59:29,720
This is three scoops
with hot fudge and a cherry on top.
1245
01:59:29,742 --> 01:59:33,873
And throw in some nuts,
'cause this little horse drives me crazy!
1246
01:59:34,845 --> 01:59:37,542
Guess who may be working
six furlongs next Friday.
1247
01:59:37,616 --> 01:59:39,146
Guess who may be shooting
for the Big 'Cap.
1248
01:59:39,246 --> 01:59:40,776
Oh, my! Saints alive!
1249
01:59:40,852 --> 01:59:43,116
You guessed it.
Man, oh, man!
1250
01:59:43,188 --> 01:59:45,782
Did you ever guess it!
1251
01:59:59,638 --> 02:00:04,439
A minute-12, minute-13.
Something like that.
1252
02:00:04,509 --> 02:00:06,841
He starts to labor,
just slow it down.
1253
02:00:06,912 --> 02:00:10,746
Try and see how he feels...
Oh, oh. Whoa, whoa.
1254
02:00:10,816 --> 02:00:12,408
Got you.
1255
02:00:22,728 --> 02:00:25,720
That's all right, Pops.
That's okay, boy. That's okay.
1256
02:00:25,797 --> 02:00:28,425
Come here. It's okay.
1257
02:00:38,944 --> 02:00:42,937
And this, the most
unkindest cut of all.
1258
02:00:45,751 --> 02:00:49,118
Red.
Red, let me talk to you.
1259
02:00:49,187 --> 02:00:50,578
- Talk to me?
- You can't... Red!
1260
02:00:50,656 --> 02:00:53,489
You can't do it! You could be
crippled for the rest of your life.
1261
02:00:53,559 --> 02:00:55,592
I was crippled for the rest of my life.
1262
02:00:55,692 --> 02:00:57,526
I got better.
1263
02:00:57,596 --> 02:01:01,293
He made me better.
Hell, you made me better.
1264
02:01:04,336 --> 02:01:07,533
Jesus Christ.
Red...
1265
02:01:09,775 --> 02:01:13,643
And that's as much my horse
as it is yours.
1266
02:01:21,820 --> 02:01:25,483
That's pretty quick.
Goddamn it.
1267
02:01:25,857 --> 02:01:28,993
- It's up to him, Red.
- Yeah, but if he says that I can't...
1268
02:01:29,060 --> 02:01:32,223
He's the doctor.
It's up to him.
1269
02:01:34,366 --> 02:01:36,300
You made this?
1270
02:01:36,368 --> 02:01:38,427
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
1271
02:01:38,503 --> 02:01:41,438
It... It wraps around
my riding boot,
1272
02:01:41,506 --> 02:01:44,168
- fasten it all the way up the calf.
- Right.
1273
02:01:44,242 --> 02:01:47,575
I barely feel anything
in the stirrups.
1274
02:01:53,351 --> 02:01:55,809
Look,
it could shatter at any moment,
1275
02:01:55,888 --> 02:01:58,203
even right now.
Forget about racing.
1276
02:01:58,303 --> 02:02:01,018
You see that right there?
That's barely healed.
1277
02:02:01,092 --> 02:02:05,791
There's no way to know how much
weight it could hold under stress.
1278
02:02:05,864 --> 02:02:10,801
If it gets reinjured,
it's possible he could never walk again.
1279
02:02:11,069 --> 02:02:14,703
Possible. He just said
it was possible.
1280
02:02:14,773 --> 02:02:17,867
Well, hell, anything's possible.
We proved that already, didn't we?
1281
02:02:17,943 --> 02:02:21,470
- This is different.
- Yeah! This is really different.
1282
02:02:25,250 --> 02:02:29,744
It's not just a race.
It's the Santa Anita.
1283
02:02:29,821 --> 02:02:32,483
I had that race.
I was there.
1284
02:02:32,557 --> 02:02:34,491
I know.
1285
02:02:39,631 --> 02:02:44,227
♪ If I had a million dollars ♪
1286
02:02:44,302 --> 02:02:47,328
What's going on?
1287
02:02:56,748 --> 02:03:01,082
Well, even... even with the brace,
it'll barely hold him.
1288
02:03:01,152 --> 02:03:03,213
If he gets bumped,
if he gets jostled...
1289
02:03:03,288 --> 02:03:06,449
- Do you want to know what I think?
- Of course.
1290
02:03:06,525 --> 02:03:10,618
I think it's better to break a man's leg
than his heart.
1291
02:03:12,964 --> 02:03:15,358
- It's not just the leg. It's not!
- Okay.
1292
02:03:15,434 --> 02:03:18,029
Mar, he could fall.
He could get trampled.
1293
02:03:18,303 --> 02:03:21,361
- If he gets thrown from that horse...
- He could die?
1294
02:03:33,919 --> 02:03:38,049
You know,
I play with this thing all the time too.
1295
02:03:39,925 --> 02:03:43,259
And no matter how hard I try, I can't get
that damn ball to stay in the hole.
1296
02:03:45,764 --> 02:03:47,925
It always rolls out again.
