Favorite Horseracing Book
 

What is your favorite book on the subject of horseracing?

Bally's in Vegas

Edit: Oops!! http://www.amazon.com/Champions-Revi...e=UTF8&s=books

you didn't specify if the bok is for handicapping or just to read...my fav is Stud: Adventures in Breeding...there are some laugh out loud moments in that book...it's great.

I meant really anything on the topic like capping or from the Legends series etc.

I enjoyed that book too...the description of Dynaformer was probably the funniest as this was before I'd ever actually seen breeding 'in practice'. LOL

I enjoyed Three Strides from the Wire.

I'm also a sucker for the coffee table type book...I love Barbara Livingston's Old Friends... and I have a beautiful book by Yann Arthus-Bertrand that is simply titled Horses ... it covers many breeds and styles but there is racing in one section

W.H.P. Robertson's History of Thoroughbred Racing in America and Damon Runyon's 'Broadway Tales' books..

I have two: first Brian mayfield smyths book
about a trainer who started life as a jackaroo & his outlook on training & life.
Second;" Northerly" the unlikely champion.
born dead brought back to life , two offset knees no good for the sales went on to win 9 million a remarkable book about a horse who just hated losing.
my favorite memory of this horse was not of it winning but watching this horse race & take a chunk out of the horse next to it who was trying to pass it.

Thanks for posting that Magic! Northerly is a nice horse.

Lonhro is GORGEOUS....I love the stallion brochure for Woodlands Stud, neat website too.
