I downloaded this short book on a whim and was surprised at how many of these horses and farms I recognized from childhood.  There are so many hollywood films popping up about the big names of classic horse racing, I felt like I had seen the races described in the book.  Think about Secretariat, War Admiral, Seattle Slew,  and legendary jockeys like Stevie Cauthen and Bill Saunders.  Seattle Slew winning at Preakness was my earliest memory of Wide World of Sports.  Hard to believe a horse hasn't won the triple crown in 34 years!  Most people thought 'I'll have Another' could do it last year, but he didn't run the Belmont due to injury.  Fascinating, well ordered, and easy to read.
