The racehorse, Sea Biscuit.

My birthday, not that year though.

[tearinghair]

Thank you very much. I'd thought it might be something other than a person (as in 'the day the music died') but wouldn't have thought of an animal. I did think that Seabiscuit was one word, though.

[Toorak]

It is the one word but maybe the setter thought otherwise?

[THECORBYLOON]

The name of the horse is one word but the edible version is two words and hyphenated.
