A well-written work about an overlooked and underappreciated race horse that not only won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes but was also Horse of the Year in 1989. The author provides lots of information about the people involved, but not overwhelmingly so. I'm keeping this one.
Great biography of the horse, covering his pedigree, racing career, and stud career up to about 2000. Also information about breeder, owners, trainer, and jockey. My copy is signed by the author on the title page.
