Seabiscuit, on the outside, and Kayak II stretched their legs on January 29, 1940, in a workout between races for the public over the weekend at Santa Anita Racetrack. The 'Biscuit was scheduled to run Wednesday in actual competition. Although neither horse was pushed, Kayak II's performance captured the fancy of the public in the workout. However, by February 28, 1940, public sentiment had swung so strongly that the Howard entry of the 'Biscuit and Kayak II was expected to go to post 6 to 5 favorite in the sixth running of the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap on Saturday.
