The Race for the Triple Crown

"Joe Drape gives ua a step-by-step look at the Triple Crown races and the sport's most illustrious participants. He captures the sights and smells from the bush-league tracks of the Bayou, to the twin spires at Churchill Downs, to the winner's circle at historic Belmont Park, and all the stops in between. The stories are of the riders, the owners, the jockeys, and the horses themselves; these are stories of the incredible wins, the painful losses, the exuberances of money, and the deep love felt for one of the oldest, most thrilling, and most majestic sports in the world."--BOOK JACKET.