1297
02:03:55,407 --> 02:03:58,740
Just let him ride, Charles.
1298
02:03:59,911 --> 02:04:01,970
Just let him do it.
1299
02:04:09,220 --> 02:04:12,519
Jumpin' Jehoshaphat, I could handle
one comeback, but this is ridiculous.
1300
02:04:12,591 --> 02:04:13,930
Who's next... Lazarus?
1301
02:04:13,954 --> 02:04:16,618
Oh, the heroism,
the madness, the excitement.
1302
02:04:16,695 --> 02:04:19,255
The largest crowd
ever to see a race at Santa Anita!
1303
02:04:19,331 --> 02:04:22,459
Fifty-five thousand in the stands,
20,000 in the infield,
1304
02:04:22,534 --> 02:04:24,968
and it's only 12:00!
1305
02:04:42,854 --> 02:04:44,788
It's not bad.
1306
02:04:46,825 --> 02:04:49,259
St. Christopher.
1307
02:04:49,327 --> 02:04:51,352
For luck.
1308
02:04:51,429 --> 02:04:53,829
A little late for that,
don't you think?
1309
02:05:01,272 --> 02:05:04,332
All right.
Let's go win us a race.
1310
02:05:19,924 --> 02:05:22,586
Ready?
Yup.
1311
02:05:37,742 --> 02:05:39,676
Whichcee's the speed.
1312
02:05:39,744 --> 02:05:42,736
He's gonna be
out on the lead, but...
1313
02:05:42,814 --> 02:05:45,305
I don't think
he'll handle the distance.
1314
02:05:45,383 --> 02:05:47,715
Just stalk him
like always.
1315
02:05:47,786 --> 02:05:50,186
Right.
1316
02:05:50,255 --> 02:05:52,587
Wedding Call
could make a late run.
1317
02:05:52,657 --> 02:05:54,591
Now, he's got some guts,
1318
02:05:54,659 --> 02:05:58,151
so look out for him too.
Won't make that mistake again.
1319
02:06:03,101 --> 02:06:06,662
Relax, guys.
It's gonna be fine.
1320
02:06:06,738 --> 02:06:09,332
Okay.
1321
02:06:33,865 --> 02:06:35,599
- Charles, it's gonna be great.
- Thank you, Frank.
1322
02:06:35,799 --> 02:06:37,834
- Hope so.
- Bless you.
1323
02:06:38,303 --> 02:06:40,794
- Good luck, Mr. Howard.
- Thank you.
1324
02:06:48,813 --> 02:06:51,008
Good luck.
You're lookin' good.
1325
02:06:51,082 --> 02:06:53,073
Well, I feel fine.
1326
02:06:55,453 --> 02:06:59,617
Relax. Buy you a couple
of drinks, huh?
1327
02:06:59,691 --> 02:07:02,319
That's a good idea.
1328
02:07:02,393 --> 02:07:04,384
Who you bettin' on?
1329
02:07:50,175 --> 02:07:52,109
Hey, old man.
1330
02:07:52,177 --> 02:07:55,250
- What are you doing here?
- Got another mount.
1331
02:07:55,279 --> 02:07:57,742
Just 'cause I'm not riding him
doesn't mean I'm gonna sit it out.
1332
02:07:58,616 --> 02:08:02,185
Don't worry.
I don't stand a chance.
1333
02:08:02,353 --> 02:08:04,787
I'll see you at the finish.
1334
02:08:54,572 --> 02:08:57,336
Aaah.
1335
02:09:05,350 --> 02:09:07,716
Aaah.
1336
02:09:23,101 --> 02:09:25,035
Come on, boy.
1337
02:09:25,103 --> 02:09:27,731
Come on. Come on!
1338
02:09:33,544 --> 02:09:36,741
Hyah!
Come on! Go!
1339
02:09:56,267 --> 02:09:58,901
- How you doin', Red?
- Georgie.
1340
02:09:58,970 --> 02:10:01,598
You guys all right?
1341
02:10:04,375 --> 02:10:06,943
There you go, boy.
1342
02:10:08,680 --> 02:10:11,410
There it is.
Have a nice ride, Johnny.
1343
02:10:14,252 --> 02:10:17,847
Come on, Pops.
Ha! Ha!
1344
02:10:20,725 --> 02:10:23,416
Go on with it, Johnny!
Go on!
1345
02:10:33,004 --> 02:10:34,869
Come on, Red!
1346
02:10:42,714 --> 02:10:46,514
Whoo-hoo!
There it is, boy.
1347
02:10:46,584 --> 02:10:48,609
Come on, Biscuit!
1348
02:11:22,987 --> 02:11:27,481
You know, everybody thinks we found
this broken-down horse and fixed him,
1349
02:11:28,493 --> 02:11:31,155
but we didn't.
1350
02:11:32,663 --> 02:11:34,654
He fixed us.
1351
02:11:36,067 --> 02:11:38,194
Every one of us.
1352
02:11:40,104 --> 02:11:42,163
And I guess, in a way,
1353
02:11:43,741 --> 02:11:46,733
we kind of fixed each other too.
