Seabiscuit Fails To Win But Proves Soundness In Return
Seabiscuit finishes third in the $2000 La Jolla Handicap at Arcadia behind Heelfly and Sun Egret. Despite being boxed at the rail and carrying 128 pounds, the 1937 champion demonstrates fitness after a year out with a ligament injury, earning $200 and remaining $35,000 short of Sun Beau’s record. Heelfly gains momentum for Santa Anita and likely meets Seabiscuit again in next week’s San Carlos Handicap prior to the Santa Anita meet.
