Digitally & artistically enhanced. Public domain. Seabiscuit and George Woolf, both looking into the camera, lead War Admiral & Jockey Charles Kursinger in the first turn at Pimlico, Baltimore, MD. Considered by many one of the greatest horse racing photos of all time, digitally enhanced, maximum resolution.

On November 1, 1938, Seabiscuit met War Admiral and jockey Charles Kurtsinger in what was dubbed the "Match of the Century." The event was run over 1 3⁄16 miles (1.9 km) at Pimlico Race Course. From the grandstands to the infield, the track was jammed with fans. Trains were run from all over the country to bring fans to the race, and the estimated 40,000 at the track were joined by 40 million listening on the radio. War Admiral was the favorite (1–4 with most bookmakers) and a nearly unanimous selection of the writers and tipsters, excluding a California contingent.

Head-to-head races favor fast starters, and War Admiral's speed from the gate was well know...
