内容简介:
Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular
attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in
the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or
Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing
establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse
with the sad tail. Three men changed Seabiscuit’s fortunes:
Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the
automobile to the western United States and became an overnight
millionaire. When he needed a trainer for his new racehorses, he
hired Tom Smith, a mysterious mustang breaker from the Colorado
plains. Smith urged Howard to buy Seabiscuit for a bargain-basement
price, then hired as his jockey Red Pollard, a failed boxer who was
blind in one eye, half-crippled, and prone to quoting passages from
Ralph Waldo Emerson. Over four years, these unlikely partners
survived a phenomenal run of bad fortune, conspiracy, and severe
injury to transform Seabiscuit from a neurotic, pathologically
indolent also-ran into an American sports icon.
Author Laura Hillenbrand brilliantly re-creates a universal
underdog story, one that proves life is a horse race.

编辑推荐
He didn't look like much. With his smallish stature,
knobby knees, and slightly crooked forelegs, he looked more like a
cow pony than a thoroughbred. But looks aren't everything; his
quality, an admirer once wrote, "was mostly in his heart." Laura
Hillenbrand tells the story of the horse who became a cultural icon
in Seabiscuit: An American Legend.
Seabiscuit rose to prominence with the help of an unlikely
triumvirate: owner Charles Howard, an automobile baron who once
declared that "the day of the horse is past"; trainer Tom Smith, a
man who "had cultivated an almost mystical communication with
horses"; and jockey Red Pollard, who was down on his luck when he
charmed a then-surly horse with his calm demeanor and a sugar cube.
Hillenbrand details the ups and downs of "team Seabiscuit," from
early training sessions to record-breaking victories, and from
serious injury to "Horse of the Year"--as well as the Biscuit's
fabled rivalry with War Admiral. She also describes the world of
horseracing in the 1930s, from the snobbery of Eastern journalists
regarding Western horses and public fascination with the great
thoroughbreds to the jockeys' torturous weight-loss regimens,
including saunas in rubber suits, strong purgatives, even
tapeworms.
Along the way, Hillenbrand paints wonderful images: tears in Tom
Smith's eyes as his hero, legendary trainer James Fitzsimmons,
asked to hold Seabiscuit's bridle while the horse was saddled;
critically injured Red Pollard, whose chest was crushed in a racing
accident a few weeks before, listening to the San Antonio Handicap
from his hospital bed, cheering "Get going, Biscuit! Get 'em, you
old devil!"; Seabiscuit happily posing for photographers for
several minutes on end; other horses refusing to work out with
Seabiscuit because he teased and taunted them with his blistering
speed.
Though sometimes her prose takes on a distinctly purple hue
("His history had the ethereal quality of hoofprints in windblown
snow"; "The California sunlight had the pewter cast of a declining
season"), Hillenbrand has crafted a delightful book. Wire to wire,
Seabiscuit is a winner. Highly recommended. --Sunny
