<P> When the bell rang , Seabiscuit broke in front , led by over a length after 20 seconds , and soon crossed over to the rail position . Halfway down the backstretch , War Admiral started to cut into the lead , gradually pulling level with Seabiscuit , then slightly ahead . Following advice he had received from Pollard , Woolf had eased up on Seabiscuit , allowing his horse to see his rival , then asked for more effort . Two hundred yards from the wire , Seabiscuit pulled away again and continued to extend his lead over the closing stretch , finally winning by four lengths despite War Admiral 's running his best time for the distance . </P>
