A Biscuit By Any Other Name Isn't a Seabiscuit

What an incredible movie!!! Sunday, my boss had everyone from our department out to see the new movie Seabiscuit. If you have not heard of the movie, I suggest you check it out. It's an amazing story of an "...undersized, crooked-legged racehorse owned by a bicycle repairman-turned-automobile magnate, trained by a virtually mute mustang breaker, and ridden by a half-blind failed prizefighter."
Sounds like a creative story huh? Well it's more than that even; It's a true story which covers the lives of the owner, the trainer, the jockey and the horse. All of which, succeed past there wildest dream in the face of almost certain failure. If there was ever a motivational story or movie this is the one. I recently began reading the book which inspired the movie. From what I've read so far as well as a documentary on the subject from PBS, I am quite surprised how accurate they made the movie. It's simply a fascinating story and I highly recommend it for horse lovers and lint lovers alike.

I say Chris Cooper for another Oscar on this one.
