Along the way, as we travel together, we have the opportunity to see the mistakes, the errors, and the pitfalls that so many people who enter the Thoroughbred world experience. But we also find, through reading and completing this journey with Cot, great lessons in how to approach the game, how to be successful at the game, but more importantly, how to enjoy it to the fullest. . There are no holds barred. Lightning in a Jar tells it like it is. The book positively blew me away and in my opinion, this is the finest book ever written about the ins and outs of horse racing.
Every angle is covered in a wonderfully easy style of writing .
Snowden Carter Former editor, Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred Cot Campbell has written the definitive guide to horse ownership and made it readable. His style is as fluid as his South Carolina accent, and the crisp photographs add a colorful touch to Campbell s affectionate mix of memoir and how-to book. Bob Lewis Popular owner of Silver Charm, Charismatic et al. Last week afforded the opportunity to read Lightning in a Jar with relatively few interruptions. You are to be congratulated heartily on a wonderful achievement.
