However, together they created a miracle in the history of horse racing. In 1936, horse trainer Tom Smith bought a 3-year-old thoroughbred horse named "Sea Biscuit". It was a horse dung-colored, short stature, protruding knees and asymmetrical, and it was not straight enough. It was completely defective. Typical. Despite its extremely poor record, Smith still saw the uniqueness of this horse: "Sea biscuit reveals a kind of real self-confidence."
Under Smith's training, the sea biscuit has undergone a qualitative change, and the sea biscuit really lives up to it. Hopefully, it and its jockey Red Hair Paula are almost invincible. In 1937, Sea Biscuits won ten important lottery games. Its annual income reached 144,000 US dollars, more than the most profitable horse racing in its heyday. On November 1, 1938, the match between Sea Biscuit and another prize horse king, the "Warlord", attracted the attention of all Americans, and even people who had never watched a horse race paid attention to the game. The sea biscuit that won by four horses was well-deservedly elected to the annual horse racing.
An accident on February 14, 1939 seemed to have ended the sea biscuit business-the suspensory ligament ruptured on the left front leg, and it was likely that it would no longer be able to participate in the competition. Masbola's leg was also interrupted and reconnected for the third time.
Paula said: "Sea Biscuit and I are a pair of lame people, we are all over." However, in the autumn of the same year, the owner of Hai Biscuit made an amazing announcement: On March 2, 1940, the 7-year-old Hai Biscuit will be the last A challenge that it has been unable to conquer: Santa Anita 100,000 prize money tournament. At this time, if Hongmao Pola's leg is broken again, she will be disabled for life. But Paula insisted that he could play. He said: "I have four good legs with the sea biscuit, so that's it."
The entire racing community is paying attention to Santa Anita and the comeback of Sea Biscuit. It has twice passed the $100,000 bonus by a small gap. The results of the race shocked the entire United States. Sea Biscuit ran the best result in the history of the Santa Anita Race, the second best result in the history of American horse racing, and broke the world record. The famous writer Julie Roger wrote: "How lucky I am to see this day alive."
Sea Biscuit was injured and could hardly continue the game, but it overcame the injury and continued to compete until Retired in old age. Its jockey Paula has also had a tragic accident, but the lame old partners are all cheered up again, and they are stubborn and regaining their glory. For a country that has fallen into the anxiety and panic caused by the economic depression, this is definitely a brilliant dawn. Every protagonist in the story has the spirit of fighting, and the spirit and power to overcome difficulties and win success paved a road to success. This spirit is the cornerstone of success. The legend of Sea Biscuit and Paula is the best portrayal of this spirit. The era of ocean crackers was the era of the Great Depression in the United States. At that time, ocean crackers succeeded in playing an idol that can pin the American spirit. The miracle of sea crackers has inspired countless Americans in anxiety and panic. Subsequently, the US economy also began to recover. From this perspective, the sea biscuit not only changed the fate of him and his master, but also inspired the entire country.
