Everybody in the thoroughbred horse business wants to win the
Kentucky Derby, but the odds on making it to the winner's circle at
Churchill Downs are about 35,000-to-1. How did a former Chicago
newspaper editor bring together the stallion and mare and breed the
winner of the world's most famous and important horserace? Jim
Squires's Horse of a Different colour tells the story of his wild
ride from absurdity to glory at the pinnacle of horseracing success
alongside Monarchos, the charismatic gray colt blessed with the
extraordinary speed, poise, and stamina necessary to carry his
motley band of human handlers to the highest level of their
profession. Squires takes you on an exciting journey through the
close-knit and secretive world of horse breeders, buyers, sellers,
owners, and trainers. And his hilarious tour of racehorse culture
ends with a blazing sprint down the homestretch of the second
fastest Derby in history in the company of a crowd of Kentuckians
driven mad with "Derby Fever."
