George Hicks:
Just below us we've noted in the tan box square that opens onto the track, the winner's circle, a few of the judges and officials, a single table clothed in white and on it, a huge blanket of green with yellow chrysanthemums in it, and beside it, a tall, sparkling, silver trophy for the winner this afternoon.

And they're off! It's a go. And Georgie Woolf is at the whip on Seabiscuit to key him up. And they're coming to me head-and-head. War Admiral on the inside. Woolf is driving Seabiscuit and Seabiscuit is outrunning him. Seabiscuit is coming to me one length, two lengths in the lead. And he came right over -- two lengths, he goes by me. Seabiscuit by two lengths. War Admiral right on his heels. Kurtsinger sitting still and biding his time. ow it's a matter of making Seabiscuit set his own pace.
War Admiral is trailing him around the turn. Seabiscuit carried him a little bit wide there. They're going half way around the turn. Seabiscuit on the lead by two lengths. War Admiral is second to him. And Kurtsinger sitting still. Now War Admiral is trying to move to him.
They're going into the backstretch. Seabiscuit by a length and a half. Now Seabiscuit by two lengths. War Admiral second. Seabiscuit by two lengths. They've got three-quarters of a mile to come. And it's Seabiscuit by a length and a half.
Down the backstretch. They're half-way down that backstretch. And there goes War Admiral after him. Now the horserace is on. And I'm losing them -- they're head-and-head -- but I'll catch them here in just another fifty yards. They're head-and-head. And now War Admiral has a head advantage. And Seabiscuit's got a head advantage. They're going into that far turn head-and-head. And it is either one, take your choice. And right there, they're coming into view now. And they're head-and-head. Seabiscuit on the inside, by a neck with War Admiral second. A big throng dashing across the track -- across the infield there -- coming for this fence.
They'll come into the stretch here in just a second. And they're head-and-head as they head for that home lane. Watch for them now as they turn into the stretch, head-and-head. Both horses under a drive. This is a real horserace. Just what we hoped we'd get. They're head-and-head. And both jockeys driving. It's the best horse from here in. They've got two hundred yards to come. It's horse against horse. Both of them driving. Seabiscuit leads by a length. Now Seabiscuit by a length and a half. Woolf has put away his whip. Seabiscuit by three. Seabiscuit by three.
Seabiscuit is the winner by four lengths. And you've never saw such a wild crowd. Seabiscuit the winner by four lengths. I'm trying to drown this crowd out here. They're roaring around me. Seabiscuit is the winner from end to end by four lengths.
