Where is seabiscuits grave

To demonstrate what the statue would look like there, a fake Seabiscuit, surrounded by parking cones, was placed in the parking lot. Photos compared with the original statue at the original site seem to show the exact line of hills in the background.

Of the 19 church members who voted in , two voted to place the statue in the parking lot. Ten voted for a placement also near the Howard home, where the statue stands now, but not on the parking lot.

We have the money to do it. I would think a lot of racing fans would. Bill Dwyre was a three-times-weekly sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times from Before that, he was sports editor of the paper for 25 years. He was sports editor of the Milwaukee Journal from to , when he joined The Times.

Dwyre was named National Headliner Award winner in , sportswriter of the year in Wisconsin in and sportswriter of the year in California in How to watch the best games in college football this weekend. All Sections. About Us. B2B Publishing. Business Visionaries. Hot Property. This question lingers and we expect it will linger for years. The Seabiscuit Heritage Foundation appreciates that after 70 years, racing fans young and old, care enough to ask this question.

Seabiscuit was privately owned by the Howards, not by a racing syndicate, and when he died an untimely death at Ridgewood Ranch on May 17, , the Howard family wanted his burial to be personal and private. Their sense of loss was said to be profound and long-lasting. Oh wait this is history and the wear and tear of 70 years is part of the beauty. But that obviously escapes people with no vision.

Thank you for the information. I am interested to know why the Howard family sold the property shortly after the death of Charles Howard. Is it true that Charles Howard asked that the ranch not ever be sold?

I truly, truly hope that this story about Seabiscuit being buried underneath a parking lot is not true. My Grandparents were from the depression era, my grandmother watched Seabiscuit as a child. I keep him near and dear to my heart, he serves as a reminder to my horse that even the smallest of things can have the biggest of dreams.

Hi everyone! Thank you for your interest in Ridgewood Ranch, the home of Seabiscuit.
