Canadian-born George Woolf, the jockey who rode the glorious Seabiscuit to victory against War Admiral in one of the most famous match races in history, has been honored by his home town with a statue, featuring Woolf atop his illustrious steed. Small Dead Animals has a photo and a link to the story (H/T: Captain Heinrichs).
Here’s a video of the 1938 race.
And if you haven’t read Laura Hillebrand’s book on Seabiscuit…well, what are you waiting for?
