In this book the author, who has been an insider in racing for years, gives us a view behind the scenes of some famous and not-so-famous thoroughbreds involved in the US Triple Crown races. Some of the stories will make you chuckle, some will make you tear up, but all should entertain and inform you about the other side of horse racing, the one not always in public view. Definitely recommended, and not just for the horsey set. ( )
