Description

"Secretariat is definitely an elegantly constructed, exciting story of pace and energy, success and elegance, informed with such immediacy the audience is lost in the clatter of horses and the hurry and band of the grandstand." --Laura Hillenbrand, best-selling author of Seabiscuit Updated with a brand new preface by the author In 1973, Secretariat, the best winner in horse racing background, won the Triple-Crown. The only real horse to ever grace the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated in exactly the same week, he also still holds the record for the fastest times in both Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. He was also the only real nonhuman selected as you of ESPN's "50 Greatest Athletes of the Century." The story of "Big Red" is definitely an uplifting and enduring vintage, significantly more than thirty years following its original publication.
