The Kentucky Thoroughbred
Search in google:
The Thoroughbred Horse has an unparalleled significance to the state of Kentucky. The breeding, training, selling, and racing of these remarkable animals today amounts to a multibillion dollar sporting business, and the development of that industry serves as a compelling history of both the state and the Sport of Kings itself. Author Kent Hollingsworth tells that story, chronicling racing's history through tales of its most dominant, memorable stallions. With the love of a true horseman, Hollingsworth captures the vibrancy and excitement that Thoroughbred racing has brought to the Commonwealth in every era, recounting the successes and failures of each horse and capturing the lives of their breeders, trainers, owners, and jockeys.
