Native Dancer, The Grey Ghost, Hero of a Golden Age
by John Eisenberg

One of my favorites.

Secretariat by Nack is also very good.

Wild Ride, The Rise and Fall of Calumet Farm, by Ann Auerbach. You will get a good idea of the people in the business. It is a great read. Unbelievable **** in that book.

Nobody writes or talks about horse racing like Bill Nack. His Secretariat book is the best.....by far. The man does not try to be fair and impartial. He flat out LOVED Big Red, and it shows in the book. But it shows in a good way. His love of the horse led him to write an incredibly detailed and thoroughly researched biography of a horse. It does not get any better.

I love Native Dancer. To me, this horse doesn't get enough recognition and is definitely in my top five greats of all time.

i would recommend 'my racing heart' by nan mooney. not about any particular horse, but an excellent book for racing fans.

It's a very wll written book. You'll like it.
I'm kind of partial to Native Dancer. His blood flows in some of mine.
I'd love to see a book about Swaps, Round Table, Sea Bird, and My Babu.
Heck, throw in The Tetrach and Mumtaz Mahal while we're at it.
