For anyone who witnessed last Saturday’s historic running of the 135th Kentucky Derby where Mine That Bird, the biggest underdog winner in decades (50-1), ran away with the roses, here is the definitive tome about horse racing’s premiere event.
This publication is uniquely presented with flaps throughout the book that allow readers to take out and examine replicas of tickets, postcards and programs from races of yesteryear.
Loaded with brilliant photos and detailed statistics as well as insider stories that delve into the history, personalities, subplots and tactics of this great race, the coffee table-sized book is all one needs to bring the colorful history of the Kentucky Derby alive.
Is there a similar one for The Preakness?
Got this book as a birthday present and it is so loaded with details, it could be an encylopedia.
