More About This Book

Overview

“Secretariat is an elegantly crafted, exhilarating tale of speed and power, grace and greatness, told with such immediacy that the reader is lost in the rush of horses and the clatter and ring of the grandstand.”

—Laura Hillenbrand, bestselling author of Seabiscuit

Updated with a new preface by the author

In 1973, Secretariat, the greatest champion in horse-racing history, won the Triple Crown. The only horse to ever grace the covers of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated in the same week, he also still holds the record for the fastest times in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. He was also the only non-human chosen as one of ESPN’s “50 Greatest Athletes of the Century.” The tale of “Big Red” is an enduring and inspiring classic, more than thirty years after its initial publication.

    Great book Can't put it down once you start!

    Researched and put together very well. I learned much about the careful planning it takes to breed and raise a thoroughbred. Learned a lot about racing too, almost know what it is like to ride a race horse on the race track, what it takes to inspire a horse to run, and the ups and downs of owning a race horse, lastly, the responsibility, dedication, and compassion of managing the career of a Thoroughbred. I looked up most of the actual races on you tube and was able to watch them as I read. It brought the book to life! Secretariat Is now a part of my heart. May the memory of that big red horse live on!

    Recommend

    I have been a horse lover all of my life and naturally think that Secretariat was/is the greatest race horse of all time. I cannot watch his Belmont without getting choked up with tears in my eyes. No horse can compare to Big Red.

    I liked the book because it told me things I never knew: Penny always preferred Riva Ridge (how is that possible?) and Secretariat's trainer ran him knowing that he was suffering a serious mouth infection, and didn't even share this important info with the jockey.(this fact was never explained) I learned many things I had never known about Secretariat, how he broke from the gate, how he pretty much ran his own race, etc. Recommend this book to any horse lover and especially those interested in learning about Big Red. I wish I had visited Kentucky to see him in person, or should I say 'in horse'?

    Very disappointing

    I expected a story about a human relationship with an exceptionally talented horse, but instead, the book was 100% about money and breeding insane numbers of horses to get those few elusive winners.

    Money, Secretariat, and Money!

    I have alwasy been a fan of the horse Secretariat and used to follow horse racing relatively closely. I did enjoy reading the history of racing and about the bloodlines. It is hard to follow because there are so many names of horses given. If you are a fan of horse racing you'll get through it. Once you get to Secretariat's training and races the book starts to pick up the pace. Although, it is part of horse racing and was part of Secretariat's life, I was sickened by how all these individuals were so greedy and how hard some of these horses are pushed just so they can get the publicity and status. This was the first time I read much about Penny Tweedy and never thought bad of her. I do believe the author was giving very honest information and I felt disappointed that Mrs. Tweedy seemed arrogant, snobbish, and money hungry just like the rest of them. Just be aware, as usual, Disney fluffed up the story in their movie. Mrs. Tweedy was not the woman they portrayed in the movie at all. All in all, it was a good read. You just have to get through the first few chapters.
