It was a cool, quiet evening at Calumet Farm, where the most valuable racehorses—including the prolific stallion Alydar—had settled into their stalls for the evening. Alton Stone, filling in for the regular night watchman, completed his rounds at the barn. Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary, an inexplicable hunch led Stone to check on Alydar. What he found—a grievously injured horse with no discernable cause—jump-started one of the biggest mysteries to ever hit the horse racing world.

Seabiscuit (May 23, 1933-May 17, 1947), foaled in Lexington, Kentucky, on May 23, 1933, from the mare Swing On and sire Hard Tack, a son of Man o' War, was a champion thoroughbred racehorse in the United States that became the top money-winning racehorse up to the 1940s. The following recordings include the Third, Fourth, and Six Annual Santa Anita Handicaps, a Match Race between Seabiscuit and Ligaroti, and a Match Race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral.
