Told from the perspective of a
man who, for five decades, has attended the races in Saratoga, The
History and Art of 25 Travers is Vic Zast's personal account of
the last 22 Travers Stakes and a look back at three of the greatest
races in history.
This beautiful book contains
the entire collection of Greg Montgomery's Travers Stakes posters - the
longest continuing series of sporting art in the world.
Individual chapters are devoted
to such soul-stirring races as the 1988 Travers in which Forty-Niner
held off Seeking the Gold and Brian's Time; the 1995 running in which
future Horse of the Year Holy Bull led from bell to wire; the 1998
blanket finish of Coronado's Quest, Victory Gallop and Raffie's Majesty
in the closest Travers ever; and the 2004 Travers that Birdstone, owned
by Marylou Whitney, won in the dark before a sudden summer rainstorm.
If you love Saratoga, you'll
want this on your coffee table. Greg Montgomery Artwork Also Available -
