| Hi Laura, haven't read the book yet, but I will, Seabiscuit has been one of my favorite racehorses since I was kid. I have an original signed and dated picture of Seabiscuit. It is one of my favorites in my collection. Glad to see he is getting the recognition he deserves. |

| The best horse I have ever come across was a horse that we believed to be a son of SeaBiscuit. He was in his 20's when I asked a friend at a bloodstocking agency to see if any gelding matching his description and markings showed up. The closest match, without knowing the tatoo number of the horse in the computer was a son of SeaBiscuit. I have heard he was a great horse, which would explain why my gelding was so wonderful. I will read the book and hopefully learn more about my guy's heritage. Unfortunately he passed away a year and a half ago at the estimated age of 27. I miss him daily. |

| Laura: I absolutley loved this book. I cannot say enough about it to my friends and co-workers. For a person who has never gone to a racetrack, has never been interested in watching racehorses on TV, has never met a jockey or felt any interest in horsetrainers/owners, this held me rapt every night. Foremost in my mind was the description of the match race with War Admiral - I get butterflies in my stomach recalling your vivid description of the strain of the horses at start. Thank you for describing such a wonderful slice of Americana and such a interesting animal. |

| Hi Laura: Allow me to get the gushing out of the way. "Seabiscuit-An American Legend" is the finest book about thoroughbred racing in the last decade. Your blend of history and sport brings the horse and the people who worked with him to an immediacy that makes the book difficult to put down. This will be the rare racing book that will find a wide market beyond the world of the thoroughbred. Thanks for this gripping labor of love. John Angelo, racing writer for the Glens Falls (NY) Post-Star. |

| Laura, Thank You for doing what can only be described as a labour of love. I grew up in Arcadia. As a kid I spent hours silently sitting and staring at that magnificent statue of Seabiscuit at Santa Anita. It's amazing how this horse's life can inspire a kid who felt different or less than. Your book will be a godsend for a whole new generation of equinophiles. I look forward to many a good reading of what promises to be, surely, the definitive telling of of a unique American success story.Best Regards, cw |

| I can't wait to read this book - or see the movie. The Story of Seabiscuit, with Barry Fitzgerald & Shirley Temple, is one of my favorites; I hope the new movie is as good. |
