Another Seabiscuit?

Can Barbaro be another Seabiscuit?

Seabiscuit was a racehorse, legendary in his time, the most famous figure in tumultuous 1938. He and his favorite jockey Red Pollard both survived serious injuries to win their most important race.

Everyone loves the "underdog," and the entire Seabiscuit entourage could only be described as those who had suffered the worst life had offered. That was part of the magic. Barbaro doesn't seem to be in that category, but his owners are hoping at least to make something on their investment.

PS I love the Seabiscuit movie and the book, and I think it's the best job of editing of a long complex story into a great movie. I have it on DVD, and it was a good investment.
