Seabiscuit

Visible crew/equipment: When Red has the accident and the horse is trying to get on its feet there is a clear view of the stuntman's face. (01:29:55)

Factual error: In the shot where Pimlico racetrack is shown and the dateline shows November 1, 1938, the Maryland flag is upside down. The black and gold squares should be at the inside top and they are not. (01:35:10)

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.

Question: Does anyone know what historically happened to Red's parents?

Answer: I have tried to look this up, and there is no record of Red's parents. Most likely they just died of old age.
