| If you ever wondered how we got to modern horse racing from the past, and who was famous in the past, then this is a MUST HAVE Book for your coffee table or library. I almost cried when I read about Ruffian, and I remembered her tragic spill in the famous male/female match race with Foolish Pleasure. I was a child at a family friend's house and it was dark and raining, and the beautiful Ruffian went to the lead and then tragically fell sending her into immortal status. The John Henry story is a book possible all by itself. A great job by Mark and Mary Simon, I was very impressed and I'm in the business. Best Regards to All, MC - TheStickRules.Com |
