Description

When Jim Squires set up shop as a horse breeder in the bluegrass country of Kentucky, no one held out much hope for him making a living at it. But he had been raising horses for 20 years, including equine athletes. This is Squires’s rollicking tale of how a novice in the world of Kentucky horse culture did more than merely stay in business: he brought together the stallion & mare who produced Monarchos, the colt who went on to win the 2001 Kentucky Derby. Squires lays bare the close-knit & secretive world of the thoroughbred community, tweaking the self-important owners at the Keeneland & Saratoga auctions, & skewering the preening trainers at Churchill Downs & Gulfstream Park. B&W photos.
