Rich in detail and crackling with wit, The Race for the Triple
Crown is a personal narrative that captures the affecting stories
of the Thoroughbred racing world. From ostentatious owners, to
radiant unrivaled horses, to young trainers trying to make a name
for themselves, everyone has a gripping story, and all are in
search of the sport's Holy Grail. How they get to and through the
enormously famous races is a tale of action, high-stakes finance,
and impossible odds. Told in the compelling voice of the
award-winning New York Times sportswriter Joe Drape, The Race for
the Triple Crown is a vivid portrait of a year in the life of the
oldest, most majestic sport in the world. "I loved it " -- Jane
Smiley, author of Horse Heaven " Drape] opens up a magical,
mysterious world -- and he does it with equal parts humor,
affection and wisdom...." -- Bill Minutaglio, The Dallas Morning
News "Drape's narrative never falters. He captures the
personalities that dominate the sport." -- David Davis, Raleigh
News and Observer "In crisp, elegant prose, Drape captures his
subjects and their sport.... -- Laura Hillenbrand, author of
Seabiscuit
