Now in paperback, reporter Elizabeth Mitchell introduces her
readers to the mysterious, mercurial world of horse racing in a
book that's as fast-paced and colorful as a day at the track.
Focusing on the 1999 Derby winner Charismatic, Mitchell traces this
horse's amazing and ultimately tragic story, from the birth of a
foal through its surprising rise to fame. Mitchell also follows the
major players in Charismatic's life, including the family who bred
him, the trainer, the owners, and the famed jockey Chris Antley,
whose own story is more tragic than that of his horse. Through
these interlocking stories a sense of familiarity with the key
players in the industry evolves, as well as a greater understanding
of the heart and soul of a sport that has fascinated human beings
for centuries.
