Horse-Canada Book Stall

The Most Glorious Crown, by Marvin Drager. 284pp. After nearly 130 years of trying, only 11 colts have swept the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes to earn the Triple Crown – the grand slam of Thoroughbred racing. These 11 were more than just magnificent Thoroughbreds – they were stars, and their stories are full of the drama, passion, and courage associated with stardom. These champions’ stories are found in The Most Glorious Crown, the most entertaining and comprehensive work on the Triple Crown winners ever assembled. History Channel DVD Inside – Win, Place, Show: The History of Horse Racing Through historic footage and commentary from jockeys, owners, trainers, and other insiders, this 100-minute DVD chronicles the rise of Saratoga Springs as the sport’s home and tracks the careers of the greatest champions, including Man o’War, Whirlaway, Citation, Secretariat, and many more. It is the definitive film history of the “Sport of Kings.”
