    Old Friends “Seabiscuit” Popcorn Deelites 1998 b G, Afternoon Deelites – Turquoise Gal (Navajo) “I’m not one of the greatest race horses of all time, but I played one in the movies.” This might be the motto for Old Friends retiree “Seabiscuit”, otherwise known as POPCORN DEELITES, a low-level claimer whose career took a turn when he was cast as one of the eight horses to play the great SEABISCUIT in the Oscar-nominated film starring Tobey Maguire and Jeff Bridges. A small blood-bay just like the Depression-era hero himself, “POPCORN” accumulated just 11 wins in his six-year career and earned nearly $60,000. He was acquired by Old Friends with the help of his owner, David Hoffmans of Henderson, Nevada, and his Phoenix-based trainer Priscilla Leon. In the film, you’ll see “POPCORN” often breaking from the gate, as it turned out that was his on- screen specialty. Another Seabiscuit star, RICH IN DALLAS, was also retired through the combined efforts of Old Friends, Robbi Meisel of Flashpoint Photography, Cathy Riccio and the Exceller Fund. He now resides in Virginia. If you would like a share in this horse, you may complete the form below.
