Laura Hillenbrand
“... the little horse had drawn more newspaper coverage in 1938 than Roosevelt, who was second, Hitler (third), Mussolini (fourth), or any other newsmaker. His match with War Admiral was almost certainly the single biggest news story of the year and one of the biggest sports moments of the century.”
Laura Hillenbrand, Seabiscuit: An American Legend

Mara Dabrishus
“Nothing is permanent, I tell myself over and over. Especially not a horse.”
Mara Dabrishus, Stay the Distance
