Reason for name

In the article it says Seabiscuit got his name from his Sire "Hard Tack", Seabiscuit being a variation of hardtack and a biscuit sailors eat. The only citation for this was a cookbook article containing hardtack as a recipe. Let me know if anybody else finds more on this. MaximusEditor (talk) 18:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2003 Movie

The Wikipedia article on Seabiscuit incorrectly lists the 2003 movie Seabiscuit as a fiction movie. It is a nonfiction movie. The the separate Wikipedia article on the 2003 movie Seabiscuit correctly states that it is nonfiction. Smoochfink (talk) 01:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
