Factual error: The Pimlico race track has a modern electronic scoreboard. It's visible when we see the race course in the morning before the race starts as well as after the race. (01:35:00 - 01:42:00)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Before his first race after his accident Red puts a leather brace on the injured leg. He ties it in front, but when he walks over to Seabiscuit the brace is tied on the side. (01:59:20)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Tick Tock McGlaughlin watches Seabiscuit being prepared for racing again he pretends to be reading a newspaper. When Charles and Tom talk to him he is holding the newspaper open with both hands, but at the end of the conversation he is suddenly holding the folded newspaper in one hand. (01:54:15)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Before the match race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral, Charles and Mr. Riddle take their seats. They exchange a few words, then Riddle turns away to talk to his seat neighbor, but when the camera cuts to Charles we see Riddle in the background still looking at him as he did before. (01:37:20)

NancyFelix

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)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: Before the race at Pimlico a crowd of reporters is waiting at the stable window for Seabiscuit to be worked out. The way they are leaning in the window sill varies greatly between close-up and a wide angle that shows them and Tom. (01:26:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When the protagonists listen to Mr. Riddle on the radio Tom's hand covers his mouth. When the camera angle changes he is holding his arm over his stomach. (01:12:45)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When Charles gives Red $20 with his left hand he is holding a newspaper under his right arm. The camera angle changes that we see Charles' upper body from behind, he puts his right hand on Red's shoulder, and when we see the whole Charles again the newspaper has disappeared. (01:04:00)

NancyFelix

Factual error: When Charles gives Red a $20 advance he hands over a modern bill. (01:03:40)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: When all the protagonists are sitting on one bench in church Red has a big smile on his face. When the camera angle changes to a close-up his smile is completely gone. (00:55:10)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: In the first of Red's boxing fights he gets very badly hit on his right eye. When he is leaning against the ropes blood is running down his cheek, but when he turns around the lower part of his cheek is clean. (00:25:25)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the death of his son we see Charles sitting in an armchair playing with the small marble game. The way he is holding the game changes back and forth between shots. (00:22:50)

NancyFelix

Continuity mistake: After the car race into the mountains Charles gives a speech. When a photographer takes a picture a huge cloud arises from the flashlight and drifts over to Charles. However, in the next two shots the cloud is gone, but in the third shot it's back again. (00:07:55)
