    Nice PBS documentary about Seabiscuit

    This was shown tonight and is very good. Perhaps this is old news, but this is an enjoyable documentary. Enjoy!

    This came out around the time the movie was released, and is, IMO, in many ways much better than the movie. One of my favorite segments of PBS's fine series, "The American Experience."

    I saw this the first time around, but definately worth a second look.

    If you haven't seen it yet, you may check to see if your local library owns it. I know mine does.

    I saw it last night and it was amazing. Much of it was rare and remastered film footage that I hadn't seen before. I agree it was better than the movie, primarily because it gave you a better sense of Seabiscuit himself...of his personality. I just loved the clips of Biscuit in the paddock, pre-race. He looked like he was half asleep.

    Thanks. Just checked yesterday's TV listing ... AE PBS show came on at 10:00PM with the history of the TB following it (I've seen that one) at 11:00PM. Oh well, it'll be back. I fell asleep watching the BOR show.

    speaking of Seabiscuit, since Noor's grave has been found and relocated-- will Seabiscuit grave EVER be told or kept as secret forever?

    I think if its kept as secret- there is always a risk of the land ending up sold and the grave lost forever.
