Here's the story ....

ETA:
>"Both jockeys were suspended for the remainder of the meeting for foul riding. According to the testimony of the patrol judges and the presiding officials themselves, when he saw that Seabiscuit could not be beaten, Richardson reached over in the home stretch and grabbed Woolf's saddle cloth, and then his bridle-rein, thus impeding the horse and making it impossible for him to move away from Ligaroti."

"In retaliation, Woolf had used his whip on Richardson in order to loosen his hold. The horses themselves had committed no fault."<

Damn! I just looked this up ... Seabiscuit sure sired some serious warhorses!

Including Bart's Rock, who raced for 10 years and ran 211 career races!! Wow!!
