IT'S SEABISCUIT! IT'S WAR ADMIRAL! THEY'RE NECK AND NECK! IT'S
SEABISCUIT BY FOUR LENGTHS!

KERRY WINS BY FOUR LENGTHS!

Check out how the famous horse race matches the campaign we have just seen:

"To everyone's astonishment, Seabiscuit shot to the lead. Before the first turn, with his horse two lengths in front, Woolf steered Seabiscuit to the rail and then reeled him in to conserve his strength. War Admiral's jockey, Charley Kurtsinger, swung his horse to the outside and drew even down the backstretch. For nearly half a mile, the two ran head to head.

Midway around the far turn, with the crowd roaring, War Admiral pushed his nose in front. But one glance at the other horse convinced Woolf that the rally had taken its toll. "War Admiral's eye was rolling wildly in its socket, as though the horse was in agony," he said later. "I knew we had him right then." Woolf gave Seabiscuit a shout, and the little brown horse delivered a final burst of speed, galloping to a four-length victory in a track-record 1:56.6."

GO SEABISCUIT!!!

1. Please, War Admiral was a great thoroughbred and a son of
the greatest horse ever, Man O' War. NO WAY is Bush a War Admiral. I can't think of any animal to compare him with either cuz he's lower than a worm.
