...Seabiscuit, with Georgie Woolf up, zoom in front in the first few strides. At the first quarter Seabiscuit was two full lengths ahead. Then a roar swept over the ancient stands: pretty little War Admiral, the favorite, was closing the gap-one length, two lengths. At the half-mile post they were neck & neck; at the three-quarter post they looked like one horse against the autumn background...
