SEABISCUIT AND GEORGE WOOLF
"Morning Workout"
Bronze Sculpture of Seabiscuit
Bronze Seabiscuit Statue by Equine Artist Kim Corpany and Stan Watts
Laura Hillenbrand's comments about this bronze statue of Seabiscuit:
When I saw it, I gasped with delight. Kim and Stan, you have done a stunning job with this piece; you have captured Seabiscuit just as he was, not just in his form, but in his personality, which radiates outward in such an authentic way. Charles and Marcela Howard would have been thrilled.
My decision to write about Seabiscuit altered the path of my life in myriad ways, the most wonderful of which has been the people to whom this little horse has led me. Having been the happy recipient of so much goodwill since I began this journey, I can't help but feel undeserving of any such honor as this. Thank you all so much for all of your generosity. This statue will grace my home forever, and it will always remind me of the kindness that all of you have shown me and the horse who brought joy to millions.
With profound gratitude,
Laura Hillenbrand

This 1/5 life size bronze sculpture shows the famous racehorse Seabiscuit and Jockey George Woolf "The Iceman" galloping.
This bronze portait sculpture is sculpted after Marcella Howard's favorite photo of Seabiscuit which was taken while Woolf was breezing the horse in a morning workout at Agua Caliente Racetrack in preparation for a race.
Part of the proceeds from sale of this sculpture benefits the Seabiscuit Heritage Foundation.
Internet price for "Final Victory" is $4,800
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. Kim was then able to utilize this knowledge in
the creation of these wonderful sculptures of Seabiscuit.
