Round Table: Thoroughbred Legends av John McEvoy
This volume in the series is one of the best. It focuses on the horse and his accomplishments; the owner, trainer, and jockey are discussed, but only when they impact the horse's story. As the author points out, Round Table was underrated during his career and continues to be overlooked by history.
While browsing at the public library, I noticed on the shelves another book about the champion racehorse, Seabiscuit, with a recommendation by Laura Hillenbrand splashed across the cover, so why not give it a try?
And I'm glad I did.
The Seabiscuit Story is composed mainly of original articles published in The Blood Horse, with brief synopses and addenda by the editor, and including some rare photographs from the 1930s to add jam to the bread of the stories.
Racing fans should love this book, as should most people interested in the sport, or in the story of the little thoroughbred racer that could, and did, during the years of the Great Depression. It is a well-done addition to racing's history books.
