I enjoyed The Kid (Cauthen) by Pete Axthelm.
Also loved the Secretariat(Nack) Ruffian(Schwartz) and Wild Ride. All are terrific.
On another note, Three Strides Before the Wire which chronicles Charismatic's run and Chris Antley's downward spiral was very disappointing because facts and details were just plain wrong.
