Book Reviews of Champions: The Lives, Times, and Past Performances of America's Greatest Thoroughbreds, Revised Edition
Book Review: For The VERY Serious Horse Racing Fan
Summary: 3 Stars
I was disappointed to discover that in this 448 page book, approximately 290 pages are devoted to thousands of lines of statistical data. It was not what I expected. The history of the sport is arranged in a time line format with a story on each decade from the 1890s to 2004, each chapter followed by 30 or more pages of statistics. I am not a horse racing fan but I did find this book enlightening. What I learned is that horse racing is really all about the breeding and the money. I found this very sad, especially in light of the recent tragic deaths of Barbaro and Eight Belles.
