Secretariat's Meadow

by: Kate Chenery Tweedy, Leeanne Meadows Ladin
The Hearts of the Meadow

This book seems to pick up where Raymond Wolfe's 2001 edition of 'Secretariat' left off. In the footnote at the end of that work Raymond updated the readers on the condition of the Meadow in 1998, with Ross Sternhiemer's purchase of the estate. 'Secretariat's Meadow' begins there and takes us back into the history of the land and its people, the players and circumstances that generated the spirit of determination that would eventually give to America if not its greatest then certainly one of its most gifted Thoroughbred performers.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend

by: Laura Hillenbrand
I love horses. Although I have such serious problems with the industry's treatment of its animals that I won't support it financially, I must admit I find thoroughbred racing to be an absolutely thrilling sport. Laura Hillenbrand does a marvelous job bringing the excitement of horse racing alive on the page.

She also does a marvelous job bringing the slice of Depression-era social and cultural history she examines alive. The men who owned, trained and rode Seabiscuit and the horse himself were all fascinating characters who experienced horrible misfortunes and great successes.

Secretariat: The Making of a Champion

by: William Nack
a remarkably well researched and well done bio of one of the greatest race horses. No detail was left out in the life of this horse including his background, breeding, owners, jockeys, trainers, and his influence on racing. I read every word with fascination and could hardly wait to get back to it each day. It was particularly appealing for this life long horse lover and owner of a Thoroughbred breeding farm.
