Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame

In 1938 Pollard was in hospital after suffering a badly smashed leg during a training session 
on another horse and was unable to ride Seabiscuit in the colt’s most memorable race of his 
career – the match race against War Admiral in the Pimlico Special. Plagued by injuries 
throughout his career (he was blind in his right eye), he injured the leg just before the race 
and was forced to give up the ride to his friend, George Woolf. Pollard returned to Howard’s 
farm in California to recover from his injuries, which horsemen believed would end his 
career. Soon afterwards he was joined by Seabiscuit at the farm in 1939, who was 
convalescing from a ruptured suspensory ligament that many thought would also end his 
career. But Pollard and Seabiscuit returned to the track a year later and climaxed their 
careers in the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap in March, 1940.
