Right about Woolf--thanks. I hadn't realized that the expression "So long Charlie" originated with Woolf and that race.

In some of the Googled links and I think in the movie, too, Woolf supposedly yells "So long Charlie just as Seabiscuit starts to pull away from War Admiral. But in the film clip, Woolf is yelling something after he crosses the finish line. Dramatic license, I guess.
