In Tales from the Triple Crown, award-winning racing writer Steve
Haskin takes readers behind the scenes to introduce them to the
trainers, jockeys, and horses seeking the world's most elusive
sports prize. Feel the keen disappointment of trainer Bud Delp
after Spectacular Bid loses his Triple Crown bid because of a stray
safety pin. Witness Angel Cordero's frustration after winning the
Kentucky Derby aboard Spend a Buck only to encounter a series of
misadventures on his way home. Mourn the untimely loss of Barbaro
in a Preakness that shook the racing world. Their stories are among
the 24-including three that are new to this paperback edition-that
bring a new dimension to the repertoire of Kentucky Derby,
Preakness, and Belmont Stakes reporting. Triumph and tragedy are no
strangers to horse racing, and in Tales from the Triple Crown
Haskin shares both the adrenaline charge of victory and the
disappointment of close losses. Haskin's personal involvement, keen
eye for a good story, and engaging writing style make readers feel
like they are living the moments with him.
