ending accident. Not long after Pollard's injury, Seabiscuit suffered a
suspensory injury to his foreleg during a race with jockey George
Woolf. It was assumed this was a career ending injury for the famed
racehorse. Both Pollard and Seabiscuit spent time healing and
rehabilitating at Charles Howard's Ridgewood Ranch near Willits,
California. As the two gained strength they began to consider the
unimaginable. Returning to the racetrack to pursue the win that had as
yet escaped them. The Santa Anita Handicap, also known as the "Hundred
Grander" for the purse which was attached to the race. Below is a link

Stan Watts and the
master mold makers and foundry men at Atlas Bronze Casting traveled to
the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga, New York
where they made a mold from the bronze Seabiscuit statue which stands
outside the National Racing Museum.
The mold was then taken to Atlas Bronze Casting Foundry in Kearns, Utah
where a replica bronze statue of Seabiscuit was cast and finished.
Sculptor Kim Corpany oversaw the production and finishing of this
wonderful bronze horse statue to ensure the quality of the replica of
Tex Wheeler's original sculpture. Tex Wheeler created his bronze statue
of Seabiscuit at Ridgewood Ranch, Seabiscuit's home near Willits,
California. Wheeler took measurements from the stallion's body and the
horse posed for the sculpture. Kim Corpany had the unique opportunity
of closely observing and taking measurements from Tex Wheeler's bronze
statue of Seabiscuit. She was then able to utilize this knowledge in
the creation of these wonderful sculptures of Seabiscuit.
