Difference from other Champion Horses
He looked very different than other champion horses
He had a limping in his walk, a wheezing when he breathed, and was barely 15 hands
He was the opposite of most winners, that's what made people love and root for him, his "imperfection"

Seabiscuit's injuries
After the race Santa Anita he injured his left foreleg
It was so bad that no one thought he would race again
But when all hopes were down Seabiscuit pulled through, healed, and raced again

Seabiscuit's Friend
When he was young he wasn't treated right
So he was full of rage and "meaness" so they found a companion for him named Pumpkin
Seabiscuit and Pumpkin became friend's
They took Pumpkin to every one of Seabiscuit's races
