LEXINGTON, Ky. - If we could read between the lines of history or look in the hearts of owners and trainers, perhaps we would find the full story of Seabiscuit. Such material as we have, however, is always part fiction, seen through the lens of Hollywood or the creative mind of the writer. Even so, Seabiscuit has captured the imagination of readers and moviegoers today as fully as he enthralled the public during his latter years at the racetrack.

Booklet, a Grade 1 winner owned by John and Debby Oxley, will enter stud at the Greathouse family's Glencrest Farm in Midway, Ky., in 2004, the farm has announced.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Cee's Elegance, the latest California-bred to become a graded stakes winner, is having a breakthrough campaign.

Jamie Lenes did not intend to become a Thoroughbred breeder, but he headed in that direction with Loaded for Bear. The result of his short venture in the breeding business with one mare is two-time Rocket Man Stakes winner Baby Shark.
