Book Reviews of Secretariat
Book Review: Let us not forget Secretariat's groom
Summary: 5 Stars
Raymond Wolfe's great "Secretariat" is a masterpiece, and the pictures immortal. But I would like to give credit for the one man who had more to do with the well being of the greatest horse and knew him better than any person. That was his groom, Edward "Shorty" Sweat, probably the most professional, intuitive and caring groom in the business. He was a prince of a man who knew everything possible about Secretariat. Secretariat loved him like no other human--that says it all. The groom is always forgotten.Book Review: Makes Me Cry to Read It
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this book!! I adore Secretariat and wept like a baby when he died. This book is really the next best thing to watching the videos of him run. Even just reading about the Belmont Stakes sends a thrill down my spine. This book captures the spirit of "Big Red" - from when he was foal on the farm to his retirement from racing. The pictures are wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in this great champion.Book Review: This book is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great and chock full of beautiful, rich, and colorful photos; Secretariat almost looks real in some of them. It has just as much accurate information as Bill Nack's "The Making of a Champion," but doesn't go into the tedious detail of related bloodlines and the syndicate deal made for Secretariat. I found this book to be better than Nack's because of that, the pacing, and the gorgeous photos.Book Review: Great book about Big Red
Summary: 5 Stars
I was quite pleased with this book, especially the expanded edition, which includes information about his offspring. I wish it had more photos, but the photos that are there are choice. Wolfe did his research. And interesting read and a must have if you're a fan of Secretariat.Book Review: Secretariat
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book for everyone. Gives good insight into backgound on Secretariat before, during and after his races. Great insight into how he was handles, media pressure and everything around this great horse. Would highly recommend for everyone. Could not put down.
