The early 20th century was called the Golden Age of Sport in
America with such heroes as Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey grabbing
headlines. And alongside them on the front page were horses such as
Man o' War, Colin, and Gallant Fox. The men who trained these
champion racehorses became icons in their right, shaping the
landscape of American horse racing during this time. In "Masters of
the Turf", well-known racing historian Edward L. Bowen takes an
in-depth look at the lives of this elite group of trainers,
including the legendary Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, who trained two
Triple Crown winners in the 1930s among a host of other champions
for the powerful Belair Stud and Wheatley Stable; the father-son
team of Ben and Jimmy Jones, who helped Calumet Farm dominate
racing in the 1940s; and turn-of-the-century masters James Rowe and
Sam Hildreth.
