Best sport movie trivia of 2003

Trivia: The saddle worn by Seabiscuit for some of his races is, in fact, the same saddle worn by Phar Lap, who was Australia's, if not the world's, greatest racehorse ever. Billy Elliot, who rode Phar Lap to victory in the Agua Caliente (the world's richest horserace at the time), gave the saddle to George Woolf after Phar Lap died (under mysterious circumstances) in California.

Trivia: Early in the movie, the race team leaders meet up at Tezla's Cube. This place is called the Handler Proving Ground. It is named after Elliot Handler, the person who first produced Hot Wheels in 1968.
