On New Year’s Eve in 1938, the United States’ top ten news figures of the year were released. There were nine people on the list, including Franklin Roosevelt, Neville Chamberlain, and Adolf Hitler. They were on the same list as the ocean. The biscuit horse-it was short and defective, and its jockey was impoverished.

However, together they created a miracle in the history of horse racing. In 1936, horse trainer Tom Smith bought a 3-year-old thoroughbred horse named "Sea Cake Biscuit". It was a horse dung-colored, short stature, protruding and asymmetrical knees, and it was not straight enough. It was completely flawed. The typical figure. Despite its extremely poor record, Smith still saw the uniqueness of this horse: "Ocean biscuits reveal a kind of real confidence."

Under Smith's training, the ocean biscuits have undergone a qualitative change, and the ocean biscuits really live up to their expectations. Hopefully, it and its jockey Red Hair Paula are almost invincible. In 1937, Sea Biscuits won ten important lottery games, and its annual income reached 144,000 US dollars, more than the most profitable horse racing in its heyday. On November 1, 1938, the match between Sea Biscuit and another prize horse king, the "Warlord", attracted the attention of all Americans, and even people who had never watched a horse race paid attention to the game. The Ocean Biscuit, which won by four horses, was well-deservedly elected to the Horse Racing of the Year.

An accident on February 14, 1939 seemed to have ended the marine biscuit career-the suspensory ligament ruptured on the left front leg, and it was likely that it would no longer be able to participate in the competition. Masbola's leg was also interrupted and reconnected for the third time.

Paula said: "Ocean Biscuit and I are a pair of lame men. We are all over." However, in the autumn of the same year, the owner of Ocean Biscuit made an amazing announcement: On March 2, 1940, the 7-year-old Sea Biscuit will be the last A challenge that it has been unable to conquer: the Santa Anita 100,000 Bonus Tournament. At this time, if Hongmao Pola's leg is broken again, she will be disabled for life. But Paula insisted that he could play. He said, "I have four good legs with the sea biscuit, so that's it."

The entire horse racing community is paying attention to Santa Anita and the comeback of Ocean Biscuit. It has twice passed the $100,000 bonus by a small gap. The results of the race shocked the entire United States. Ocean Biscuit ran the best result in the history of the Santa Anita Race, the second best result in the history of American horse racing, and broke the world record. The famous writer Julie Roger wrote: "How lucky I am to live to see this day." The

Sea Biscuit was injured and could hardly continue the game, but it overcame the injury and continued to compete until Retired in old age. Its jockey Paula has also had a tragic accident, but the lame old partners are all cheered up again, and they are stubborn and regaining their glory. For a country that has fallen into the anxiety and panic caused by the economic depression, this is definitely a brilliant dawn. Every protagonist in the story has the spirit of fighting, and the spirit and power to overcome difficulties and win success paved a road to success. This spirit is the cornerstone of success. The legendary story of Ocean Biscuit and Pola is the best portrayal of this spirit. The era of ocean crackers was the era of the Great Depression in the United States. At that time, ocean crackers succeeded in playing an idol that can pin the American spirit. The miracle of ocean crackers has inspired countless Americans in anxiety and panic. Subsequently, the US economy also began to recover. From this perspective, the sea biscuit not only changed the fate of him and his master, but also inspired the entire country.

    The previous multi-line narrative is not clear enough, and the plot is also a bit cliché, and the story of the real "ocean biscuits" in history is even more moving. However, as an inspirational film, it is not bad to touch people's hearts in a down-to-earth manner. The radio host is a bright spot, this gentleman is so funny!

    1. We don't know how tall we are until someone tells us to get up. If we plan carefully, we will stand tall. 2. He doesn't know that he is small, he thinks he is the tallest horse. If a little guy doesn't know that he is small, he can make a big business.
