When Joanie from ST Publishing called us about a new book about
Saratoga, I sighed and said, “Well, send us a review copy and we’ll take a
look.” Secretly, I thought, “Oh no, not another book of pretty pictures and
aimless copy that I’ll have to reject…” I was so wrong! This is a
fantastic collection of stories, interviews and articles written about
the people, places, horses and action in Saratoga. It's lively. It's
filled with photos of the racing action, the trainers, the jockeys, the
exercise riders, the owners and the horses ... from the greats to the
stable ponies. You'll find interviews with the likes of Laura
Hillenbrand on Seabiscuit, Gary Stevens, John Nerud, Peb, Shug McGaughey
and more. You'll enjoy the comments of the trainers and jockeys about
their horses.
This book, like no other, is that special flavor of
Saratoga. |
