Book Review: Secretariat: The Making of a Champion
Summary: 3 Stars
It's original title used to be "Big Red of Meadow Stable" which gives you a clue that this book needed a little flash from the marketing department to get it to sell. For Secretariat fans, it's a must simply because it is about the only book devoted to Big Red out there, definately the only one still in print. This was originally published in 1975 and the rerelease did NOT include any updates, most notably the great horses he's sired and art he has inspired. This book, lacking material, goes into excruciating detail of Secretariat's owners' past, his workout times, and about each and every owner of his thirty-odd person syndicate. The book only shines when focusing on the horse himself--as brilliant and as compelling as any actor who ever walked a stage. And reliving the Triple Crown win to end all Triple Crown wins makes it seem as if it just happened yesterday. There are a few black and white photos, not many of Big Red.
