Seabiscuit Faces Weight Talks Ahead of Santa Anita Run
Los Angeles dispatch reports the Santa Anita Handicap weight decision to be announced late today. Seabiscuit, prospectively carrying around 132 or 133 pounds, aims to beat Sun Beau’s all time earnings with a possible Florida rematch against War Admiral. Seabiscuit is at Columbia South Carolina with Charles F. Howard planning for winter. Stagehand’s 100 pound assignment from last year is unlikely to repeat.
