Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Poirier Office Road Series (POR), dedicated to legendary Thoroughbred racehorses.

This series begins at one of New Brunswick's 83 covered bridges. Grab the cache that is there, and fasten your seatbelts. There will be a variety of hides. Expect the unexpected. Sometimes you'll be required to think outside the box, sometimes you'll need to persevere when your patience will be wearing thin. Enjoy the ride, enjoy the run.

I have dedicated the series to legendary THOROUGHBRED RACEHORSES, these amazing, graceful, beautiful animals whose names most of us have at the very least have heard about.....

SEABISCUIT
Though the grandson of Man O' War, Seabiscuit did not initially show a lot of promise as a racehorse, but all of that would change in 1936 under the guidance of new trainer Tom Smith and new jockey Red Pollard. The next year, the team won 11 of the 15 races entered, despite the fact that Pollard had lost an eye in a training incident. Seabiscuit's popularity soared, raising spirits during the depression and building extreme momentum for a race against another legend, War Admiral in 1939 billed as the "Match of the Century" in which Seabiscuit proved victorious. He retired from the racing world in 1940, but his story later inspired several books and films, including the 2003 major motion picture "Seabiscuit," which was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
