Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 1993

Whittingham is an outstanding biography of an extraordinary man. As a thoroughbred trainer, Whittingharn has scored two triumphs in the Kentucky Derby-both achieved after his 73rd birthday. The story of Charlie Whittingham is also the story of modern thoroughbred racing. Hovdey captures excitement of Thoroughbred racing at its best!

Eleanor Burke "bowlofflowers" (Milwaukee, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whittingham: The Story of a Thoroughbred Racing Legend (Hardcover)

Excellent writing about a fantastic thoroughbred Trainer. His work ethic would inspire everyone who follows his life story. The horses he got to train is a history lesson and Charlie's sense of humor and betting finese very entertaining.

Thank you, Jay Hovdey.
