Book Reviews of Horse Racing's Greatest Rivalries
Book Review: Especially recommended reading for all thoroughbred horse racing enthusiasts
Summary: 5 Stars
Acclaimed to be the sport of kings, thoroughbred horse racing is epitomized by racing's 'Triple Crown' and the legendary rivalries associated with these contests. In "Horse Racing's Greatest Rivalries" the staff of Blood-Horse Publications has compiled and explores twenty of the greatest match-ups as selected by a panel of turf writers and racing historians. Profusely illustrated with period photographs, readers will be treated to informed and informative descriptions of such well known examples as Seabiscuit and War Admiral, Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, as well as such lesser known but equally important pairings such as the filly Galloreet and the nineteen races she ran against her older male rival named Stymie. A riveting history that is especially recommended reading for all thoroughbred horse racing enthusiasts, "Horse Racing's Greatest Rivalries" is a unique and welcome addition to personal reading lists and community library collections.
