5.0 out of 5 stars True rivalries between both humans and horses, November 13, 2003

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legacies of the Turf: A Century of Great Thoroughbred Breeders (Hardcover)

In Legacies Of The Turf: A Century Of Great Thoroughbred Breeders (Vol. 1), racing historian and expert Edward L. Bown presents the stories of some of the greatest Thoroughbred race horses in history and the often charismatic, powerful, or quirky individuals who supported them. Capitalists, philanthropists, and women working with the bloodlines of champion steeds soon learned that the stellar a few sires and dams dominated racing circuit, and true rivalries between both humans and horses, on and off the race field permeate this fascinating, nicely illustrated, and highly recommended horse racing chronicle.
