well done Ann.
that book will be my Christmas present to myself.
sounds like it will be a good read.


seeing that you are an author, are there any other thoroughbred books comprised of biographies or breeding that you would especially recommend?

I read the Bloodhorse's Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century and the similar book that Thoroughbred Times put out.
Ive read most of the essential handicapping books, but I was hoping to buy some more biographical based books on the sport.
thanks.

Congratulations. That sounds like a book that will find it's way into the home of every top breeder in the world. I will be sure to pick up a few copies as Christmas gifts.

I know your stallion was one of the most talented horses to ever run. I would not call myself an expert like you but I know his Grecian Banner was actually the mother of Personal Ensign. It is pretty remarkable how he produced really good daughters and not so good sons. Does the book get into AEI/CI ratios?

You must feel like you owned Hoist The Flag after becoming the Hoist The Flag expert. I hear how authors feel they knew people they were writing about and started to talk to them as if they were alive (Doris Kearns Goodwin said this about Lincoln). So do you find yourself rooting for anything from his bloodlines?

I root for all the Hail to Reason horses, especially those from Roberto like Dynaformer. I have wasted quite a few dollars betting on horses simply because they came from that Hail to Reason line.

Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving.
