The Story of Seabiscuit1949

Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms:
Did you buy anything?

Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner:
No, but I'm going to buy one now, if you'll sell. I saw a three-year-old of yours running in a selling race this afternoon, smallish sort of colt with big knees, Seabiscuit.

Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms:
Seabiscuit? Why do you want him?

Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner:
Well, you can't shoot for the stakes all the time. I gotta have some horses for cheap races. He was entered for 6000. Will you take 8000 for him?

Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms:
Well, I think so. How about it, George?

George Carson, Head Trainer at Milford Farms:
The string's pretty large, boss. We've got a lot like him.

Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms:
It's a deal, Charlie.

Charles S. Howard, Seabiscuit's Owner:
Good. We'll get him tomorrow. By the way, Tom, I hired Shawn O'Hara on the strength of your letter. [Mr. Milford and George look at each other and laugh] What's the joke?

Thomas Milford, Owner Milford Farms:
Oh, nothing. Only George and I know now why you want the Biscuit. And listen, Charlie, when you get him back to California, don't let Shawn stable him in the living room!
